Alcove Cafe

Alcove is one of the greats. I wish there was more ways I could mark this place as top tier. The food is varied, right, delightful and just the quintessential Australian breakfast. They use traditional recipes cooked to perfection with lovely decor and flair. The service is so warm and energising. The servers are happy, pleasant and make you feel like you’re their best friend. Even when it’s chockablock busy, this place will get your food out promptly. You won’t be left waiting too long. But just long enough that you know all of this was prepared fresh.

My friend and I had a delicious breakfast here in a perfect outdoor setting. The service was efficient and friendly from start to finish, even though they were very busy. The meals arrived soon after ordering through the easy contactless QR code on the table, which is a great option to avoid having to go to the counter. The meals were beautifully presented, very fresh, plentiful and full of flavours. The coffee is from the Venezianio roastery in West End and was expertly made and smooth and creamy. The seating is all outdoors, covered and being on a corner it catches the breezes. This is a fabulous spot for a catch up with friends for breakfast or brunch.

This place was fantastic, I was instantly greeted and sat at a table which I loved, immediately told where the water was and how to order, loved that. The staff were just so friendly and welcoming. Food was even better, I ordered the alcove breakfast and it was well worth the price, beans were the highlight for me and the eggs were poached to perfection. The coffee was also great. Awesome experience overall, great start to my day, would definitely come back.

Awesome friendly staff, seated straight away by a really lovely staff member. Ordering was easy and quick. The pancakes and the pulled pork benny on a croissant were incredible, absolutely amazing flavours for both of them. The fire and ice was really interesting to have their cold brew and a flat white side by side. Can't wait to come back and try more items!

Absolutely amazing!!!! The service is the best I’ve ever experienced, they are so happy and bubbly and make you feel good about your day even before your coffee. The almond croissants are to die for and their coffee is delicious. We’ve been a number of times and they are consistently fantastic. This morning I placed an online order but forgot to add some coffees but they got them out to me in a flash. 10/10 service!!!

Went to Alcove Cafe and Deli this morning for a meeting. From the very moment I hit the footpath outside this little hideaway it screams out to you to come on in and step back in time. Yes as you take that few steps it was like going back into real service. The ambiance is rustic from the mix matched timbers on the wall to the use of mix matched windows acting as a feature not to add the chunky timber furniture for the comfort of clientele. The staff.... well I was greeted with a friendly welcoming from the young man and the young lady who were running their butts off but didn't hesitate to stop and attend to my needs. Food was so eye appealing that I was really full just looking at it,it looked like eggs Benedict with bacon and sourdough. Excellent job chef..from a ex chef of 50 years. If you are ever in this little neck of the woods try Alcove Cafe and Deli Believe me you'll wander why you hadn't prior. Excellent job everyone

This cafe was the first option that came up when I searched for “best breakfast Brisbane north” and I totally see why. The food is incredible, the staff were super lovely from start to finish and the atmosphere is nice. The gentleman who seated us was sooo welcoming and the waitress from New Zealand was an absolute sweetheart. 5/5 star experience, we’ll be back for sure! 😊✨
