    I've visited this cafe regularly since it opened and the coffee is always great. The cafe itself is looking a bit junky with all the bits for sale and the front counter area looks untidy and disorganized. For this reason, I won't eat there it just looks messy in the food prep area.

    Great coffee. Made extremely well, not what you expect from a cafe of this style- aimed at kids for parents. Plenty to do for the tykes whilst you catch up on the latest trash.

    Very good coffee, I always drop in for a takeaway when I'm working in the area.

    In my experience suburban cafes can be very hit and miss when it comes to the coffee they serve. Some of them are serious about coffee and some are just serious about profits.

    Bowerbird however is clearly serious about coffee as they use locally roasted beans from "Saint Coffee" I... 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

    Great area for kids out the back. I've had coffee here about 5 times now and although it's worth coming back for, the service can be a bit erratic. I drink soy caffe latte & on one occasion they bought me a cappuccino (most choc sprinkles have milk powder in them, can't be too careful!) and seemed... Read more

    Love the coffee here, Saint blend from Cleanskin Coffee Company, roasted in Brendale. Staff are friendly, and the Cafe is set up to cater for kids, but also has other areas to sit if you happen to be kid-free!

    Found this place a while back and was very impressed with it. Great spot for kids. Always friendly and quick. Prefect for a coffee on the way to work or while out for a walk. I will be back

    Time to write a review I think! I have been to this cafe quite often since discovering it a few weeks ago. Coffee has been consistent and spot on every time. Although I do not have kids, I love the room provided for those who do so. Staff are friendly enough if you have time to sit and drink your... Read more

    I loved this little cafe. The coffee was beautiful and well presented with very creative art. Very child friendly. I don't have any children myself but still found there was plenty of room to relax and unwind over a fantastic coffee. A must visit.

    This is no average suburban cafe, for starters it makes fantastic coffee! I enjoyed two coffees here on a lazy Saturday afternoon - both were deliciously smooth and were served by staff who obviously have a love of coffee. There were a great selection of yummy cakes and the vibe in the cafe was... Read more

    I'm pretty precious about my coffee, my one-a-day habit still demands the highest standard. The Bowerbird Cafe use Saint coffee, and from what I understand, it's processed locally. I can honestly say this is the smoothest, most aromatic and enjoyable coffee I've ever come across - a big call I... Read more

    Sublime coffee every visit. Had never tasted Saint beans before and they are heavenly. Fantastic kids play area and still some quiet space for when little ones aren't in tow.
