My partner and I recently held our engagement party at Pawpaw Cafe in their function space and we could not recommend this venue enough! We originally loved Pawpaw for their amazing breakfast but will now be back for their lunch and dinner. If only I had more events to organise! All of our guests commented on how delicious the food was and the banquet happily fed a group of 40 people with heaps left over. Kaela and Kayley looked after us all on the day and the service was excellent. Super lovely ladies and so helpful. They made a big event feel relaxed and took the pressure off of us. They also helped remind us as the day went along when things had to happen and we had plenty of time to enjoy the whole event. We asked for the elopement styling as well which just made the whole room so beautiful and well presented. Such a lovely space! A big thank you to Mel, the functions and catering coordinator, for bringing everything together and helping us book in such a memorable engagement party! A dream come true :)

Amazing food, well balanced and tasty. Teas are all loose leaf and the signature hash is expertly cooked. The eggs have runny yolks, and the mix of the avocado, Halloumi, dukkah and lime work well. I loved the macaroni and cheese croquette (it's not what you expect), it had some spice to it, which made it taste a lot lighter. The eggs were well cooked and the sauce was good. Highly recommend this cafe. Come early as it gets busy. Not much parking around either.

l. e.

Quality of food, dining and service are high up there with my expectations being met! Such a lovely vibe and all of the art work in the cafe is stunning. Freshly baked goods on show as soon as you walk in catch your eye and I had to get some. The food was delicious, so many flavours in one dish alone, absolutely loved it!

C. A.

Excellent service and ambience. The food looks amazing but is not as good as it looks. There is room for improvement. The pancakes were nice but I wouldn't return for them specifically. The ham & cheese croissant I'm guessing was reheated in a microwave due to the consistency of the croissant. If it wasn't I'm not sure what they did there. My friend didn't enjoy her burger. The coffee is excellent. The donut was delicious. Worth going and eating there but the food looks better than it tastes. Looking at my review, maybe they are better at sweet stuff compared to savoury?

We started last Saturday right by having breakfast at PawPaw. It’s such a vibrant venue with friendly service and an electric atmosphere. My friend’s Benedict croissant looked sensation and my mushroom croquettes were delicious. Also, how can you not give five stars when they put real chocolate shavings on top of your cappuccino?

l. s.

Friendly and efficient service. Good ambience. The food was excellent. Rear parking and street-side parking available. Better to call and make a booking seems to be busy even though we got a walking table.

E. M.

My wife & I loved everything about Pawpaw Cafe! The atmosphere was nice and food was amazing! The food had some really good Asian infused flavours. (The only small gripe my wife had was the size of the chai latte for a large. It didn't really feel like a large for the price).

J. H.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Pawpaw Cafe in April 2022. A big thank you to Mel, Kayley, Kat and the rest of the team who look after us on the day! They have done an absolutely wonderful job and we have a lot of positive feedback from our guests. We wouldn't have done this without the team at Pawpaw and special thanks to Mel who assisted us throughout the whole planning stage, including all those last minute changes. Thank you team!

T. N. (.

The food was alright, not bad but not amazing. The mushroom croquettes were a bit salty in my opinion. The fish in the fish taco and the popcorn chicken were dry. Service was good though, very friendly staffs. It was a busy Friday lunch but the foods were being served promptly.

V. P.

Utterly delicious food and fun night out with our family! Here are a few pics. Excellent service too. A must visit venue for 2022!

j. b.

My son had the beef burger, he enjoyed the burger but wow! $20 is expensive, no fries just the burger. I had the spring rolls and fish tacos, the spring rolls were bland the tacos were nice but in all honesty I was expecting a little more wow factor. Maybe it depends what you order from the menu.

m. m.

Good vibe about the place. Thanks to 'Boss Lady' for the friendly, prompt service on food and drinks. The mushroom dish was delish, while the hash was flash. Plenty busy so book in advance. Parking on side street or behind shop.

