About 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

    There’s always a great atmosphere and the fortnightly PM session is always a treat if wine, cocktails or spritz's are your thing

Thoughtful touches and unexpected details that elevate your visit to Priorities

  • Outdoor Table Chess Set

    Outdoor spaces are outfitted with steel leash clips adjacent to fresh water bowls so visitors can settle comfortably with their dogs.

  • Fortnightly PM Wine and Spritz Sessions

    Rather than closing in the afternoon, the venue hosts regular afternoon-to-evening sessions serving curated wines, spritzes, and small plates.

    The cafe keeps bags of whole bean coffee available for retail purchase directly from quality roasters like Industry Beans and Double Double.

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.
