About Little Clive Cafe

Little Clive Cafe pairs relaxed Australian brunch essentials with hearty Vietnamese classics off Ipswich Road. The dining room runs on zero snob factor—just big tables filled with casual weekend crews, families with prams, and regulars lingering over smooth flat whites. Regulars point straight to the crispy pork bánh mì loaded into crusty rolls, though the kitchen turns out spicy bún bò Huế and thick-cut French toast with equal care. A condensed-milk iced coffee rounds out the table without any rush to leave.

  • Vietnamese-Australian Menu: Traditional Australian cafe fare shares space with Vietnamese staples like crispy pork bánh mì and bún bò Huế.
  • Laid-Back Setting: A casual verandah and open dining room warmly welcome large family tables, kids, and dogs without pretense.
  • Dedicated On-Site Parking: Dedicated customer parking right off Ipswich Road makes morning coffee runs and weekend sit-downs effortless.
