Coffee Anthology

I found this place haphazardly and was thoroughly impressed. Staff were generally really friendly.
In terms of a hot soy latte they nailed it. Great temperature and made so well. Really made my first morning in brisbane.
I also ordered the avocado on toast. The breakfast was tasty and made well. It wasn’t something out of the ordinary but the avocado and eggs were cooked extremely well. It also came with confit tomatoes and pesto (hate tomatoes but love pesto!).

Great coffee. amazing friendly service.
consistent.
i even had a complimentary espresso with my flat white. just to compare.
also on my first visit i was given a free coffee with my purchase to help me decide which i preferred.
this is how a business should be run!
As you are heading down Albert towards the Botanic Gardens turn last right.

Coffee Anthology has probably got to be my favourite place in the CBD to head for a coffee. Despite the less-​than-​ideal location, tucked away on Margaret St, I’ve always found it worth the journey. The staff are always friendly and accommodating, but most importantly, they just love their coffee. They’ve a variety of meticulously sourced beans ready to go, along with little descriptions of the flavours for those like myself who have little to no idea about the finer nuances of the beans.
On top of just great coffee, Anthology boast a variety of ready-​to-​go sandwiches, cakes and wraps in their cabinet, and a full kitchen for those seeking a bit more of a full meal, but if you’re like me and their countless other advocates, the main reason to go will always be the coffee.

Coffee Anthology remains my favourite café of the year. Adam and his team provide excellent service. Thank you also for hosting the recent Bean Brewding tours.
Keep up the good work and see you in the new year.

The personal customer service was welcoming and refreshing! They cater for food allergies too (just tell them clearly)! Best décor

This little coffee shop is off the charts. Personal service and amazing coffee. Even their food options are incredible. You have try this place.

Have you ever seen a barista so focused on his art that he’ll extract an espresso shot only to throw it down the sink? Chances are if you haven’t yet you’ll see just this type of barista in his natural habitat in Coffee Anthology.
In the deep South of the CBD (read: the Botanic Gardens end of the city), Coffee Anthology is a well-​fit out café with a little indoor bar-​style seating and outdoor tables and chairs for the meetings I imagine surrounding office workers have as they sip their lattes. That said, space inside is tight and during the 2 rush periods I witnessed, it gets a little cozy. Still, it moves at lightening speed.
They’re bringing to Brisbane a rotation of reputable Melbourne roasts. When I stopped by this morning, for example, they had bags of Small Batch’s Candyman blend available. There’s also 7 Seeds, Dukes and Padre. If you’re any kind of serious coffee drinker, these names are a warm hug to your tastebuds and sensibility.
The design of the café isn’t new — subway tiles, exposed iron pipes and exposed shelves. Staff are rotating constantly around tables to top up your glasses of water — which is sparkling from the tap.
But you’re here for the coffee. Being a 30-​degree day I opted for their Cold Drip and as a regular black coffee drinker this was flawless. Gentle and fruity — it was worth all four dollars and then some.
From the meals being served around me it looks like they offer a simple and standard café menu including avo on toast and muffins of the day.
With free WiFi available this might just be my new coffice.

Great macchiato. Nice spot if you are looking to be able to have a chat. Simple and small but creative menu

Wow — a new find in my work district.
I can say my first café latte, which by the way was on the house, was to my taste. I was thrilled to see they serverd my latte in a glass which doesn’t happen so often these days.
Staff were friendly and excited as you would be at the beginning of a new adventure!
Look like they have some fresh baked goods on offer and a number of smash and grab lunch options. Watch this space for more as I test them out over the next few weeks!
I am adding this bit now I am a regular — I have just upraded from 4 to 5 as Coffee Anthology has never failed to meet my expectations of a regular coffee haunt. Even if you don’t work in this area of the CBD I would recommend a walk out of your way to give it a try.
