Mixed reviews kept me away but glad curiosity got the better of me. Brother's house blend is as superb as I remember it from ages ago and was done with perfection here on my half strength pic. Quick and friendly service to boot.

Over the past 4 years, these guys have served consistently great coffee, excellent flavor, full bodied, great aroma, near perfect temperature. The food is terrific, the staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It's a great spot and a nice set up. The only let down: due to the immensely... Read more

I was taken here the other day for breakfast by some friends and literally had no expectations as I am not from Brisbane and had not heard of this place. It was busy but the vibe was still cool and the service was right on. My long black was a perfect temp and the flavour seemed as good as you... Read more

Well the brothers have done it again! They have just opened this new cafe in Bulimba. A completely different feel to the Margaret Street establishment, this suburban cafe is located just out of the way of busy Oxford Street in Bulimba. It is very relaxed, and the service is excellent. But most... Read more

Been cycling to Bulimba every morning for coffee for over a year and have tried most of the venues there with mixed results. This little place has often been too full to get into. I finally managed to try their coffee today.
I had two cappuccinos that were both very well made, lovely, silky,... Read more

Nicely positioned in a street not far from Oxford St, this funky, stylish cafe is another example of how the brothers do their coffee business competently and with an edge. I think the edge is an indefinable quality that would make me want to go back again to taste their great coffee, sit in their... Read more

This cafe is fantastic. These guys know how to create a great cafe environment where it is easy to relax. The staff are friendly and the coffee is amazing! Like what user Adam said, if you live in the Bulimba area or surrounding suburbs you are lucky to have a cafe like this close by!

I have mixed feelings about my first visit to Brother Espresso Bulimba today. There were some aspects that I really liked, and others that disappointed a little…

Let's start with the positives. Located just around the corner from Oxford Street, I liked the fact that it was right... Read more

I gave this cafe a 4.8 a year ago based mostly on the cruddy service I used to get. I've since started going back, and I'm happy to report that it's improved immensely! Great service, excellent milk (Bonsoy instead of Vitasoy), little handmade sweeties, cool art on the walls and excellent coffee.... Read more

Really average. Sorry guys but 3 of us were there, and all 3 coffees were too weak and not hot enough. Food was nice enough, but nothing to rave about.

Music a bit loud, coffee a bit inconsistent, and staff are often rude, so not my favourite place in the area but worth a quick pit stop if you're passing by... not really a good place for kids I guess which is probably why it's not for me...

They just keep doing it. Went in for a quick coffee on a weekend and the barista recognized me from my city visits and knew my order straight up. That is the ultimate sign of a pro.

Coffee was great and had the length on the palate I just love. No weak watery coffee here.

Dropped in the yesterday for a takeaway. Not the fastest or friendliest service in the world but the latte I had was wonderful and creamy. Funky little location although if your getting your coffee fix around 3pm parking isn\'t the nest with a school close by

If you like top shelf coffee then this family run cafe is what you have been looking for. Located at the end of Riding Road it has a select menu of light meals to accompany your caffeine addiction. What I admire about Brother Espresso is that you can tell the barista what you feel like and they get... Read more

If I am in Bulimba I am grabbing a coffee from here. I find it consistently better than anywhere in Oxford St. It has a unique flavour that I really enjoy and it always well made. I do find the other reviews confusing as I have always found the service efficient and friendly...it is heads down when... Read more

We go 1-2 x/week. Really great double shot skim lattes, but every barista makes their double shot short macchiatos differently - different cups/glasses, size and taste. Consistency would be good. Food simple and nice and fresh. Service friendly and a bowl of water for the dog. Larger tables... Read more

Dropped in for a couple of takeaways. Brother was really busy, but the service was still very friendly. Music was good and the place had a comfortable feel. One small double latte and one double Sk mocha cost me seven dollars, which made me smile from the get go. While waiting for my coffees I... Read more
