Balance & Blend Café

Balance & Blend in Coorparoo is a casual, chic café offering delicious all-day brunch along with excellent coffee and a selection of fine wine from the Granite Belt.

A sibling for Balancing Heart Vineyard in Wyberba (30 min drive from Stanthorpe) in the Southern Downs region, Balance & Blend is a café/satellite cellar door where customers can pick up a nice bottle of handcrafted red or white wine while brunching. 

The concise all-day brunch menu includes breakfast faves, from eggs (scrambled or poached) on toast, to eggs Benedict with your choice or ham, bacon or mushroom, and sliced avocado on sourdough with feta, pepitas and balsamic glaze.

Sweet tooths are catered for with a French toasted croissant served with vanilla ice-cream, maple syrup and seasonal berries. Or indulge with one of the café's delightful sweet treats - Mango Weis slice, Snickers Crunch or Lemon Tart, to name a few. 

Lunch, served from 11am, includes fresh sandwiches and toasties such as an Avocado Melt (open toastie with avo, mozzarella, basil pesto and sundried tomato on sourdough), as well as B&B chicken or B&B Angus beef burger served with fries.

The café is child-friendly with a kids menu consisting of bacon and egg on toast, mini French toast or coconut yoghurt bowl served with a sprinkle of granola and fresh fruit salad. 

There are two coffees on pour including a B&B blend and Colombian single origin. Besides coffee, there are loose leaf teas, hot chocolate, spiced chai latte, cold pressed juices, frappes and milkshakes.
