Table 26 Chermside

Table 26 Chermside is a cafe built around bringing people together, whether that means a casual breakfast with friends, a weekend brunch with family or a quick coffee break. Its menu is described in broad terms rather than through named dishes, with hearty breakfasts, lighter lunches, sweet treats and a dedicated kids’ menu. The cafe also says it caters to a range of dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free requirements, with staff available to discuss individual needs.

Families are particularly well catered for at the Chermside location. A secure, gated play area gives children room to play while parents enjoy their meal, making the cafe a practical option for a relaxed outing with young children. The space is designed to support shared meals and conversation, rather than simply being a place to stop for coffee. It may also suit friends meeting for brunch or solo visitors looking for a casual cafe break.

Table 26 Chermside is also set up for diners who want to bring their pets. Its alfresco area welcomes four-legged companions, with water bowls and a dog menu available for pets. That makes it a useful choice for a low-key meal where the whole household can come along, although the website’s pet-friendly details specifically relate to the outdoor area.

The cafe’s name carries a personal story. Amit and his father, Michael, opened their first cafe together in 2003 and had hoped to open another before Michael died in 2009. Table 26 was named for Michael’s birthday, and a table is permanently reserved in his honour. The business says his warmth, friendliness and commitment to customers continue to shape its approach to hospitality, with an emphasis on welcoming service and a strong connection to the local community. Table 26 Chermside’s Google rating is 4.6 from 227 reviews.
