Abode Cafe 30 Hillsdon Road, Taringa, Queensland 4068

"I have been to Abode numerous times, as it is one of the local cafes. It is a cozy corner in the neighbourhood & I love that it is attached to Hillsdon Grocer. They have a delicious house made chai blend & have lots of gluten free options. I can’t speak for the other items on the menu but I had the gluten free version of their avo smash meal. It was beautifully presented, though I felt it was overpriced for the portion size. $28 today for the avo smash & an iced dirty chai. With summer approaching, chilled table water would be an amazing plus. I will continue to return - just for the coffee & their treats. Thank you to the lovely staff!"

"My husband and I visited this cafe for lunch. We waited half an hr for our food in a cafe that wasn't very busy. A table that came in after us were served before us and when I went to ask where our meals were was told about 2 mins away. Food was less then average with heated up bacon which was barely able to be cut and custard that was so overheated is was pure liquid. When I paid the bill I was told that the 1/2 hr wait time was acceptable, yes maybe if you were busy but it was Tuesday lunchtime with only 4 tables sitting outside all of which had coffee and then us and the other table. Both of us are chefs and would be embarrased to serve anything like what we received and for the amount we paid."

"Great local cafe hidden on middle of Taringa. Awesome coffee, delicious cakes and fantastic service! Highly recommended."

"BANG ON! One of my local faves and despite the small options on their menu for brunch, their dishes are comforting and delicious. Today I ordered the avo with peas on sourdough which I thought had good flavour, a decent portion, and was a winner! Love to see house made beans on their menu too! I’m hoping they will source coffee beans with a depth of richness and flavour as usually their house beans are average and flat. Always enjoy their front of house service and quick timing of the food being served."

"visited Abode cafe this morning for a drink and a quick bite~ lovely outdoor and indoor seating area, really homey feel to it, lives up to its name! staff here are super friendly and nice~ we found a table quite easily as many people were just taking away~ we ordered a latte, hot choc and two plain croissants~ drinks took quite a while to come out, i would assume as many people were waiting to take away, so we wanted to drink in but had to get them in take away cups as we were running out of time croissants were quite lovely! i heard this place freshly bakes their croissants each day! $6.5 per croissant which is a bit on the pricey side but for a freshly baked one, quite worth it! overall quite a good experience, definitely will visit again as i peeked at other tables breakfasts and they looked so good!"
