Book NowAbout Priorities
Priorities pairs serious specialty espresso with an uncluttered, Tokyo-leaning design right along Samford Road. The daytime routine moves around dialed-in batch brew from Industry Beans and textured cold foam, pulled behind a clean counter free of hot-kitchen clutter. Locals gather on the lawn while dogs stay hitched to dedicated leash clips by the water bowls, with an outdoor chess board ready on the table. The cabinet keeps things simple—flaky croissants and savory muffins loaded with sundried tomato, bacon, and melted cheese before the trays clear out. Come late afternoon, the room pivots into an easygoing neighborhood wine bar pouring chilled spritzes and rotating bottles alongside small plates.
- Minimalist Aesthetic: Uncluttered, bright room pairing minimalist lines and curated playlists with a dedicated focus on espresso.
- Dialed-In Brews: Industry Beans batch brews, single-origin roasts, and iced drinks capped with rich cold foam.
- Cabinet Bakes: Savory bacon, cheese, and sundried tomato muffins alongside fresh pastries from the front cabinet.
- Dog-Friendly Lawn: Outdoor lawn seating equipped with pet leash clips, water bowls, and a casual chess table.
- Wine Bar Hours: Afternoon and evening sessions featuring spritzes, rotating wines, and casual small plates.

Why Visit Priorities
Discover why locals rely on Priorities from morning espresso to evening wine.
Meticulously Crafted Specialty Coffee & Fresh Pastries
Industry roasters and rotating single origins are brewed with precision, pairing seamlessly with fresh artisanal pastries and savory cabinet items.
The coffee is great, rich and full of flavour, clearly made with care. I also tried one of their pastries, and it was fresh and delicious, the ideal complement to my cup of coffee.
Rere Smith Curated Cabinet Bakes and Quick Bites
A focused cabinet selection emphasizes quality baked goods and treats without needing greasy hot kitchen cooking.
The food options are limited to a selection of pastries and cookies but rest assured they’re all very tasty.
Maddy Clancy A Connected Neighborhood Gathering Place
Warm hospitality and familiar interactions foster an uplifting, neighborly atmosphere where locals easily connect.
The way Rhi greets the regulars and everyone knows each other is so wholesome. Playlist was on point too, so chill. Well done on cultivating such a beautiful, neighbourly and friendly vibe.
Jess Buttigieg Dog-Friendly Lawn for Relaxed Gatherings
Dedicated outdoor grass space featuring pet amenities allows neighbors to comfortably socialize with dogs and kids in tow.
Beautiful space, lovely staff, the grassed area out the front is great for enjoying your coffee with your dog or kids.
Serena Mou Day-to-Evening Transition into a Wine Bar
Later in the week and on weekends, the espresso nook naturally morphs into a laid-back bar offering curated wines, spritzes, and small plates.
Couple lovely coffee and pastries in the morning with the perfect wine and small plates in the evening and that makes Priorities my dream spot!
Tyler Hood Laid-Back Afternoon PM Drink Sessions
Fortnightly and weekend afternoon wine sessions provide a seamless local setting for casual catchups and post-work wind-downs.

Before you head over
Helpful tips on food availability, dog amenities, and menu style before you visit
Arrive early for pastry selection
Pastries and counter snacks can sell down quickly on busy weekend mornings, so arrive early if you want the fullest choice of baked goods.
Expect a light cabinet-only food menu
Food is focused on cabinet pastries and baked snacks rather than hot cooked breakfast dishes, and items are served as-is without microwave reheating.
Settle on the outdoor lawn with dogs
If visiting with a dog, take advantage of the outdoor lawn with pet tie clips and water bowls rather than crowding inside the compact interior.
