    Great little cafe. So busy on Saturday. Great service food and of course coffee.

    I popped in here today. It was quite busy and evidently very popular.

    The atmosphere is great. Nice fit out, well designed and a good vibe.

    The service wasn't great though. I stood at the till while a few waitresses had a chat amongst themselves. Not ideal.

    Had two wonderful macchiatos here pulled from the beautiful synesso. The food is fabulous (I had a watermelon and pistachio salad) and I really love the suburban setting.

    It's been a little while since I was last here and this will probably be my 5th visit overall.....and sadly my last. Not because I am moving away but because I just haven't had a coffee here that meets the hype. This morning I got a regular size takeaway flat white. My first sip was bitter, a... Read more

    stopped in for a quick piccolo today. Needless to say, I was quite happy with it. The service was prompt, the paper was good, the coffee had some awesome berries in it, and there was a good attempt at a hanging heart on it. I don't mind these guys.

    Such a nice environment and very popular. Came in about 3 months ago on a weekend and had about a 20 minute wait outside just to get a seat. Slightly annoying considering that there were a total of 40 seats reserved for 'walkers' etc, but thats their business decision. Had a lovely savoury mince... Read more

    Had a very nice flat white today. The extraction brought out subtle caramel, berry & citrus notes and the milk texturing was perfect. One of the best coffees I've had anywhere in the last fortnight.

    The cafe was very busy but service was friendly and efficient. And although I didn't... Read more

    In the past year I have seen a few suburban cafes pop up but I have to say "The Corner Store Cafe" has just raised the bar a little higher in the suburban cafe race. They use locally roasted beans via Cleanskin Coffee Co. and are currently serving blend #7 as their house blend. I had a variety of... Read more

    Good little cafe. It's very popular with the locals and has a good feel. Almost like a country town corner store/cafe and they do it well. Coffee is smooth and easy to drink. Have had many good coffees here and the food is always nice as well.

    We decided to visit Corner Store Cafe today after a good friend of mine (someone who really knows coffee) rated it very highly. And I'm so glad we went because I really felt like we’d discovered something special.

    We approached from the corner side, around 10.30am. It all looked... Read more

    Second visit to the Corner Store Cafe. This place has been packed out with people both times, which is always a good sign! Coffee was nice, good service, and a nice atmosphere to sit and relax in. Thanks guys!

    Ive been twice here this week. Coffee blend number 7 from cleanskins coffee is their current offering on the synesso. No single origins but the blend is great, loads of choc cocoa flavour with a nice crisp acidity in the background. Not sure of the exact blend origins but tasted like a fair bit of... Read more

    OK It is on Toowong, so it is not too bad at all! Enjoyable atmosphere, pretty average coffee and above average service. Always busy on weekends. So, nothing to say for such successful business. well done guys

    I did a review for this place when it first opened and to be fair i should have given them more time to get well established. but now they have settled in there relaxed cool, modern atmosphere fits really well into the area and brings in a great vibrance that is missing from most cafes. The food... Read more

    I was very impressed by The Corner Store. We were greeted at the door by nearly every staff member. Walking to our table a caught a glimpse of the Synesso being worked frantically - I was keen to see the results, and the guys definitely delivered. Both our coffees were made excellently. The fitout... Read more

    Food was good and the setting is great but the coffee was only served at around 50 degrees although it tasted good. If all the staff were as friendly as the first waiter we had then it would have improved our experience.

    A favorite with the ladies who lunch and also the pram brigade. Coffee was good, but not amazing. Food was yum and generous servings.

    These guys have done an excellent job with the fit out of the cafe - the first time I visited was for lunch in their opening week. The chicken salad was excellent and the coffee good.

    We visited again a few weeks later for breakfast. The place was packed, but sadly the coffee was no... Read more

    Coffee is really well extracted. The baristas here really know what they are doing. It gets incredibly busy yet the coffees come pretty quickly. Food can vary - some is good and some ok. They've put a lot into the fit out here and it shows so it's great to see so many people supporting the place.... Read more

    What more can I say other than..

    A: The Food and Service is great.

    B: Have yet to be let down; by any coffee based drink or the barista.

    C: The Tea can be a little weak and for me needs to seep a bit longer B4 hitting the table.

    The fifth cafe on my list this day, I was all full of espresso and on the edge of jitters. That said, how can you pass up a new cafe getting such good reviews?

    The space itself is a very well considered fusion of modern features - lighting, glass, colour scheme (white, black,... Read more

    The quality has slipped over the past year or so. Much preferred the Cleanskin beans they used to use. Not a big fan of the Marvell Street from Byron Bay. Still drinkable, but much better coffee on offer elsewhere.

    Service is generally good if a bit 'cool'. Barista can be slow and... Read more

    Seriously impressed by the corner store!! The wait time was a little long, but the staff where friendly very accommodating of my elderly grandmother. The double ris was brilliant, and a had a 3/4 flatwhite that was also award winning. The menu sounded great, and the cakes that we got where... Read more
