I was waiting for my motorcycle to be serviced and while I waited I had no clue what to do until I Found this cafe from following a sign and it lead me to a gem. The pastry is delicious and fluffy, the coffee tastes so good, even tastes like the vanilla syrup is of high quality. I only wish more people would check out this nice place.

Great coffee and a real cappuccino. The pies are chunky with real meat and lots of variety. The burgers are priced well and delicious.

Coffee was great! Presented beautifully, tasted just right, I didn't even need to add sugar. Obviously experienced barista. Burgers were really good, both beef and vege. Fresh tasty ingredients, beef seasoned and cooked perfectly. Staff all lovely. Listened, confirmed orders, delivered correctly with our changes. Definitely will return more regularly! Highly recommended

Same quality great pies as I'm used to from other Elaine's stores, but in a much nicer store. Very spacious and plentiful dine in options, friendly staff. Only thing missing was a little music for ambiance, but miles better than sitting on the road in Fyshwick! (Speakers on the walls so maybe there's just a technical glitch!) Update: can confirm atmosphere is now perfect 5 star with speakers playing lovely cafe beats

Curry steak Pie delicious and perfect pastry. The gentleman behind the counter asked would you like a coffee as I won't be disappointed. Perfect coffee. Nestled in the Industrial area, for a beautiful coffee shop with such excellent food variety I find this is a little hidden gem. Worth a visit. A nice touch had complementary top-notch sauces and cutlery.

Probably the best pie I have ever had, not even joking. The filling of the pie is more like a ragu. It’s like an entire meal in a pie, so filling and very tasty. Pepper Steak is my favourite, highly recommend this to all.
