Edward Espresso & Kitchen

A cup of coffee used to be a simple pleasure. Cheap, reliable, a quick pick-me-up. Now it feels like a small indulgence, a luxury you can’t afford to waste on mediocrity in a world where everything feels overpriced. If you’re paying five to seven bucks for a coffee, it better deliver. For a reliable coffee spot in Brisbane’s city centre, head to Edward Espresso and Kitchen. The constant buzz of activity drew me in - a bustling crowd is always a promising sign. The sign outside the cafe promises “quality coffee, fast service,” and the baristas inside work like a finely tuned machine, churning out perfect pours without missing a beat. The medium flatty was $5.50, and worth every cent. Smooth, rich, and satisfying in the way only good coffee can be. There’s not much room to sit inside - it’s more of a grab-and-go spot where efficiency and quality meet. Perfect for a reliable caffeine fix before you get on with your day.

Best espresso I had in Brisbane. And in a proper china cup with friendly service

Excellent coffee, but the food options are limited (e.g., no poached egg option for avo toast, no chocolate croissants, etc.). I will be back for more coffee! Their hot mocha is very good. Excellent, friendly service staff. Basic atmosphere with limited seating.

Delicious coffee and food! The barista was extra helpful to deliver us our food and coffee to a table in the Anzac Square building tables. Great work team!!😃👍

This is the only coffee shop where I've ever had anyone consistently remember my name and pronounce it perfectly. That's really impressive considering the amount of traffic this place gets. Not only are they respectful of your time and get you the most speedy coffee you've ever seen, but the quality of it is absolutely divine and all the staff are just friendly as. I really hope this becomes a coffee chain so I can enjoy this level of service wherever I go.

Small menu but everything has been done really well. Like exceptionally well. Coffee is consistent and poured very well. I would rate it top 3 in Brisbane city .

Great coffee. Great spot for people watching. On the way to the train station excellent speedy service with great Barista and divine coffee. Strong too. Sit in the window seat & watch the world go by for a moment of selfcare. Must do Brisbane experience.

Finally had a chance to come back here after a few months of waiting. Located in the center of CBD, riding on the slope between Central station and Queen Street Mall, Edward Specialty Coffee is a hidden gem and really easy to be missed if you don’t pay enough attention. But once you have had their coffee, you will want to keep going back. It is a great place to escape from the busy life outside the window. I grabbed a medium long black with an extra shot. I was offered two choices, fruity and stronger. I didn’t hesitate and chose the stronger one, as I’m working in an hour and I needed something to wake me up. The coffee was alright, very mutual taste. For an extra strong coffee, it wasn’t as strong as I thought it would be, and it actually tasted a bit weak. Maybe I held too big of an expectation, or maybe I’m too tired to taste the intensity of the coffee. But with everything being said, I wasn’t denying the quality of their coffee, as it wasn’t my first time there and their coffee has been consistent. I also loved the fact that the coffee wasn’t insanely hot and was at a comfortable temperature to drink. The service was great as always, which is another thing that makes me want to keep going back. For a cafe focusing on specialty coffee, they truly live up to their name.
