New Day Cafe

New Day Cafe is a Milton, Brisbane cafe with a broad menu built around toasted bagels, burgers, sides, desserts and drinks. The menu covers quick breakfast-style choices as well as more substantial lunch options, with online ordering and pickup available from Shop 14/1 Park Road.

Bagels are a major focus. The Brekky Bagel combines egg, American cheese, bacon and sweet tomato relish, while the Reuben brings together pastrami, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, pickles and seeded mustard. Other options include smoked salmon with chive and caper cream cheese, roast chicken with salad ingredients and cheddar, and a veggie combination of avocado, grilled halloumi, sun-dried tomatoes, greens and balsamic drizzle. There is also a chicken shawarma bagel with spiced chicken, pickles, garlic sauce, lettuce and tomato.

The burger menu ranges from a straightforward cheeseburger and Supreme Burger to the Aussie Deluxe, which includes grilled pineapple, bacon, cheese, fried egg and salad ingredients. The Halloumi & Avo Burger offers a meat-free combination of avocado, grilled halloumi and hash brown, while the Veg Burger uses a plant-based patty. Meals can be paired with a side and drink, and the sides include fries, cheesy fries, hash browns, nuggets, mozzarella sticks and the more indulgent Loaded Filthy Fries with patty, bacon, cheese, pickles and burger sauce.

For something sweet, the selection includes baklava, a range of loaded slices, a chocolate hazelnut cookie, rice pudding and the Mama Mia Sweet Bagel with a choice of peanut butter and strawberry jam or Nutella. The Apple Crumble Slice is identified as gluten free. With its mix of filling bagels, burgers, plant-based choices, sides and desserts, New Day Cafe suits solo takeaway stops, casual catch-ups and groups looking for different types of food from the same menu. The website does not provide detail about the venue’s interior, seating or the people behind the cafe, so its offering is best judged through the extensive online menu.
