Musketeers Cafe

MUSKETEERS CAFE HAS PERMANENTLY CLOSED.

Musketeers is bright and cheerful cafe housed in a stunning, historic shop in the heart of Woolloongabba, serving locally roasted coffee by Parallel Roasters along with delicious all-day breakfast fare.

Nestled on Stanley Street, the character-filled cafe features exposed brick walls, polished floorboards, and soaring ceilings in the front half, with an additional two dining spaces where customers can enjoy breaky and an expertly brewed cup of coffee.

At the rear of the building, you'll find a spacious, light-filled room, as well as a smaller room. This cosy space is equipped with a comfy couch, chairs and a book library. 

The all-day menu features a selection of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free fare, from sliced avo on sourdough with dill and lemon cashew cheese, and The Benny (poached eggs or polenta eggs with smokey eggplant bacon, fresh spinach and vegan dill hollandaise on sourdough) to Spinach Savoury Crepes - roasted heirloom tomatoes, pickled onion, coconut labneh, sumac, aioli and smoked almonds.

Sweet tooths can savour Toffee Apple Fritters with maple vanilla coconut yoghurt mousse, or Banana Bread French Toast with salted caramel, toasted coconut, stewed rhubarb, fresh strawberries and vanilla oat ice cream. 

Lunch options, available after 10:30am, include a Crunch Burrito Bowl, Roasted Broccoli Steak, and Pulled Smokey Jackfruit Burger loaded with spinach, purple cabbage slaw, and sriracha aioli on a brioche bun served with sweet potato fries. 

If you're in need of a treat, there's a cabinet filled with sweet delights such as passionfruit, caramel or custard tarts, as well as vegan, raw treats by Sweet Nectar - think Ferrero Rawcher, White Chocolate Raspberry slice and Snickerz Crunch Cups.

Besides coffee, there are teas by the Tea Collective, hot chocolate, chai, milkshakes, smoothies, Hrvst St juices, Somersault organic sodas and kombucha.   

Musketeers celebrates local artists and makers with a curated selection of handcrafted items for sale, from greeting cards and prints, bath and body products, candles and ceramic pieces, to pretty hand-painted plant pots. Plus, there's a pantry where patrons can purchase locally made jams, chutneys and relishes by Stone & Lea, pickled cucumbers by Brisbane Pickle Co, Bee One Third honey, Heirloom chocolate and more.
