Newsroom Cafe - Brisbane

I visited a busy café today, but there were only two employees working. It took a while to get my coffee and creamy bagel. The coffee was good, as expected from Merlo. However, the cream cheese bagel was nothing special.

This cafe is a key part of my Sunday morning routine. I always come here for my post-gym coffee and breakfast. I have absolutely no complaints about the coffee (from Merlo) - it is consistently strong, tasty, and reasonably priced. I have tried various items on their menu, but the smashed avocado is my absolute favorite. It is my go-to dish. However, on a recent visit, I asked for poached eggs with my smashed avocado, but was told it was not possible as they only serve it with scrambled eggs. This made me question whether their eggs are freshly made to order or pre-cooked and kept warm until they run out. Despite this issue, I still enjoy coming to this cafe. The French toast was a bit disappointing for the price, as it was simply thick cut bread with cheap vanilla ice cream and fruit in syrup. They could improve by using higher quality bread for their French toast. The cafe has indoor and outdoor seating, but the inside could use some sprucing up with new furniture and a fresh coat of paint. Overall, I recommend sticking to fresh items on the menu. Despite some issues, this cafe is a nice spot for coffee, brunch, and baked goods with generous portion sizes (though slightly pricey). It can get busy during breakfast and brunch times, but they offer a variety of food and drink options, including options for vegetarians and those on gluten-free diets. Service is usually quick and the staff are generally friendly and helpful.

Amazing breakfast of all time definitely comeback , staff is so friendly and nice , food and coffee come on time even they are so busy .....

We saw good rating and tried lunch on Saturday. Ordered omelette, chorazio, croissant and steak burger. The coffee was ok. The food was badly prepared. Most of them were burned and black. The steak was very chewy. The bread was tasteless. Will never come again.

Newsroom is only popular due to location and lack of competition. Do yourself a favour and go to the cafe next door where they better understand customer service and quality food. Customer service was horrendous and food not worth the price; badly presented food, out of date menu and bad coffee.
