Gardenway is a really nice place to go if you're interested in doing some shopping for home/garden products and getting something to eat while you're there. It's mainly a garden centre, but also has a massive shop full of high quality (and priced as such) homewares, and of course the cafe. I found the food at the cafe to be nice enough, not spectacular but nice. The coffee is also nice. The service is excellent, the staff are very friendly. The atmosphere is nice because the cafe is set amongst the plants so you can look around at the plants and whatnot while you eat.

Approximate cost: $15.00

Coffee Club in Paddington is just like any other Coffee Club, the food is very nice and reasonably priced (not brilliant, but not dirt cheap either). I personally like to go to Coffee Club because they have some really healthy options on the menu. The only drawback for me is that I consistently find that if I order coffee in larger sizes, it will be weaker. It's as though they put the same amount of coffee in all sizes and just add more milk. this is fine if you like your coffee weak though (I like it strong so I always order standard size).

Approximate cost: $20.00

This is my favourite place to eat in Brisbane. They do a huge Chai tea served in a bowl! The food is healthy but tasty as well, and the prices are very reasonable. It has a great atmosphere, the eclectic interior has a nice feel to it. There are lots of little nooks to sit in which I really like, it's a great place to meet up with friends for breakfast. It can get quite busy which can make it hard to get seating if you're in a large group, and service can be a tad slow at busy times (as you'd expect).

Approximate cost: $13.00
