About Espresso Train Cafe and Catering

Perched directly opposite Nundah station, this long-running social enterprise dishes out hearty morning staples with purpose. Commuters drop in for double espressos and quick bacon-and-egg rolls before boarding, while morning regulars linger over plates of Turkish-bread eggs benedict and richly spiced shakshuka. Local honey sits on the shelves alongside homemade cookies, and the kitchen slices Reuben sandwiches right as suburban trains rattle past.

  • Station-Front Perch: Diners gather on the doorstep of Nundah railway station, grabbing takeaway flat whites or watching trains roll past outside tables.
  • Purpose-Driven Kitchen: Operating as a community-driven social enterprise, the kitchen sources from local producers and backs neighborhood makers.
  • Hearty Breakfast & Lunch: Morning crowds tuck into house eggs benny on crunchy Turkish bread alongside Reuben sandwiches and savory toasties.

  • Social Enterprise Dedicated to Community Cause

    Operating as a long-standing social enterprise, dining here actively reinvests in community initiatives and champions regional small-business producers.

    I love supporting the local social enterprise and finding out what else is going on in the community.

  • Direct Support for Regional Small Businesses

    The cafe fosters a mutually supportive circular economy by stocking regional goods on shelves and sourcing directly from local makers.

    They support the community, other small businesses, they buy local and we eat there and support them. It is the perfect loop.

  • Train-Watching Setting Beside the Tracks

    Outdoor seating by the railway offers a relaxed vantage point where visitors and transit fans can sip drinks while watching trains pass by.

    As a rail fan, it was an added bonus to watch the Trains go by.

  • Eggs benny

    I had the eggs benny today and honestly these were one of the best I've tried, just the right amount of hollandaise souce, perfect poached eggs and crunchy fresh turkish bread.

    I come here literally after waking up before getting to work and I love getting my early morning Bacon and egg sandwich with a double espresso.
