Why it's worth checking out
The Java Lounge is a much-loved Paddington cafe, with a 4.2-star average from more than 240 reviews.
The relaxed spot — sofas inside and outdoor tables — serves salads, bagels and breakfast fare, the kind of easygoing, all-rounder cafe that draws a loyal crowd. The strong feedback backs it up.
Paddington is one of Brisbane's most characterful inner-west neighbourhoods, easy to reach. The Java Lounge suits a relaxed brunch, a casual lunch or a coffee on the sofas — and it's busiest, and at its best, through the morning.
