This is an amazing venue and great experience. Service was world class and even whilst waiting for a table the staff were attentive and accommodating. Food was just next level for a breakfast/brunch venue with excellent variations on the same boring menus every other cafe does. We decided we could easily go back and work our way through the selection on offer as we wanted to try multiple dishes. My personal recommendation to the team would be to just sort out the payment process as the queue to line up at the cashier intersects with the food pass and bathroom access, so it’s kind of chaotic during busy periods and very difficult for the service team to access the orders and you feel their frustration (although they were always smiling). But that doesn’t distract from the overall experience being exceptional.

Amazing breakfast/brunch place with very delicious food. The place as such is very stylish, staff was super friendly and the food and drinks were a 10/10.

When I saw this cafe listed as the best brunch spot in Brisbane, I had to give it a try—and it didn’t disappoint! The food was fantastic, and the service was top-notch. Richard made me feel especially welcome, and his recommendation was spot on. Highly recommended!

We ordered the Umurice and the Carbonara. I would say food wise, this place is a 4/5 rating! The pasta stood out to me the most as the plating and taste was quite flavorful (i liked it). The pork cuts were very generous and savoury (the texture was soft as well, love!) the pasta they used were the orecchiette, never had them before but i enjoyed them here. The Umurice on the other hand, it was standard, was not bad, but was not amazing, very typical which is quite understandable knowing that this cafe is a western fusion kind. The vibes of the place r so nice, probably not ideal for a hot December like summer, but for spring and autumn, definitely a good place to catch up with your friends or do your assignments/work. breezy open air place, friendly staff. Do get their coffee too!

★★★★

The coffee here is the highlight. While the food is good, it’s a bit too oily and creamy for my taste. The service is fast and friendly, even when they’re very busy. If you’re looking for a place to catch up with friends, this spot offers a nice vibe, great coffee, and decent food. However, parking can be difficult. Overall, it’s still one of the better options in West End.

This cafe is a very aesthetic with a lovely layout and interior. They have a good variety of dishes and add a twist to the traditional dishes. While the dishes are on the more expensive side it’s worth treating yourself to something different. I ordered the banana bread that was topped with mascarpone and fresh berries. The banana bread was so soft and it wasn’t too sweet. Staff are also very attentive in checking you have everything you need and topping up your water. Give them a visit for a delicious breakfast or lunch!

The sweet potato waffle is surprisingly good, although the fried chicken seems like a kind of frozen food! It doesn’t matter too much. In addition, there are so many guests in the restaurant, so it is a worthwile option to experience local food culture.

Very good service from the staff here, we requested for indoor table when there was no availability, the staff has kindly allocated us to an outdoor table first and moved us to another outdoor table with shades, once the indoor table was available, they moved us another time in there. It is rare to have such a proactive staff serving us in brunch places. Foods are always good from this cafe, has been going there for years and even after moving to Sydney, I have always returned to this cafe for their breakkie every time I m in Brisbane.

Food was sublime. I had the carbonara and it was 10-out of- 10. Service was amazing and they served full cans of coke no sugar which is always a winner for me.

Have been here for a few times, love it. So decided to take my fam here when they visit Australia. On a Tuesday afternoon, not so busy.. I have put my hand up already to order for a few times, have already made eyes contact to one of the waitress and she decided ignore me. Even my dad noticed that she is ignoring us. I got served because another customer reminded other waitress to serve me.

I ordered a cheeseburger and it was quite large and delicious! For Japanese people, I think its a must-have amount to take home... Its okay if you eat a lot When I unexpectedly ordered tea, a teapot came out and I couldnt help but laugh out loud. A true eclectic mix of Japanese and Western...

the cafe definitely has the vibes. the chai latte and banana loaf i had was underwhelming though

October 23, 2024

1 star just because of service. (Thock thack thuck!) Thats what you ll hear from the customer service aggressively putting cutlery bowls anything. Be prepared that they will also suddenly put stuff from other table to your table when you eat and aggressively. Really felt there is no customer service training done. Felt bad for the kitchen team as they ve done a great job, but get fooked over because of the service at front

Me and my friends visit the restaurant today and had mixed feelings about our experience. The food was genuinely good, and we enjoyed our meal. However, the service left something to be desired. Throughout our visit, we felt rushed, with staff repeatedly asking if we wanted to order more. Toward the end, they brought the bill without us requesting it, even though there were other free tables, claiming they had booked our table. This made us feel like we were being pushed out rather than welcomed to stay and enjoy our time. While the food was great, the service made the experience less enjoyable.

