    I went there twice. After their opening when I was not too impressed, and about a year. If you like mild coffee, Uncle Joe is great. Unfortunately, I prefer something punchier. Also, coffee was served lukewarm. It would be good in a hot summer day, but not a rainy day in autumn. The place lacks... Read more

    The quality of coffee shots and presentation of your 'cup of Joe' leaves lingering admiration for the baristas and roasters of this café.

    My double ristretto shot has a deep rich-coloured crema. The strength of the shot kick-starts my day. I return a week later and partake of a... Read more

    A truly outstanding coffee shop. Service is wonderful, friendly, engaging, fast. Atmosphere is clean, professional and great for wanting to study or chat quietly over your expertly prepared drink. Coffee is second to none, their knowledge and skill shines thru in each cup as does the flavour of the... Read more

    very nice, not sure about single boiler machine as ultimate choice for "Concept" Cafe as owner has refered to, but nice indeed. Nice boiler tower for brewed coffees, choice of Single or blend, some alt brewing methods. Lacking bit of atmosphere for suburban Cafe.

    Saw the recommendations on here for this place and gave it a go. Really glad I did as the coffee was very good. I am not sure about the atmosphere but I usually takeaway anyway so it's fine by me. I wish they had eftpos!

    WOW! What a treasure... After a long night sleep out seeking enrolment at Coorparoo SS for my daughter, I stumbled into Uncle Joe's, feeling like a tourist in my own neighbourhood. Great blend - smooth and delectable! Don't be fooled by the location...do yourself a favour - best coffee in Coorparoo... Read more

    Unassuming cafe with friendly, informative, passionate baristas. Amazing coffee, simply amazing - satisfies all the senses. For skinny drinkers, take the full cream option - elegantly smooth, oozing flavour and texture. The one place to take any visitor to Brisbane for coffee.

    I think I gave a fairly comprehensive review of Uncle Joe's Coffee House after my first visit a couple of weeks ago. But after dropping in again this morning I realised there are a couple of additional things I really need to mention to give potential visitors a better idea of what they can... Read more

    I had a few people tell me about this cafe so I finally went and checked it out today. I have to say I was very impressed with their house blend which had a real earthy vibe with a very nice body to it.

    Mark kindly brought myself and my friends a serving a sample pour over with... Read more

    Following our visit to Uncle Joe’s Coffee House we were thinking about publishing our first 3 letter post to describe our experience – simply put, it was ‘WOW!’ We tried so much coffee and had so many chats it was a buzz, both physically and intellectually. If we tried to capture everything... Read more

    Wow, this is seriously good coffee. Had the house blend today, One of the owners Mark has his own coffee roasting busineess-3rd crack coffee. He's soooo passionate about his product and an excellent product it is. At the moment they're open Monday-Saturday 7-2pm. Looks like they'll be opening... Read more

    Disclosure: I always visit each cafe at least 3 times before I post a review. I visit at busy times, quiet times and different times of the day to try to sample different Baristas. I consider this method to be fair to the operators and also this method provides a fair assessment. Coffee numbers are... Read more

    A smooth double ris latte hit the spot this morning, thanks guys. Tip: no EFTPOS, but there are a few ATMs across the road.

    I have to agree with all the previous reviews - an excellent place for coffee. The staff are very friendly and accomodating. Our coffees were smooth, good froth - beans from El Salvador. Not to be missed if your in the Coorparoo area.

    Finally managed to stop in here yesterday to try the new kid on the block! I wasn't disappointed, these guys serve a great coffee. My short black could not be faulted, smooth and creamy without a hint of bitterness. It's out of my way on my work journey but I will be popping in when they start... Read more

    It's an 8.8 because of the 'atmosphere' no doubt everyone is raring the coffee a 10 as UJ's make consistently amazing coffees. Now they have the cold drip with 2 variations, you can't go wrong! Still in love with this place and the best coffee shop in Brisbane. DandD's main contender!

    The setup and atmosphere is lacking, but coffee was great. Two piccolos made really well. 8 ounce taken away was delicious. If you like coffee check it out.

    Went in to grab a coffee, left after having 3! I never have that much coffee. Thanks guys for a great chat this morning, I felt very welcome, certainly the new benchmark for service in my opinion. Although it wasn't busy you can tell when someone is genuine or not and these guys are. First cup... Read more

    Spectacular. I would be surprised if there was anyone in Australia as passionate about their coffee as Mark and Adam. Worth travelling a long way to savour.

    Not very trendy. Totally refreshing. Unique story. Distinct style, methods and flavour. Good one.

    Hard to find, unassuming though definitely worth the effort.

    I had heard about this place (which seemed to pop up overnight?!) and was very keen to see how good the coffee really was here... It was jaw droppingly good.

    It's been a while since I have taken the time to write a review. But this place is worth the time. So firstly there isn't any signage so you need to look out for it.

    This business is purely based around enjoying coffee, but they arnt coffee snobs. With my little bit of knowledge they... Read more

    Every type of coffee is made to perfection. Knowledgable, passionate, friendly. These guys know how to make the best coffee and how to keep customers coming back. Well worth a trip to make it your local.
