    Couple of cool young guys doing a good job using veneziano. Coffee lacked the punch that I've experienced with veneziano in other cafes. Nice food. Great service.

    Good all round coffee, smooth and good taste. Possibly a bit weak for those that like a real kick.

    After driving past Symposium a few times recently, my wife and I decided it was finally time to try this cafe out - now that it has been open for a year or so. On the surface, it seems to follow that familiar winning formula of opening a cafe in a clever location to capture a market of... Read more

    Great menu, coffee and staff. The eggs Benedict with salmon was delicious. Coffee was spot on - I had 2.

    Off the bat Symposium isn't your normally high end specialty coffee houses. But this place has character it's small, unique and chilled out you almost feel a sense of relief stepping in the place. We pulled up on Sunday morning and were greeted by probably the fittest wait person in Australia... Read more

    I get my morning coffee here, and it's consistent, pretty quick (usually pretty busy) and they manage to remember your coffee after you've walked through the door once. Coffee is consistent. Fantastic service, and a great range of healthy, tasty food. Highly recommend (especially for breakfast).

    A boutique cafe in the upcoming cafe precinct - Commercial Road, in Fortitude Valley. Serves all day breakfasts and Veneziano coffee, locally crafted in Westend, Brisbane. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, great for escaping the office!

    Best cafe in Brisbane for breakfast, hands down. Quite a feat when you consider the quality in the area. Coffee is decent but not a standout. A good mid tier coffee rather than up there with Vue, Belissimo, or Campos.

    Enjoyed a piccolo here this morning. Coffee was very balanced but punchy with a smooth velvety texture in the mouth. Crema was perfect, milk smooth and fine and overall I really enjoyed.

    Staff were laid back and more than ok that I just having coffee. Cafe was busy and outside was... Read more

    Very loud inside, with exposed kitchen and coffee machine, almost had to shout to have a conversation! Food was good but not as warm as it could have been, coffee was okay. Had to ask twice for coffees that had been ordered but not delivered.

    What a great little cafe! Coffee was delicious and my eggs Benedict was divine. This place will develop quiet a following I think.