Paw Paw cafe is located in the busy area of Woolloongabba near the Gabba stadium. The cafe provides a beautiful variety of delicious brunch items and nicely spaced seatings. The staff are always friendly. They also have a appetising asian kitchen at their other location. You can also book for private events. I definitely recommend trying their signature hash brunch menu item it is always my go-to. • paw paw’s signature hash • croissant eggs benedict • croissant eggs benedict + potato hash

E. N.

We had a private function at Paw Paw and couldn’t have been happier with how it went. From the pre event communication with Mel to the actual event on the day coordinated by Kayley, I would recommend this space to anyone. Fabulous banquet, free flowing drinks and exceptional service. You get the entire private space and we had the photo booth and styling included. Perfect for a bridal lunch. Can’t wait for my next excuse to host an event here.

M. P.

The food was delicious! They had a pop up bakery which was cute. We ate the eggs your way (scrambled) and the Shakshuka which were both enjoyed greatly. The staff were attentive and polite. The decor and atmosphere was lovely. I would recommend booking online, it was very easy and efficient and it looked like there was a few people waiting to get in when we left.

S. P.

Lovely Cafe with delicious breakfast food. Absolutely yummy 😋 Ordered takeaway donuts for the rest of the family who loved them.

E. K.

We had sooo many kinds of food. All the food was so delicious. I found this place is so cozy and beautiful. Service was impeccable and all the staffs were smiley. Definitely will come back and highly recommend. Went here recently again. Still so good. Mushroom falafel one was impressive. If you are mushroom lover, you should try this!

T.

Paw Paw is highly reviewed on Google and with good reason. Great decor when you first walk in and the utilized what looks like their function space to be additional seating for general service but it didn't feel detached from everything else and it was beautiful (love the flower installation in the middle of the room). I ordered an oat latte and it came out nice and hot, and I also had the Avocado Dreams * (VGO) Smashed avocado, beetroot purée, whipped goats cheese, white truffle oil, macadamia crumb, crispy kale, sourdough Mine was missing the whipped goats cheese but I tried it before saying anything and the flavours were perfectly balanced without it so it was great. The sourdough was very soft so it was crunchy and creamy and the macadamia was a nice surprise for what you expect from a smashed avo. The service was warm and very quick, and for solo dining it was an all around pleasant experience. 9/10!

N. A.

Great food great service. If it was near from where we live, I will brunch there every weekend, but it’s a bit of a drive but don’t mind it every month or so. Service is good as well and all staff are very accommodating and welcoming, which makes the experience even better.

J. B.

Unreal breakfast menu, although the lunch menu had me wishing I was there past 11am. Finish off with a takeaway jam donut and you’re laughing

S. V.

My friend and I celebrated our birthdays here together for breakfast and we absolutely enjoyed it. There's a great variety of vegan/vegetarian choices and the staff were very accommodating to everyones preferences. The lovely staff also surprised us at the end of our meal (see photo).

M.

Lovely staff. Had the signature hashbrown dish, good presentation but flavour is just average.

T. B.

The crispy pork belly with coconut rice was one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. The service was great, the atmosphere was nice, the portions were generous, and the food tasted amazing. My only qualm is that I can't get this delivered to my house because I want to eat it all the time. So good.

H. K.

We used Pawpaw cafe as our location for a work Christmas party. The food was outstanding and the service by Nut, Kaela & Marina was absolutely exceptional. The food servings were extremely generous, we even got to take left overs home! They were very accommodating for different food and drink preferences. It is a great atmosphere in there, and the staff had a great day at Pawpaw. I would very highly recommend Pawpaw cafe, and we will definitely be back again!!

J. H.

The food was great, absolutely loved their menu. Staff are friendly, and the café has a nice vibe. Only issue is that they don't allow split payments - their reasoning is that it slows down the checkout experience, but honestly I've never had an issue with split group payments anywhere else. Seems a bit backwards in 2022 to not offer something so fundamental.

