Gertrude & Mabel

A small charming cafe in Woolloongabba. Service was prompt and lovely. I love their breakfast menu because there is variety and I'm tired of having the same and usual breakfast options with cafes. We had Croque Madam and KFC for breakfast and it was yum. The croque was a little too greasy for me though but it's still good.

One of my fave places for food in Brisbane!!! Great service & flavoursome food. Have been for dinner, breakfast & lunch & have loved all 3 experiences. Sure it's a little more expensive, but you are getting great quality food. I've read reviews where people said the service wasn't good, & I've never had a problem on all occasions we've dined here. The staff are just beautiful 👌

TLDR: stunning cafe food, great ambience, bad coffee :( Let's just start with the bad because this place is generally so good! The coffee. The bitter notes carry from first sip to last. Unfortunate. Now for the great. First we were warmly greeted at the door, and for a party of 8 plus 4 kids that is no small thing. The decor is elegant, with a great jazz vibe. With such a big group we were accommodated in the pastry kitchen (!) upstairs. The food was excellent. My wife ordered the Pork Belly with chipotle bread special of the day. Fantastic - and the addition of the spiced bread was welcome. The kids shared the buttermilk pancake and while they found the Pineapple not to their like (hey, they are kids) the pancake was a delight - perfectly light and cakey with crisp edges. But perhaps the best plate of our morning was the rolled mushroom omellete containing a triple brie river wrapped in the middle, and wonderful notes of truffle layered throughout. Very few times have I had to pause after every bite, looking off into the distance self-reflectively like an idiot because the dish before me is so good. Well done Pearl Cafe, well done. We shall be back!

This place had some good recommendations but was a very big Fail!! Took over 40mins for breakie when it did come it was no what we expected very bland !! Save yourself the trouble and make eggs and bacon at home! 2 bits of bread butter and a slice of ham over $20 the bacon was a add on! So $16 for 2 eggs a cube of butter and 2 bits of bread. That chef or so called cook need to be replaced!! And update the menu!
