Rise And Shine: These Are BNE’s Best Brunches
Easy like Sunday morning
A good weekend starts with two things: a sleep-in and a bite at one of Brisbane’s best brunch spots.
Whether you’ve got a sweet tooth that craves pancakes and waffles, can’t pass up on avo on toast, or feel like gettin’ spicy with a burger alongside your brew, Brisbane sure knows how to turn it on for our favourite meal between breakfast and lunch.
And hey, if you’re up with the sun and need a feed, Brisbane’s best breakfast spots are pretty darn tasty too. Either way, your first meal of the day is gonna be a cracker.
By the way, we consider everyone in this list the best of the best! To make finding your next favourite that much easier, we’ve ordered the list alphabetically by suburb and also have filtering tabs for your convenience. Did we miss someone from the list? Let us know here!
Corn Street Cafe
Ashgrove
Spice up your brunch spread at this suburban cafe with a distinct Latin and Middle Eastern twist! Having just undergone a sleek makeover, Corn Street Cafe welcomes you to dig into brekky favourites honed by their signature touch, like eggs benny on potato-corn croquettes or Turkish Mezze with çilbir (poached egg in garlic labneh), menemen sauce, olives, persian feta, sujuk & house-made flatbread. Here, lunch is served bright and early from 10am with everything from Cheeseburgers to Poke Bowls, or Corn Street’s iconic tacos on hand to have you oh-so satisfied. Thirsty? Not for long, as this rustic hub is fully licensed, meaning you can sip on refreshing cocktails, beers, and wine, as well as barista-made coffee and cold-pressed juice.
