Morning After Cafe Reviews

I'm a fan, while the service isn't fast, they have tasty food and a nice atmosphere

Great customer service by Kristian. Super delicious coffee (pour over &patch brew) and breakfast. We loved the hotcake and the potato rosti. It reminds us with the coffee, breakfast, and customers service quality in Melbourne. Thanks!

tried this on 2 separate occasions! the dishes were creative and delicious but slightly overpriced for the portion! very very crowded as well - service was not too good when i went the first time but much better the second time :-)

parking can be difficult near here, especially on weekends!

edit (02/05/2019):

visited again to try the autumn menu - service was better this time, the ladies who served us were very delightful! :-) unfortunately the food wasn t fantastic this time and the crab omelette wasn t impressive at all, tasted under seasoned and the crab was bland.

Amazing food, staff are professional and always greet you with a smile.

Looks can be deceiving......Awesome fit out but coffee and food left something to be desired. Sunday brunch as a party of four. We tried all the coffee (espresso, pour over, latte) and while the audience was tough (a professional coffee roaster included) even I (an occasional coffee drinker) thought it didn't quite meet the mark. Brunch was a mixed bag. The carbonara was a delicious and perfectly balanced dish while the Boston beans were dry and lacking flavour, the skin on the pork belly was chewy and the polenta a little greasy.

We liked the look of the place a lot, but the hard surfaces left the acoustics very harsh and loud enough that you will struggle to hear the conversation and the wait staff will struggle to hear you.

Loved the food here! Jordan was beautiful. She made the experience 110 percent better! Busy place with good service. Will be back!

Delicious weekend breakfast spot. The corn fritters were amazing! So much more on the menu to try.

Staff is incrediblely friendly and welcoming, the food is delicious coffee is great and they have an amazing selection of cakes! Definitely one of the best cafes in Brisbane, highly recommend!

Fantastic coffee and very friendly service! #lunchinglovelies

Nice place to just chill and enjoy the morning. I had waffles! The meringue bits were a tad too sweet for me, i didn't eat them at all. Everything else was quite balanced. The coffee was smooth and good too.

Service was great and very helpful, lovely servers and a lovely environment to be in.

Coffee was okay, but the iced latte was a little bitter.

The avocado dish was a little disappointing. The hummus was delicious on its own but an odd choice to add to it as overall it tasted very bland.

The burger was amazing, although the chips were burnt.

Overall it was a good experience, good servers, and okay food and coffee.

The food here...amazing. Service excellent! First visit here and it definitely won't be the last. Don't forget to try it! Have a great day

Love this place. Fast service, amazing food and great coffee. Have to book in advance tho because gets super busy (tells you how popular the place is).

Great little place, clean, neat layout. Service is on point , food was quite quick. The Ethiopian coffee blend was full flavour. Loved every drop.

The Thai mince was delicious, could use a touch of corriander to spice it up.

The Turkish egg was nice however the eggplant was more of a baba ganoush style. Which was a little of a let down. I was expecting spicy with the chilli on the menu but no kick what's so ever.
Flavours were still nice just a couple let downs.

The food was well presented but a tad on the pricy side.

The staff was very friendly. It was very busy. The staff helped us to change the seats when the bigger table was avaliable. Also, it allows us to pay separately. The coffee and meals were very nice.

Totally gorgeous carbonara on their breakfast menu. Perfectly cooked in all aspects!

Awesome food every time. Great service - friendly and fast. Coffee is delicious and amazing eggs

Good service, good ambient and beautiful food but unfortunately (literally) drowning in oil and salt...

Delicious food and great service, staff were very attentive and the menu was creative and interesting. I have been wanting to have breakfast here for some time and it certainly did not disappoint. We will be coming back again. Well done Morning after

My FAVOURITE Breakfast spot in West End! Love the flexibility of being able to choose from a variety of coffee roasts, depending on how I'm feeling on the day. Couple the coffee with something from their amazing sweets display, and you're in for a good morning after, not matter what happened the night before. Five Stars to Yianni and his team.

Great coffee at this place, I just go back for the coffee. Service is very good but I don't find the food anything special. The place gets super busy and if you sit inside it gets very noisy to the point that you need to shout. If you go on the weekend and have a group of 5 or more, you will have to wait for a table for at least 30 minutes. Downfall of this place is the lack of parking, make sure you allow yourself at least 20 minutes to find a park on the weekend.

Very busy on a Saturday morning. Wait wasn't overally too long after ordering. But there were no teaspoons??

Great service and amazing food. Portion size is quite large and definitely worth it!

I have been waiting to come here for a long time. Definitely worth the wait. The food was amazing and the staff were great!

Amazing food, amazing service, innovative and fresh

Interesting food, decent (and again interesting) coffee. Too much of a sterile feel for West End.

The vibe of this cafe is soothing, welcoming and good for a simple weekend date. Their coffee and food is amazing with a wide variety of selection. In the picture is a squid ink pasta and a pork belly which is highly recommended and one of their best sellers. Coffee is a one + one with a house blend Espresso. Rich in flavours.