M. A. T.

My partner and I are their biggest fans. Our top go-to place when we have our weekend brunch and with every visit (for a few years now), their food never disappoint. My partner’ favourite is their Fish Tacos. He hasn’t got over how perfect and simple a dish like that can be and refused to order anything else. I love to mix it up and try different food on the menu and love everyone one of them. Hard to choose a favourite!! 🥰❤️ You must make Pawpaw Cafe the go-to place for brunch, lunch or dinner. Everything about them is fantastic and their team is so lovely. Always smiling, always happy to be there, the vibes and feel of everything that’s Pawpaw cafe is uplifting and positively welcoming. Big hugs to everyone at Woolloongabba team - you guys are phenomenal! 🤗😘

N. F.

Had my wife's 40th Birthday here. Food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Favourite dishes was the beef Massaman and padthai. Perfect for the amount of guest we invited. Thankyou Melanie for doing such a great job in helping organising our function here at Pawpaw Cafe and for good communication skills via email.

C. B.

Just cannot get enough of Pawpaw Cafe. Every time I have been here I left satisfied with a huge smile on my face. Friendly staff that are always very welcoming. The coffee is deliciously extracted every single time. The dishes are extravagant with huge portions. Each dish is there for a reason and oh so very tasty. With that they even serve mimomas. What more can you ask for from a cafe.

F. i. B.

This cafe is located in Woolloongabba, next to the main road. It's quite spacious and has a nice ambience inside with all the lighting and decor. It's not easy to find parking so driving there isn't the best idea but who knows, you might get lucky 😂 My favourite dishes were parmesan gnocchi and the signature hash! Although I do love popcorn chicken I feel like this one was a bit too salty. The fish tacos were great too! I would probably try the parmesan gnocchi again 🥰 I enjoyed the Tiramisu Croffle, even though I’m not a huge coffee person. The Biscoff French Toast also had a coffee ice cream topping (which I actually liked) and it tasted quite good! I liked the caramelised banana too 😌 Definitely recommend visiting if you haven't been there yet!

M. H.

Lovely service. Food was fancy. Coffee was fine.

D. S.

Delicious food and fantastic coffee! Booked in for brunch and the place was at it’s capacity. As soon as we were seated, we were prompted to order our drinks which came out quickly. The coffee was on point! Breakfast was served not long after ordering and it was packed with flavours. It tasted so good and the portion was perfect. The staff were very friendly and were very attentive. They checked in often, asked if we wanted more drinks and topped up our water - absolutely great service. We can’t wait to come back again!

Caught up with some friends and our party of 6 shared 7 dishes so we could try them all: * Pawpaw’s signature hash, $22 - potato hash, poached eggs, turmeric hummus, smashed avocado, haloumi, beetroot relish & dukkah * fish tacos, $22 - crumbed local barramundi, Asian slaw, Japanese mayo, sambal, Thai laab spices & coriander * spring mushroom croquettes, $24 - mixed mushroom, poached egg, avocado, romesco, kale, feta & pepita * housemade parmesan gnocchi, $23 - mixed mushroom, kale, black garlic, poached egg & gouda cheese * Biscoff French toast, $23 - Biscoff custard, caramelised banana, Biscoff soil & coffee ice-cream * chilli popcorn chicken, $16 - with Thai laab spices, lime & mayo * tiramisu croffle (weekend special), $22 - croissant x waffle with textures of coffee Apart from the popcorn chicken which I found quite average, and the tiramisu croffle which is a non-starter for me cos I'm not a fan of coffee flavours, I found the rest of the dishes all pretty solid. If anything I'd maybe pick the hash or tacos as slight favourites. All up pretty good value at $26 per head for food. I'm still not into western breakfast foods but no regrets about trying it out and I'm happy to recommend it for café style breakfast/brunch dishes if that's what you're after. Would be keen to try one of the curries from their lunch menu though - that stuff is more up my alley! Notes: * one bill per table (they can provide change) * card surcharge applies * bookings recommended as it gets busy * parking can be tricky to find, so allow time for that if driving * their customer service game is noticeably strong at all stages before, during, and after the booking we had

B. T.

A busy and popular venue. Location is in a busy street, with a somewhat quite side street. Food was good but the location was a negative for me.

