    I went to One Drops several times based on a recommendation from a coffee snob friend. I enjoyed my coffee at each visit. I normally take a seat at a communal table and read newspaper. Coffee there is always good, food is enjoyable, service is good, but it cannot find any wow factors that make me... Read more

    On my way to visit a friend of mine who unfortunately ended up in hospital recently with several broken bones, I decided that the best way to cheer him up a bit would be with a special coffee. One Drop came to mind initially because of it's ideal location just near RBH, but I also have such fond... Read more

    Wow. Possibly the best Short Macchiato I have ever had :-| Absolutely amazing. It was a double shot, with absolutely no - not even a hint - of bitterness right down to the very last (appropriately) drop. The guys are great, the white LM is beautiful, and mazzers are great. The only problem is,... Read more

    Another specialty coffee bar has opened in Brisbane and it is good! One Drop has been open for less than a week and it is quickly gaining popularity.

    With the addition of One Drop there are now three espresso bars at the foyer of the Cardno building. My guess is before we know it,... Read more

    I had a delicious flat white at this very interesting cafe. When I was there there were a number of people who were very interested in coffee passing through. The service was great, the ambiance is good. The only slight reservation I have is that given the wonderful coffee and great service whether... Read more

    So smooth. Beautiful flavour and not a hint of bitterness. I instantly wanted another one.

    Great Coffee as usual! One of the few Cafes open nice and early for an airport drop-off. Had a smooth house blend flat white followed by the single origin Mecca El Salvador! Always worth a visit.

    WOW!
    though a little noisy for our early morning meeting this place did not dissapoint. Certainly one of the best coffee's in Brisbane. We ordered a picolo, flat white, latte on a tripple ristreto base and a long machiato, all of which went down beautifully. Smooth, rich and creamy with... Read more

    the pictures on beanhunter are deceiving, one drop is tiny! set up in the corner of a high rise lobby, one drop pumps out coffees while the other surrounding coffee shops watch in awe. the reason is in the cup.

    Thankyou for restoring my dwindling faith in Brisbane Baristas. I haven't had coffee like that since Melbourne, so cheers :-)

    I'm going out with Blaine, na not really, I just wish I was AFTER HAVING SUCH A WONDERFUL COFFEE. Maximum credit to ben for such perfectly textured milk poured elegantly to create the most exhilarating latte art my eyes have ever feasted upon. RESPECT

    Lots of places make coffee, but few really focus on it as an art form. One Drop is my local workplace cafe and my favorite. The staff know my name and my order. They banter with all their customers and order in specialty, exotic coffees for people who line trying something different.

    Love love love love love the coffee here. Great selection of blends, staff are so professional and the atmosphere is so inviting. The only thing they could improve is to be open on the weekends.

    There is a crew of people leading a charge for great coffee in brissy and these guys are an example of just that! Deff put it on the list if doing the rounds in Bris! Agree with the tad sterile... Limite by possie though!

    Great coffee. The service is excellent and all of the staff are very friendly. The food is also really good. This place is worth a trip to if you love coffee.

    Another trek to get here but once there the filter was incredible and the espresso better still. All around a winner and with the promise of Wifi!!!! Even better.

    Can't get over how many Coffee spots there are in the same place but One Drop is busy and all the others are taking the dregs. Coffee is great and make with care. Super Silky and perfect temperature.

    I have been here a couple of times with some friends while i was studying and the coffee was great. The service was friendly and the delights were tasty. Definitely a place to add to the list for an excellent coffee crawl ;)

    This place is top notch for quality and consistency. Always cheery, helpful staff and great blends every single time. Just a 5 minute stroll from the valley train station - it's well worth a visit on the way to work.

    I've been visiting one drop periodically since they opened, and... Read more

    Lives up to the hype. House blend is a balanced cornucopia of flavours. Even in milk tastes like fruit and nut chocolate. Sort of. Loved it.

    Nice place. Feels like a legit cafe in the bottom of an office building which is definitely a difficult feat to accomplish.

    They have partnered with local boutique roasters Cleanskin coffee to develop a blend and ambitiously sought after sourcing feature coffees in the other grinder... Read more

    One Drop. They have the best equipment and they use it well. One of the best espresso I've had in a long time. Flat white was also impressive well textured milk, good temperature and presentation. The boys were very friendly. I was glad they were open at 6 in the am. The only real downside it they...
