Brendan's Cafe On The Goodwill Bridge

Never said this before... EVERYONE HERE SEEMS HAPPY! The photos speak for themselves. PS Food options not gr8, but it's not what this place is about. If I had this spot, I might offer sushi à la sushi sushi, but only the takeaway style and limited choices. Only an idea. Some excellent quality GF Florentines would go down well with most people here too.

Great pit stop for the early morning active person and coffee with the best view in Brisbane. Staff are always super friendly, fantastic service and great coffee. A variety of pastries and delicious goodies makes for a fantastic well earned treat once you’ve walked, run or cycled here. Highly recommend.

I had a great memory with Brendan’s coffee while I lived in South Bank, Brisbane. After jogging in the morning, I loved drinking cup of cappuccino sometimes eating hand made cakes. I highly recommended lemon cheese cake. 😄😄 Remembered nice river view and bright morning sun, kind and stylish person Brendan, top of cappuccino like bread and yummy cakes.

Nestled in the side of the bustling Goodwill Bridge, this cafe arguably has the best views in Brisbane. The staff are the most friendly you’ll find, and the coffee is great. The quality of the view and coffee is also the cause of the cafe’s only weakness: it gets extremely busy, and it’s not uncommon to have to wait 15 minutes for a coffee. The wait time is absolutely worth it if you’re looking for a relaxing morning of fresh air, but for cyclists like me who want to stop halfway through their ride for a chat, caffeine, and a rest, and then get back on the bike, I find the wait time painfully long. It’s nonetheless still my favourite spot - I’m just being picky. This is such a great place, I’d like to see them extend their hours into the early evening - often on my commute home I’d love to stop and watch the sunset with a drink, but this place is always closed.

If you find yourself feeling a bit low, take a gentle walk across the Goodwill Bridge on a windless gorgeous Brisbane day, and stop @ Brendan's Cafe for a coffee and a treat. This place is a wonderful tonic for the soul, and their excellent customer service is as wonderful as the stunning views. I guarantee you will be back with friends in tow! This place is special and very unique.