September 23, 2024

Food is great but the service ???? They were all so rude with dirty looks the whole time. I ve never felt more unwelcomed in a cafe from the moment we walked in to leaving. Owner and all staff were just sitting around on a table out the front talking & when I went to pay the owner was so rude (setting a great example for her staff). Not worth it, better cafes around with nicer staff who don t make you feel like you re imposing just by giving them business

★★★
September 23, 2024

$2 per tiny thimble of 30ml ketchup labelled under open serve. Poor value for money. The smashburger was dry but not crispy. The point of a smashburger is that you trade juiciness for caramelization. The best days of Morning After are long gone, like the old wagyu burger

August 23, 2024

Staff member was condescending, the coffee was over extracted and milk over heated. In an area where good coffee is abound, they should really pick up their standard. I normally never leave a review for bad coffee, but the womans behaviour compelled me to warn others of this establiment. They decor is tacky, I should have known as soon as I stepped in, there was a smell of bleach too.

Food is average really. The fried rice with wagyu beef is so disappointing. Maybe just call it soy sauce rice, that would be fitting. Ask for extra chilli and butter, and got charge $1 each for it. Feel cheated as should give a heads up they ll charge for extra as it s not a common practice. Don t mind the charging if given heads up. Chai and coffee are good though.

Be sure to try the spicy honey glazed smoked bacon & cheesy potato hash cake...

July 23, 2024

I was there for breakfast yesterday with my friend and I have to say the girl who was serving us was clearly not happy to be there! I ordered a chai and my coffee came super cold, after the first sip I called her and asked for another coffee because mine was cold. She got the coffee and when she brought another one she just put it on the table, no apology or even looking at me. When she came to the plates my friend asked for another coffee and she didnt even ask if we had finished our meal! I asked her if she was ok, because although the food was great, the terrible service didnt make us want to go back.

One of the better breakfast venues Ive been to in recent years. Great vibe, excellent service and great food. The menu is very enticing. I had the spicy bacon, scrambled egg and hash brown which would have been perfect if it had more than one piece of bacon and everything werent drowned in maple syrup. I would order this again but would request extra bacon and no syrup. My partner had the French Toast with Caramelised Banana, gelato and pistachio crumb and was very impressed. The coffee was excellent! We will be going back for sure.

Didnt feel welcome at all. Host was busy talking with their friend. We were waiting to be seated but he kept talking and just ignored us. He then got busy taking care of other stuff then just simply looked at us and told us to go to the table, when the table has already been vacant for a while. Doesn t table service mean we get welcomed to the table and then served? Waitress was also rude, pulled the menu out of my hands when i wasn t ready, also didn t know how to pour water as all the water was everywhere. Otherwise, it was vegetarian friendly, but the food was overall mid. :)

Really bad experience today. It s 27th April 2024 today and we had the food there around 2:40 pm. The waitress, a high white woman, was quite rude to us, not even like no serving attitude. When I tried to get ordered, she ignored me for the first time and came to us after 2-3 minutes serving other customers and stood behind my friend to help us to order. No response when we finish order saying thank you and really rude. Really good restaurant but an extremely awful experience today.

