About La Grava

Tucked into Sherwood Road, this cozy daytime cafe flips Wednesday through Sunday into an authentic Thai dining room. Morning regulars rely on hearty brekkie burgers and triple-shot lattes, but evening brings out fragrant bowls of green chicken curry, tender slow-cooked beef massaman, and flaky roti. Cap off the night with shaved milk ice mango bingsoo.

  • Cafe by Day, Thai by Night: Transitions from daytime breakfast spot to an evening kitchen serving authentic green curries and duck pad Thai.
  • Shaved Ice Bingsoo: Korean shaved milk ice topped with fresh mango pieces, strawberries, or caramel.
  • Triple-Shot Coffee & Hearty Brekkie: Hearty morning plates like hash burgers alongside standard three-shot large espresso orders.

Why Choose La Grava

From artisanal breakfast and triple-shot morning coffee to authentic Thai dinners and shaved milk ice bingsoo, discover why guests love La Grava.

  • Authentic Evening Thai Transformation

    Evenings transform the daytime cafe into a dedicated kitchen serving rich, aromatic curries, tender meats, and balanced stir-fries.

    In the daytime it’s a great little cafe with a nice menu and really amazing baked goods but a few nights a week, it turns into one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve ever eaten at.

  • Hearty Cafe Fare and Bold Coffee

    Mornings offer well-crafted breakfast staples paired with robust, specialty espresso extractions.

    Loved their breakfast options and their strong coffee. The smashed avocado toastie, hash browns and eggs breakfast was on point.

  • Suburban Hidden Gem Atmosphere

    Diners are delighted to uncover standout culinary quality tucked within an intimate suburban venue.

    This place is a hidden gem in Brisbane—most Asian food around here is just okay, but this one truly stands out.

  • Specialty Fluffy Bingsoo Desserts

    The dessert menu features specialty Korean shaved milk ice crafted with ultra-fine textures and fresh toppings.

    Additionally, La Grava has started doing Bingsoo (a korean shaved milk ice dessert). We came here with our Son on a separate occasion just to try and can confirm that they are delicious.

Before you head over

Key planning advice for day and evening dining at La Grava

  • Timing for Thai Dinner

    Thai dining service is available Wednesday through Sunday evenings, while daytime hours operate solely as a cafe.

  • Ordering Large Coffees

    Large coffee beverages are pulled with three espresso shots by default, so specify fewer shots if you prefer a milder drink.

  • Ordering Bingsoo Dessert

    Leave sufficient room when having dinner, as the specialty Korean shaved milk ice bingsoo portions are generous and ideal for sharing.
