Monocle Coffee - Morningside, Queensland

A charming cafe offering a delightful blend of indoor and outdoor seating. The coffee was quite enjoyable, and the outdoor ambiance added to the experience - it was quite peaceful. It's worth noting that they source their pastries from Darvella, if my memory serves me correctly.

Came to Monocle Coffee bright and early on a Saturday morning, and enjoyed our time here!

So many freshly baked goods to choose from; a whole array of pastries, pies, cakes, donuts, salads (list goes on)! We got an almond croissant and ham and cheese croissant and really enjoyed them. Unfortunately our coffees tasted really weak, as if they were half-strength... but we weren’t put off too much by it. The vibe of the cafe really made our visit enjoyable, it’s in a great quiet spot but always busy and vibrant. Limited seating inside, but we definitely didn’t mind sitting outside!

Only real negative we had was the service. We arrived and weren’t sure whether we needed to wait to be seated, scan a QR code etc, so we waited at the door. After a few staff members looked at us, and looked away, we just gathered we accommodate our own seats. Would have loved to be greeted, or even just smiled at. Regardless, had a great morning here and would recommend to others!

Great coffee and range of pastries/cakes. Thank you for my mini-lesson in milk texture/latte art.

A spontaneous visit to Monocle Coffee and we were quite happy with the whole experience.

Drink wise, we ordered a skinny cappuccino and an iced soy latte. I loved my cappuccino, simple but tasty. The iced latte was refreshing and the soy taste was lingering but not overpowering.

Food wise, we both grabbed their Brekky Burger with halloumi. The dishes were brought out fairly quickly and the aroma from freshly made burgers was already making our mouths watery. We really loved the bun but couldn’t put a finger to the type of bread roll they used. It was chewy on the outside but soft on the inside. The tomato relish on top was quite delicious and provided a tangy flavor that mutualized the grease from the fried egg and halloumi. The Spanish leaves sitting at the bottom was a really nice touch. It was not only easy on the eye but also threw in some freshness into the whole dish. In general, it was a really enjoyable and tasty burger and would come back for more any time. On the plus side, they had a whole cabinet dedicated to pastries and treats, which looked really tempting.

For the service, we thought the staff were nice friendly and attentive. And the speed at which they served us our coffees and dishes was amazing. The cafe wasn’t busy when we visited but none of the staff were slacking but rather organized.

There were other items on their menu that were worth a try, like their croissant Benny and we would love to go back again and give it a go. All in all, it was a really pleasant experience and would go back again sometime.

This little coffeeshop was a great discovery: it wasn’t too busy on a Saturday at 10.15am, we managed to get a table easily. Coffees did not take long to arrive, and there were pastries (donuts, plain and almond croissants, etc.) available to buy.
Tables are quite small however, ideal for 2 inside, and 4 outside, and space doesn’t allow too much privacy in your conversation. But regardless, would come back!

Great little coffee joint nestled in the suburbs. Very nice modern fitout which serves great coffee. I love having the option to order a cold brew, single origin or a V60 without leaving Morningside. Basic food options, with some amazing salad options. Yet to try the salads but they look fantastic.

Cute little coffee shop with good coffee and beautiful pastries. Had a nice little brunch here and was and was impressed by the friendly service. Not too busy and the coffee came out quickly which is an important factor after a long night! Recommended.