I LOVE this cafe! Every time I visit Brisbane I can't help but sneak in for a coffee at least.
Have come for both breaky and lunch and the food is always perfect.
Great selection of coffee - never disappointed.
Staff are attentive and knowledgable.
Only downer is,due to all the polished concrete, its a bit noisy - but you could call it "atmosphere" :)

Coffee was average, food took forever to come, staff had a trashy attitude, all together, wouldn t return.

Delicious breakfast spot in West End - beautiful interior design, great food, excellent friendly and considerately attentive service - only negative was it was extremely noisy with bad acoustics :-( chilli scrambled eggs with tempura prawns and lemon aioli was extremely good!!! Vanilla French toast also really good!! They are also licensed so a cheeky Sparkling wine on the weekend is a must!

Genuinally thought this place was going to be over rated but I was SO wrong. Best Oat Cap I've had so far in West End I had the rosti with smoked salmon and it was amazing 100% recommend. We did have to squeeze 4 on a tiny table where we couldn't fit our coffee cups and food plates, and the dining time was only an hour which we agreed to on booking but it wasn't long enough!! Thank you!

Excellent meals with above and beyond service even when busy. Would recommend this place to anyone. May need to wait in line during buay times

Delicious food, disappointing service. Hopefully next they ll up their game.

The food and price are ok as I was very full after a dish of burger and chips. The coffee is about the average while what makes me not really comfortable was that the customer service was a bit too much. Before the order was taken the same staff came for 3 times to ask if we are ready and came for 4 times to clear up the dishes when there was still half of the burger in my plate. Overall a good place with good vibe for taking nice pics.

The carbonara is ridiculously yummy! And the coffee is always on point :)

I've been here a million times now and come back weekly. Its a great place to take friends, family or first (coffee dates).

Staff are super friendly and genuinely enjoy their jobs and the food and coffee there is excellent.

I cant recommend it enough.

A good Italian place to chill at Sunday morning. Food was good and they also had a great ginger beer.

Fantastic food in West End. Service is inconsistent - sometimes fantastic, sometimes poor. It depends on who you meet.
They use fresh ingredients and coffee is always nice!

Very busy place - make a booking in advance. Easy sign in using your phone. Table service during covid restrictions. Delicious food :3

We visited on a Tuesday afternoon, just past 12pm. I ordered the tempura prawn; when my dish arrived, I was curious where the 'angel hair chilli' was, so I asked the greek lady who seemed to be the manager of the day or the boss. She paused for a second then said it was in the chilli that was mixed in my scrambled eggs. Even though that answer seemed like a lie, we continued to finish our meals with pretty disappointing coffee. Barista, she did not seem to care and just texted away WHILE making the coffee.

I was not going to write a review until I saw one of the food blogger's post of the same dish I ordered, which is a TON of clearly visible angel hair chilli on her eggs!!

If you didn't know the answer or you couldn't clearly see that the particular element of missing; I'd much prefer it if you had just told me the truth or fix up the dish rather than blindly lie to my face!

No service whatsoever, bad coffee, mediocre food. Yes trendy furniture, so what? Will not be back.

I'm a regular customer, I came more than 5 times. however, They change the menu and I haven't noticed the pork in the same order which is I usually order. when I ate a little bit, I asked them to change it because I don't eat pork. then they charge me for these two meals even I didn't eat them. I will not come again. The previous menu was the best with the hot cake as well. The new lemon hotcake doesn't taste good as well. the casher wasn't helpful. I ended up paying for 3 meals for 2 people!!

Sat on the bar and was told to move to another seat, when I ask them why, they told me that I was too "big" and getting in the way. What a way to call your customers fat. Why don't you just move the table behind me back a bit?

Relaxing and great atmosphere and perfectly blended coffee. I had the cheeseburger and it was one of if not the best I have had in Brisbane. Must try for burger lovers

Had a wonderful breakfast with a group of work mates on a Monday morning after our night shift. Lovely bright and spacious cafe with outdoor seating. The service was excellent, our coffee and food orders were taken promptly and we were able to all pay separately. Everything on the menu looked delectable, I went for the corn fritters. There was a generous amount of avocado and it was just delicious! Coffee was great too. Would definitely recommend, I will be back!

Great meals for both breakfast (morning) and lunch (after). Great space, dog friendly, good service. Great coffee; barista was super friendly and made outstanding coffee.

Really good food! One of my favorite vegan dishes so far!! I had the Autumn leaf salad, pumpkin, carrots, turmeric hummus, beans, lemon citronette (vg ,gf) and Kale, apple, celery, lemon, mint & ginger juice. Definitely going back!

Very disappointed with my experience here at Morning After.
The place was very busy and the girl at the first counter rudely ushered me to the other counter to be served, without a greeting or even a smile. I paid almost $6 for a soy flat white, brought my own keep cup and received no discounts. The soy milk they use is a generic American brand called 'silk' which is very cheap and contains various dilutes such as apple juice concentrate. Not a very nice coffee, especially for almost $6.
Overall I am disappointed that this is what the cafes of west end have become.

