About Pavement Takeaway

Tucked inside a Capalaba industrial park, Pavement Takeaway trades greasy-spoon shortcuts for house-made cooking and proper espresso. Regulars duck in for morning coffees and loaded egg rolls before the work shift begins. Operating Monday through Friday, the counter moves briskly—serving up hearty wraps, crisp schnitzel burgers, and comforting hot boxes alongside unexpected bowls of Tom Yum. Pull up a stool while waiting out a nearby car service or grab a hot roast pork roll smothered in gravy.

  • Weekday Workday Schedule: Operates Monday through Friday to serve local trades and morning commuters with prompt takeaway orders.
  • Beyond Standard Takeaway: Spans full breakfasts, oversized wraps, roast pork rolls, and scratch-made specialties like Tom Yum soup.

    The kitchen spans counter takeaway classics alongside broader international selections like teriyaki chicken, rice bowls, and Tom Yum soup.

  • Convenient Haven During Local Vehicle Servicing

    Positioned in Capalaba's industrial precinct, the cafe offers a convenient stop to dine comfortably while nearby automotive shops service vehicles.

    Called in here with my sister while we waited for her car to be serviced nearby. Had a delicious late breakfast and coffee.

  • Built for the Local Industrial Workweek

    Operating around the standard industrial workweek, it serves as a tailored morning and midday hub for area trades and work crews.

    The staff are the best so freindly, the food is great quality and the coffee is exceptional, great one stop shop for breaky or lunch! Especially if you work in capalaba!

  • Crowd-Pleasing Catering and Dietary-Accommodating Platters

    The team creates grazing boxes and event platters with direct accommodation for workplace dietary needs.

    We used Pavement Takeaway for their catering / grazing boxes for an event and everyone raved about how delish the food was. The team went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed, and accommodated for dietary requirements.

  • Thoughtful Hospitality for Families and Groups

    Attentive counter service makes hosting family members and small groups simple, including thoughtful touches for kids.

    They catered to my kids and made them sandwiches they’d eat (crust off and everything) without even asking! Great good, great coffee and lovely service :)

  • Full Breakfast

    I ordered the full breakfast and honestly, it has to be one of the best brekkies I’ve had in Brisbane. Every part of it was cooked perfectly and I cleaned my plate, which says it all!
