The Gunshop Cafe

The Gunshop’s cosy exposed-brick-walled interior and secluded back-garden oasis are a home away from home for many a Brisbane local – a safe haven where they know they will find delicious fare and boutique-bean brews dispensed with a friendly smile.

Spotlighting locally sourced produce, The Gunshop Cafe’s innovative seasonally changing menu is backed by a cast of weekly specials that rewards regular dining, including omelette of the week, French toast of the week and fish of the week.

A popular brunch spot for more than a decade, The Gunshop Cafe’s all-day offering includes unique breakfast dishes such as green eggs and ham (made with a delicious pesto scramble), pork, apple and sage sausage served with bubble and squeak, and Szechuan-style fried chicken and waffles.

On the beverage side, Gunshop’s adept baristas regularly cycle through boutique beans from across the world, offering black and white coffees alongside a super-special black sesame coffee latte. The cafe also offers milkshakes, thickshakes, frozen-yoghurt smoothies and freshly squeezed juice, as well as a tight list of wines, beers and cocktails.

Treat yourself to a boozy brunch with a classic mimosa or espresso martini, or try one of the cafe’s signature cocktails like the Trigger Happy (a yuzu whiskey sour) or the Mexican Standoff (a spicy margarita made with silver tequila, ginger beer and jalapeno).