Wow. Brilliant I must say. Gorgeous food brilliant staff. I think he was the owner by the name yany? On a busy day boy do they know how to cook up a fantastic meal. The boy making Bloody Mary s is bloody good.

Great spot for breakfast with friendly service to boot

Good place for brunch and coffee. Staffs are helpful. Our two dishes were both salty but just a little bit and just my taste!

Amazing flavours, good portions. Great option for weekend brunches in Brisbane!

Lovely croquets and great coffee. Family friendly with high chairs. No children s menu though options on the adult menu. Staff very friendly

Food and service was good. Prices were up tgere but not excessive.

Had an absolutely wonderful experience here. Cute restaurant, great service, good location, AMAZING food.

The menu here is amazing and they have certainly made it hard to decide what to eat.

I ordered the mushroom and leek croquettes and it lived up to its expectations. To top it off, despite being busy, the service was great.

Will definitely be back.

Deliciousness!!

Its always a unique experience and is the best breakfast in SEQld!!

Definitely the place to go the morning after... cool vibe and great menu! Food was tasty and packed with flavour. If you enjoy coffee, this cafe has some awesome options. Service staff are good. But does feel rushed in peak times.

Always driven past and thought the place looked good. Stopped this morning for 2 takeaway flat whites. What a mistake. It was the worse coffee my friend and myself have ever had. Couldn't really call it coffee, it was mainly milk and tasted revolting- both went straight in the bin. Disappointing and never again!

Had to go to the Morning After the night we had for breakfast. Second time in about 6 months and just like last time it was packed, recommend a booking due to the popularity of the place. Ordered the Carbonara and Corn fritters with Pineapple, Ginger Juice.
THE GOOD
- Corn fritters were really good and can't recommend them enough
- Juice was great, a touch too much ginger and ice but a nice refreshing drink overall
- Service was good and considerate
- Very good ambience

THE BAD
- Carbonara was bland in all way shape and form and lacked any sort of appeal apart from the description on the menu. Needs to have some flavour, maybe offering some Parmesan on the side and extra few bits of bacon could do the trick . I now see why the Italians are offended.

FINALE
One of the few places that have a few exciting things on the menu so will definitely go there and recommend it to anyone looking for variety and a good breakfast spot. Make a booking though.

Morning After had excellent reviews and good service, classic prices for a Cafe like this but be prepared for a significantly priced breakfast or lunch before heading here

Bustling hipster crowd. Seemed lively and the coffee was good too.

Wonderful menu, was very hard to choose what to get but everyone really loved there meals. Pictured is the croquettes.

Really good food, noisy but relaxed atmosphere. Overall I'd recommend this place for catching up with friends over a nice brunch.

Morning After is hands down one of the best cafes in Brisbane. The coffee is always delicious and smooth even on soy which can be a hard feat. I go there so often that I have almost tried everything on their menu, I am in love with the MaMuffin, so ecstatic that you can get it at any time of the day. Friendly and helpful staff make each experience enjoyable. I have recommended Morning After to so many friends and family and have never heard any complaints from them either. Would recommend Morning After as a must do in Brisbane.

Absolutely delicious creative food! Really really kind wonderful staff, particularly the lovely lady with black curly hair & a nose ring (didn t catch her name!). Totally recommend

Exceptional breakfast, super knowledgeable on coffee with rotating, seasonal beans

Great coffee and fun taken on brunch options. Clean and crisp atmosphere

I had the Broccoli Bowl was very tasty and nutritious. We had to line up to be seated but the staff were very efficient and we were served promptly and our food arrived in a decent amount of time even though they were very busy. I only gave it 4 stars because it was quite over priced unfortunately.

I had the breakfast bowl, the meal was prompty served, generous serving & tasted delicious!! Will be coming here again soon.

My favourite in West End..
Friendly and consistently good coffee

We had an amazing breakfast...pasta for breakfast! SOOOO yummy.

Beautiful food, gracious and really helpful staff who were welcoming and invested in your experience =] had a ball

Hip place
Super friendly staff
Interesting menu options especially the coffee menu
We went on Saturday morning and waited for 45 minutes to get our food
Food presentation was great
The taste was 4 rather than 5 stars

Morning after is doing something out of the ordinary. We come here once a month on Saturday. The place has ques and everyone is waiting to get the amazing food. What a great vibe. Occasionally waits to get in and for food but when doing 400 people which the owner told me he does each day over the week end i was like wow. Keep up the good work and being inovating. Peace & love MS.

Great coffee, a little pricey. But I'd give it to their concept and good quality

I have had the pleasure of eating at Morning After on a few occasions now and the experience has been top notch. Great menu selection and execution of it, best coffee in Brisbane hands down, great friendly service and a beautifully styled space. Highly recommend Morning After.

Worst service ever. Another restaurant where the owner puts his PROFITS first over its customers. Waited nearly an hour and gave our table away to some one else just because they had more people than us.

So what if their food is good? When you don't even get a chance to eat it. If I can give 0 stars I would.
