We were visiting our son in Brisbane and staying in the cbd. I googled breakfast places and I’m so impressed! The food (avo toast and salmon in sourdough) was delicious. My matcha latte was excellent- not sweet at all. Service was excellent and I highly recommend Strauss.

Such a warm & cozy little cafe that’s tucked away in a little alcove, off the proverbial beaten path. Unpretentious and charming, the small but well considered menu is proof that it’s the quality and not the quantity that counts.
