About Felix For Goodness

Brisbane regulars slip down Burnett Lane to duck Queen Street bustle for plates that sidestep standard cafe clichés. Operating behind exposed brick and vintage pipework, the kitchen leans into vegetable-forward cooking with real backbone. Crowd favorites center on Moroccan spice lentils, crisp couscous arancini, and avocado toast layered with house kimchi. Coffee orders skew toward a dialled-in magic before the tables fill.

  • Plant-Forward, Punchy Menu: Inventive vegetarian and dietary-friendly dishes take center stage, spanning Moroccan spice lentils, couscous arancini, and chili-accented avocado toast.
  • Secluded Laneway Character: Tucked into Burnett Lane with exposed brickwork and heritage metal pipes, creating a relaxed hideaway in the middle of the CBD.
  • Dialled-In Coffee & Service: Consistently sharp espresso extraction paired with welcoming, prompt counter staff keeps the morning rush moving seamlessly.
