About Corner Store Cafe

Toowong locals start their mornings among leafy vegetable patches and flowering garden beds at Corner Store Cafe. Longtime regulars treat the outdoor tables as a weekly ritual—pulling up early for expertly pulled double-shot lattes and all-day plates. The kitchen skips standard cafe predictability for bold moves like breakfast beef enchiladas, chorizo chilli scramble tacos, and house-made chilli paste layered over scrambled eggs. Things fill quickly past eight, but the garden stays breezy under the misting fans with fresh mango matcha and hot filtered brews.

  • Veggie Garden Dining: Outdoor tables overlook sprawling kitchen garden beds, flowering plants, and stone plant markers.
  • Inventive Morning Fare: Standouts range from breakfast beef enchiladas to scrambled eggs with signature chilli paste.
  • Specialty Brews: High-volume morning service delivers dialed-in double shots and balanced iced matchas without the rush.

    Guests dine alongside flourishing vegetable beds, flowering plants, and natural greenery with plenty of light and open airflow.

    Awesome garden beds with names of plants on rocks. Didnt see kids the whole time except when they ate their lunch and ran off again. Its like a cafe with a natural playground!