I ve visited The Morning After may times over the years since it has been open. You could call this place a West End institution with how popular and busy it gets. It has a bright and visually appealing interior which is great for the gram! Despite its popularity, we were fortunate to find a table without a long wait today. The staff were kind and attentive throughout our lunch. Having been here numerous times, I can attest to the diverse menu, but as a pasta lover, the Prawn Spaghetti and Signature Carbonara are personal favorites. Today, I tried the Fish Burger with fries, while my husband enjoyed the Crispy Skinned Salmon both dishes were delicious! Their coffee selection, featuring 5 Senses Coffee and Roast by Yili, has always been consistently good. If youre in the area, definitely make a stop at The Morning after, but just make sure to come a little earlier over the weekend as it gets busy. Vegetarian options: There were a few vegetarian options I could see on the menu. Dietary restrictions: They have vegetarian and gluten free options, and also have milk alternatives. Parking: Parking is hard to find, so you may need to drive around and find neighboring side street parking. Kid-friendliness: It seems to be Kid friendly :) Wheelchair accessibility: It has easy access.

A place I saved and visited during my trip to Brisbane in April last year. Of course, the coffee was delicious, as well as the pancakes, especially the carbonara. My sister who visited with me also really liked it. The store has a nice atmosphere, so I recommend it if you have travel plans! I visited here during my trip to Brisbane in April last year. The pancake & their unique brekky carbonara were unforgettable! I ll definitely be back next time! The brewed coffee and latte were Great too :-)

Used to love this place but customer service is very poor and food not good anymore. We asked to sit on chairs with backs as I have chronic back pain, however they were unable to organise this despite chairs being available at empty tables. I ordered a meal and specifically requested no spice. The meal turned up covered in a spicy sauce, so I couldn t eat it. I mentioned it to the staff but they said that they couldn t do anything about it, it was part of the dish. I was a loyal customer but don t see myself coming back.

2024-02 Brunch Cafe Even though it rained last Saturday, people were waiting in line... so I went today. Mushroom croquettes are delicious - you should try them when you come here. If you order a large flat white, it tastes a lot like milk, but this taste is satisfying. I ordered and drank strawberry juice and it was so so so. The batch coffee also has a very good sense of acidity.

Nestled in West End, The Morning After is a brunch haven bursting with flavor and fun. Among its star dishes, the Ma Muffin, Fish Burger, and Chicken Waffles steal the show with their mouthwatering twists on breakfast classics. The Ma Muffin packs fluffy eggs, crispy bacon, and gooey cheese between buttery English muffins a fan favorite that hits the spot every time. For a taste of the seaside, dive into the Fish Burger, featuring tender fish fillet, crunchy lettuce, and zesty tartar sauce sandwiched in soft brioche buns a delicious catch you wont want to release. Weve ordered this the past two times as they do change up the menu and were not sure how long this deliciousness will last! And lets not forget the Chicken Waffles a harmonious blend of crispy fried chicken atop fluffy waffles, drizzled with maple syrup and hot sauce a sweet and savory delight thats simply irresistible. But The Morning After isnt just about the food; its an experience. Weve never made a reservation; you simply add your name to a list and usually have around a 10-20 minute wait time. But fret not! You can enjoy a takeaway beverage while you wait, adding to the anticipation and excitement of whats to come. So, if youre craving a brunch adventure like no other, head to The Morning After and indulge in their delectable offerings. With dishes like these, your morning is sure to start on a delicious note! Always worth the drive from the north side! Vegetarian options: Theres a plethora of vegetarian options to delight non-meat eaters. But fear not, carnivores, for you can easily amplify any dish with a savory addition like crispy bacon or juicy fried chicken. Picture this: indulging in a creamy carbonara, enhanced with a side of perfectly crispy fried chicken. Its a match made in brunch heaven thatll have your taste buds singing with joy. Parking: Its a bit of a gamble when it comes to parking sometimes you luck out with a spot right out front, while other times, you might find yourself circling the block a time or two. But fear not! Ive got a pro tip for you: if youre rolling in with a buddy, divide and conquer. Send one person to put your name down on the waitlist while the other embarks on the quest for the perfect parking spot. Its a winning strategy that ensures you spend less time waiting and more time enjoying the brunch goodness that awaits inside. So, roll the dice, split the tasks, and get ready for a morning of culinary delights at The Morning After! Kid-friendliness: Bringing the kiddos along for a brunch adventure at The Morning After? Absolutely! Ive spotted a few little ones happily munching away during my visits, and trust me, theres something on the menu to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters.

