This area is a combination of cheap houses, factories, warehouses and unique cafes, bars and other venues that really surprise.

If you want to do some suburban exploring head to the Monte Lupo Gallery and Cafe just for the place. You are surrounded by artwork (mostly ceramics), with an outdoor area to relax in as well.

I popped in here for the Bowls with Soup night, where they were serving delicious soup in lovely bowls.

Great coffee in north Brisbane! Come here as its close to one of my workshops and never had an issue!

Approximate cost: $5

Fantastic cafe. Great coffee and really affordable home made style food. Relaxed feel and surrounded by unique ceramic art. Also conveniently located next to a laundromat.
