Piccolo By Her

Piccolo By Her is a cafe on the corner of Wandoo and Ann Street in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, offering dine-in and pick-up. Its menu covers coffee, tea, cold drinks, juices, smoothies, all-day food and a substantial selection of baked treats, making it suited to a quick coffee stop, a casual breakfast or lunch, or picking up something sweet.

Coffee is a clear focus, with Campos beans available across espresso drinks including flat whites, cappuccinos, lattes, long blacks, piccolos and batch brew. The menu also includes less usual options such as magic, dirty chai and matcha lattes made with ceremonial-grade matcha from Uji, Japan. For warmer days, there are iced coffee drinks, cold drip coffee, iced matcha, fruit-based matcha combinations and house-made forest berry iced tea. Tea drinkers can choose from options including Earl Grey, English Breakfast, jasmine, peppermint, sencha and lemongrass and ginger.

Food ranges from simple toast with spreads, fruit toast, banana bread and Bircher muesli to more substantial choices such as smashed avocado on sourdough, a breakfast burger, bacon and egg wrap, sausage and egg muffin, toasted sandwiches and filled rolls. The cabinet-style selection includes caramel slice, peanut butter brownie, muffins, danishes, croissants and raisin scrolls, although the website notes that some items may sell out. Families are catered for with babyccinos, puppuccinos and kids’ milkshakes, while dairy-free smoothie choices include banana, cinnamon and honey with almond milk, a green fruit-and-vegetable blend, and strawberry and mango. Pick-up orders are available from the Fortitude Valley location until 2:45pm, according to the website.