Amazing food! Beef rendang with the roti was so good, dry egg noodles with pork was also tasty. A bit more expensive than other places but the portions are generous. The place was buzzing, had to wait about 30 minutes to get a table for 4. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating, but it can get quite loud on the inside so was hard to hold a conversation. They had both Asian style dishes and normal brunch food which we really enjoyed. We ve been here a few times every few months, and they change some of the menu items around so it was nice to be able to try something new.

This is an absolute eye-opening cafe. I don t understand where are those 5 stars reviews come from. See below: Food: I tried the Scrambled egg with truffle salami. Way too salty, an excessive amount of salt was put into the egg and turn the taste completely bitter. I lost my soul after eating it and my taste buds were all dead. Service: Staffs were generally helpful and polite. However, there was one staff who kept insisting that we hadnt paid the bill even though we had already settled it. I don t like the way she talked to me. She eventually apologised for the misunderstanding. Overall: The cafe is over rated. Food definitely need a huge improvement to reach the edible standard. STEER CLEAR OF THE DUMP :)

I had been here couple of times myself having cup of coffee while doing work. The whole ambience was great so I brought my hubby and 15mths old baby boy for breakfast on Easter Monday. Staffs were friendly and very good with the baby. Though we didnt get a table immediately the wait time was relatively short. New menu this time and there were just as delicious. We ordered the Fried Chicken Benedicts and Nasi Goreng and we both were very pleased about it. Great place to bring friends and family when they visit in town. Kid-friendliness: There are high chairs option to sit the baby/toddler down in it.

we essentially paid 65$ for 2 small lattes, a big pancake with a dollop of ice cream on it and one piece of toast with tomatoes and avocado on it. The vibes are nice though and everything looks pretty. Good place if you aren t a bit tight.

We stopped here on our walk this morning and we re pleasantly surprised at the great service. The cafe has table service and they were very quick to provide menus and water before coming back out to take orders. The staff regularly checked that the food and coffee was ok and whether we needed a top up. There is inside and outside eating areas with plenty of open space and fresh air inside. The menu is unusual, has plenty of healthy options as well as the staples for brekkie. We loved it and would definitely return Parking: There is only street parking and given the number of high rises and businesses in the area this cafe is best if you can walk to it.

The staff were all incredibly friendly. Service was quick and fantastic. The restaurant was clean. Everyone there seemed to know that this would be the place to pick for a good start to their day.

We got coffees and the Wagyu burgers for an impromptu lunch yesterday. Surprisingly, they were a side of some of the best fries either of us had ever eaten; ever. Burger was perfectly balanced. Meat was incredible, cheese was sharp and matched well, pickles were tangy, sauce was just right. Amazing value at $25. I only regret not having a sparkling water or soda with it, however, the coffees were great just like they always are! Service was also lovely.

For me Morning After Cafe is one of the main go to places in all of West End. Why? Because Id its a decent meal or just coffee with friends, either way this place satisfies. What gives it that extra edge I believe it the wide open corner outlook with huge Balinese style windows bathing the room in great light. Theres outdoor seating if its a fine day, too. The real icing on the cake is the excellent service. I find the staff are keen to ensure you get what you expected. If Im by myself I can sit by the bench and look out onto the street rather than just looking at people trying to enjoy their own thing. So for me, thats what gives this venue four stars. If Google Maps had the option Id be inclined to go 4.5 stars. The food I had was excellent. Banana pancakes. Nom nom nom.

Morning After is a great brunch-lunch place! It had a busy, bright and clean atmosphere. I ordered the Fried chicken benedict, potato & corn waffle, poached eggs, friarielli, chipotle hollandaise which was quite tasty! The potion size was generous, the poached eggs were runny, the fried chicken was not dry and the sauce was flavourful with a subtle tangy flavour. Conversely, I did not love the friarielli as I personally felt it didn t match well with the rest of the meal, and I would ve loved the corn waffle to be a little more crispy! We had to wait around 25 minutes for a seat so I would recommend booking if possible. Additionally, the service was extremely accomodating and attentive - I had an enjoyable dining experience! Parking: On a Saturday midday, it was quite difficult to find parking as only street parking available. On the weekends, it is free, however on the weekdays, it is paid.

