"Robust from the first sip, full body, sits heavy through the middle. Logan Road local that earns its score."

Woolloongabba is one of the most consistent coffee suburbs in Brisbane. A 6.7/10 average across 7 cafes with no genuine duds. It does not have a headline 8, but it has the highest floor of any suburb on this list. Brown Dog Cafe (7.3) leads with robust full bodied espresso. Vacancy Coffee (7.1) is reliable and repeatable. You can walk into almost any cafe here and drink well. The Gabba is Brisbane's floor not ceiling suburb: no 7.5, but no landmines either.