J. S.

Amazing food, came out quickly and was nice and hot. Huge portion sizes. I had the fish tacos and couldn’t eat it all. Great atmosphere

G. K.

We had our company Christmas party at Pawpaw on Friday night and we couldn't have asked for better. The function room was nice and private, the food was beautiful, the setting great - enough room to stand & mingle, but also enough seating to ease our tired feet in high heels. The photo booth was an absolute hoot and the service from Marina & Zoe was fantastic. Thank you so much for putting up with our rowdy bunch & we will be recommending you to all & sundry. Congrats Mel on a great team.

C. H.

I had my baby shower at Pawpaw cafe. The room is beautiful, bright and air conditioned (just what I needed being pregnant in summer). The food and cocktails (mocktails for me) were amazing! Mel my event organiser made everything so easy and there was no stress at all. It is a beautiful place for an event and would recommend it to anyone!

P. S. (.

Great food, friendly staff

A. N.

3.75 stars - have been here a few times and the coffee is always made well. The menu is on the expensive side. Service was lovely. We tried the: ☆ Fish Tacos - standard dish. The fish wasn't dry, texture was nice and fluffy. The mayo isn't evenly distributed so it is a bit bland in some parts ☆ Biscoff French toast - would recommend sharing as it is a very heavy and super sugary dish. There's a lot of sweet elements going on with not much to balance out the flavours. The coffee icecream and caramelised banana didn't go well together. I love biscoff but this was not for me

M. H.

Held my mum's 6oth bday celebration here and it was amazing! The food was great and the venue was super nice. The team (Melanie and Marie) were super helpful - couldn't rave about the service even more. All our guests had the most amazing time and will happily do future events here!

J. C. (. F.

Over the past two years this has become my favourite restaurant. Everything is incredible to eat. The beef cheeks are the best massaman curry I have ever had. Highly recommended

M. J.

Paw paw private function room was the perfect venue for our intimate engagement party. The food was delicious, there were so many great options to choose from and the dessert was to die for. Mel did an amazing job organising the night and all the catering. And the girls Zoe & Kaela were so lovely and made the night run so smoothly. I would highly recommend this venue.

C. H.

Love this restaurant! The food, staff & atmosphere is incredible!! We have been to a few of their all you can eat bao bun and all you can eat taco nights and they are without a doubt the best in all of Brisbane! We love, love, LOVE!!

C. C.

This. Place. Is. Exquisite! Everything about this is 5 stars! The food was incredible, the staff were so accomodating (we didn’t have a booking and they managed to get us in with a very short wait). The seating is arranged with customer comfort in mind and very spacious. My favourite part is the all day breakfast! The gluten free options are impressive. All staff were really happy and genuinely seemed to enjoy being there. Bookings are a must! They turned about 15-20 people away due to being full.

M. R.

I had my daughter's 1st birthday party at Paw Paw Cafe function room and the whole event was flawless! The food was absolutely amazing and the staff were a delight to work with. Thank you Annaliese and Kaela for looking after us on our special day. Thank you Mel for making the event exactly how we wanted it. The atmosphere and ambiance was incredible and the guests could not stop raving about how incredible the event was! I also loved how any left over food was packed away neatly for us, we felt like we didn't even have to lift a finger and were able to completely enjoy the event and be present in the moment. We will definitely be back for future events and so will our guests!

S. E.

Food was good however we were seated right in the walkway and near the pay counter. We didn't feel it was very socially distanced. The tasty treats on the counter next to the register looked delicious however were uncovered and saw two people cough near them so didn't get any for takeaway. We were overcharged for two hot beverages and whilst it's only a dollar each drink, it's annoying when we specifically mentioned to the lady when we payed. The lady seating us was polite. Drinks were delivered to our table half way through eating our meals. We would return however we would book a table in the section next door. Parking is on street which can be difficult at busy times however it's doable.

