Fourthchild Cafe Restaurant & Lounge Bar

We were looking for something close with yummy food and value for money. This place delivered. Food was great! The variety of seating arrangements is awesome. Outside on the footpath, out back on the verandah, inside near the fireplace or in a smaller room. The place is immaculately clean and well looked after. Amenities are located at the back and also immaculate. One of our waitresses was a hoot! Prompt, polite and with a great sense of humour. I think she's Korean, she's good value! They do an all day breakfast and the desserts look incredible. We were too full to indulge tho. Not to worry tho, we're going back!

Came last weekend and service was mediocre. Long wait times, but gave this another chance because we came without a reservation last time. We reserved for Sunday jazz until 1pm. We arrived at 12:30. Ordered iced mocha, a scone with jam and cream, and Reef and Beef. The scone came quick this time hot and was good, a little dry. Then service just went south. Mocha was spilled all over the glass and couldn't drink without getting coffee all over our hands. The jazz stopped 15 minutes to 1pm. The reef and beef was disappointing. Beef was ok but lukewarm, given 2 scrawny prawns, 2 even smaller scallops, and half of the skinniest bug they could find. Not worth the $45 for that dinner. $60 in total for all of it. Never coming back 😊

Once again we had a great meal in the Ipswich Region. Fourth Child has great food and we saw some of the other menu items that other patrons ordered and was impressed with what we saw. There seems to be a few regular patrons who know the menu of by heart. I had the BLAT and my wife had the seafood chowder in a cob-loaf. Both were great. My wife asked for some butter for the rest of the loaf and it was no problem and the staff were friendly.

Great little brunch spot in the cool Brisbane Street side of Ipswich. Good coffee and brunch menu that's actually tasty. Coming from Sydney, we'd be happy to come here for the occasional brunch. Definitely proof that Ipswich is gentrifying in a good way. Friendly staff and food came out in a timely manner. Outdoor and indoor seating and groups welcome.

Great place to have breakfast/lunch, massive portion sizes and plenty of options for specific dietary requirements. That being said, a friend of mine did order the breakfast burger without bacon as they are a vegetarian and their food arrived with bacon, not a super big deal but just something to be mindful of for intolerances and allergies to double check with waitstaff. All in all a lovely place with plenty to choose from 😊

Sadly disappointed again with service and waiting times...also the owner definitely should stick with just running the business and leave the interaction with customers to his lovely staff...sorry but you don't have a very welcoming personality...firstly we didn't get the table we booked and were put out on the deck which was where we didn't want in the first place...after being seated we ordered and received out drinks in good time, however when it came to our meals it sadly was an hour and a half from the time we placed our orders to actually receiving them...within this time we were never once asked if we wanted anymore drinks or advised as to where our meals had gotten to...finally I had to track down a waitress to ask them the whereabouts of our meals and was told they were 5 minutes away...so after a further 15 minute wait they finally arrived...I gave 2 stars only for the reason that the food was good but guys the speed they are delivered is just as important...it wasn't busy either

It has been more than a year since I have ventured into the Ipswich town centre and visited Fourthchild Cafe. An early appointment saw me back there for breakfast and what a treat it was. They do the best lambs fry and bacon I have ever tasted. It's a five star winner. It's all backed by great serice and a smile.
