The Cliffs Cafe
3 River Terrace
Kangaroo Point QLD
Ph (07) 3391 7771
Hosted high on the abeiling cliffs above the Brisbane River, Cliffs speaks breeziness and style. This is a wall-free cafe, with a steel deck roof, equipped with comfortable white and orange coloured plastic chairs. It can be accessed by the road from above, or via 105 steps from the river path below. The search for a decent coffee in Brisbane can prove to be one of high adventure, but on this breezy August day I find my Piazza Doro lb well-made, well-structured, and not full to the rim. (They charge extra for a double-shot.) Good selection of cakes, and my slice thereof comes with a generous whack of fair dinkum cream. (Yes folks, the fake stuff still lives on in other cafes around this town.) Other food items beside cakes are of course available – biscuits, brownies, baguettes, quiche, lasagna, frittata, croissants, rolls…
Jacaranda trees line the road. Two fine wire baskets contain light black blankets available for patrons to enwrap themselves in on this coolish day.
