The coffee and cafe scene in Brisbane some think, starts and ends around New Farm and the Valley. Those trendy areas are full of the young and [ think they are] beautiful. Good for observations, but are the areas all that good for coffee?
There is good coffee in Brisbane, with di Bella coffee a stand out producer of an excellent range of coffee blends, and their products are used around the area as well as at their own site in Bowen Hills, on Abbottsford Road. Even have a drive through coffee bar.
But most have a desire to sit down for a coffee.
Try an easier location with a visit to Pompidou in Balmoral. Relatively easy parking on a side street, around the corner from their location at 236 Riding Road. A great di Bella coffee blend, and a well produced cup of coffee. And pleasant staff.
The site has been there as a coffee shop for a while under a prior name and owner, with the new owners operational now for several months. The changes are not monumental, but evolutionary, with a subtle but welcome change of menu and coffee brewing.
Try the place if out on the southside of Brisbane - Norman Park, Balmoral, Murrarie, Bulimba all are close by.
They do a great well priced range of breakfasts, and the eggs benedict are excellent!
