Why it's worth checking out
The Thistle is a standout New Farm cafe, with an exceptional 4.9-star average from more than 50 reviews.
A rating that high points to a place that really gets coffee and hospitality right — the kind of welcoming, consistent spot that quickly turns first-timers into regulars.
New Farm is one of Brisbane's most charming inner-city neighbourhoods, easy to reach. The Thistle suits a quality coffee, a casual brunch or a catch-up — and it's busiest, and at its best, through the morning.
