The Artist Cafe & Gallery

The Artist Cafe & Manach Gallery is a surprising green oasis in Brisbane's northern suburbs. Mitchelton's historic Salvation Army Church has been transformed into a spacious cafe, art gallery and eclectic function space with original artworks spread throughout the venue ranging from full length canvases to other mixed media pieces.

The garden features a large outdoor seating area with statues and bird baths dotted beneath shady palm trees. Part training centre for budding hospitality students, lunch at the cafe includes fresh salads as well as a range of wraps and toasted sandwiches.

The Artist Cafe & Manach Gallery serve Aromas coffee, tea, frappes, juices and smoothies and has an abundant sweets counter filled with house baked chocolate brownies, orange and almond cakes, lemon meringue tarts and sticky date puddings.

In a nutshell: Community based cafe, art gallery and function space serving breakfast and lunch from one of Mitchelton's classic historic buildings.

Nice to know: Funds raised at The Artist Cafe & Manach Gallery directly benefit The Ablecare Foundation, supporting people with disabilities in the local community.
