Why it's worth checking out
Blue Basement Cafe sits on Grey Street in South Brisbane, part of the celebrated South Bank precinct. With a large 293 reviews behind its 2.9 rating, it's a well-established spot.
The appeal is a relaxed cafe stop in a lovely area — somewhere to settle in for a coffee, a bite and a catch-up, a handy spot near the South Bank parklands and the cultural precinct. Its location makes it an easy and welcoming stop.
Cafe menus, specials and trading hours change over time, and it can get busy at peak times. If you're after a particular dish or specific opening hours, it's worth confirming the current details directly with the cafe before you head over.