We waited all week to dine here for breakfast on Sunday, we came early to avoid the anticipated wait. I dont mind waiting when something is good, but the hotcake and pea fritter where raw in the middle, we brought this to our waitress attention and were offered a free coffee, but we found the coffee milky and week anyway, so we declined the offer. Definitely didnt live up to the hype, there are better choices for Sunday breakfast out there.

Two of us seated by the window stools and all of a sudden got asked to move down against the column(limited space/leg room), cause oh your were not supposed to sit at a split section to leave one stool empty on the right. Mind that it was Fri 10am and running 60-70% capacity. Looked around, plenty customers came solo and took 2 seater s tables, and a dual even took a 4 seaters. Non of those customers got asked to give up there tables or scoop to the left or right. So why were we targeted? My decaf latte was fine, but the decaf long back was executed very poorly - extremely sour and bitter. Won t go again. Just a pretentious place for nothing.

Finding parking around the restaurant can be a bit of an adventure, so be prepared! When the place is buzzing, theres a vibrant atmosphere thats quite lively. By lively, I also mean noisy lol and I felt myself getting hoarse trying to converse with someone opposite me after 20 minutes. So if that s a deal breaker for you.., consider coming during less busy times if you prefer a quieter setting. The service team is friendly and accommodating, especially when it comes to swapping ingredients. Its refreshing to find a place thats flexible without any added costs, as long as its within the same price range. We were a group of 13 and I noticed other meals looked appetizing too. Bill splitting is allowed, which is a bonus in a group situation. Though Saturday mornings seem to be peak times, I do recommend this place and look forward to coming back, perhaps on a quieter day. Vegetarian options: They don t have separate fryers, so if you are a pure vegetarian, or have strict dietary issues/concerns, be warned. Don t have the fried food options.

Absolutely love this place. The best breakfast options and the coffee is great. The Maras s are really friendly and have a good range of baked goods for takeaway options. The breakfast carbonara is a really good option - very worthwhile to try! Highchairs are available for kids. Bathrooms with changing table are around in the back lane (disabled bathroom) if you need it. Pet friendly if you can nab a table out the front. Sometimes there is a small wait as it can get quite busy on weekend mornings. Kid-friendliness: High chairs and bathrooms. No play area though

I came across Morning After by chance as I was looking for a cafe close to a specific store and Im so glad I did! It was a great experience from start to finish. Service was attentive and friendly, absolutely faultless. The vibe of the cafe was buzzing and I loved the retro chairs. There was a bit of a wait on the food but the place was packed so that was to be expected. When the food did arrive, it was fantastic. I had the sausage and egg muffin and it was to DIE FOR! Im not usually a breakfast person but on this particular morning I was a littlleee bit hungover so the situation called for it and the muffin hit the spot. Its now 3 weeks later and Im still thinking about it. I was there with 3 other people and everyone else loved their food as well. Just a couple of things - it can get quite loud in there as they fit a lot of people in a small space. Also, parking can be difficult to find nearby.

Portions are small and definitely not enough to feed a whole person. Prices are not cheap, you can expect over 35$ per person for a meal and a drink. Service was poor at best. It took ages for a waiter to come over and a time that was not too busy. I asked to be seated inside as it was hot and there were many empty seats inside yet I was still seated outside. Parking is hard to find so expect a stroll around the neighbourhood.

December 23, 2023

On arrival a staff member was extremely rude and aggressive to us because we sat down first. Really friendly to another couple who did the same but whom she knew. No signs about seating requirements. Waitress was impolite and short with us as well. Provided room temperature 38oC water to drink. Other couple given cold water with glasses of ice due to heat wave. Coffees were lukewarm. Crumpets were undercooked, doughy and inedible. The baked eggs were quite good but very spicy. The close tables and dog friendly Cafe meant the dog beside us kept licking our feet. Very expensive for hit and miss food, poor coffee and extremely bad customer service. Parking: You will need to park 2 blocks away in meter parking and be prepared to walk. All parking near by will be taken and there is no Cafe parks.
