Well, it seems as if Cyclone Alfred is content to keep us waiting a bit longer for it to make its grand arrival. Thankfully, plenty of Brisbane cafes and restaurants are opening today, Friday March 7, for one extra day of trade before the wild weather hits this weekend. If you need a coffee fix, a lunch bite or are just keen to support our local hospitality scene in the midst of this uncertainty and chaos, we’ve compiled a handy list of spots you can visit. Please keep in mind that circumstances could change on a whim and many of these venues will only be trading if it’s safe to do so. We also encourage readers to exercise caution when venturing outside and keep up to date with current government alerts and warnings.