F. S. N.

A gorgeous place to meet for casual or fancy dinning.. lunch, breakfast, dinner or a special event. We caught up this time for a ladies lunch - it was perfect in every way. The food was amazing - we had the nourish bowl and the curries - all amazing and some! Any the drinks - alcoholic and non (the matcha latte is sooo good!)

a. g.

We dropped in for breakfast on the busy first morning of the first test match in Brisbane. Good food and good service gave us a great start to the day. One of our group commented -"Have a look around, everyone of their staff has a big smile on their face - they all look happy. You don't see that too often!!" Pretty much sums up the morning.

K. C.

I had my 30th birthday here in the function room! Absolutely incredible service on the night from Mel and Rachel. So many compliments from guests about the room itself and the delicious food!

D. K.

The ambiance was great. Five of the 7 of us ordered the fish tacos, which were nice but the fish was a little dry. One friend said the truffle burger was amazing and the other enjoyed the Banh mi. However unfortunately the bookings are only 90 min which meant just as we were thinking of dessert our waitress informed us they had another party booked. Which is in the booking details however I think I would only come back if we could stay longer than 90 min.

P. L.

Love that place, especially their cold brewed coffee with a large ice ball (how do they make it???). Please, keep in mind, as it is, probably, the best cafe in the area, there's no chance to get inside on Sat/Sun in the morning without bookings :-)

T. T. T.

Will definitely be back for more. Pawpaw Cafe made it onto our best coffee list, YAY. The coffee was a delicious kick to the day, and with the decor of the place made us feel at home and cozy with the rain at the time. Food, on the pricey side but made up for it with the amazing taste of every bite. Recommended for one of the best cafes

K. P.

Seamless table reservation over the phone. Street parking. Quick, competent, friendly service by staff. Iced matcha was good volume, refreshing. Eggs Benedict with bacon was tasty, good portion. Signature Hash was visually appealing. Secluded table area was appreciated. Pleasant room temperature, well-aired. Accommodated bill split in half. Clean.

E. L.

Today we got the Croissant Eggs Benedict with soft bacon (cos it tasted better soft of course 🤭) and the Fish Tacos 🐟 🌮. It didn't look huge but boy it was very filling and tasted good to. Fish had a light, crispy coating and the cabbage + mayo was an excellent combination to go with it 🤤 . Oh yeah and we ordered a side of vegan spring rolls. These were surprisingly stand out for us class she filling had lots of vermicelli and shitake mushrooms, very yummy 👍🏼👌🏼 . Love coming here, warm vibes, great environment and friendly staff. . The food tastes great, the probs area generous and prices are very reasonable . 👍🏼 . Definitely be coming back

B. F.

This was my first visit to Pawpaw with 6 of my family members and we loved it! The service was amazing, food so lovely and a really nice atmosphere. Their unique print coffees are great fun too! Thank you to Kat who really looked after us and went above and beyond with service - would definitely recommend!

F. A.

Finally got a chance to visit this amazing and oh so beautiful cafe. We were so lucky to get one of the best tables in the cafe. The staff were so lovely and attentive and of course the food was great. I can totally see what the fuss is about. We started with a very beautiful Acai Bowl. I still can’t get past how pretty it was and it was a huge serving too so come with a empty tummy. The kids pancakes were amazing and very generous portion size as well and oh so fluffy. Had very happy kids at our table. The bao buns and the tacos are another must try dishes that you won’t be disappointed with. Also if you get a chance, check out the beautiful artwork on the side of the cafe. Got my attention straightaway and just had me hooked in every possible way. Food of course is incredible. Service is beautiful and the entire place is immaculate. Can’t wait to return.

H.

The food and service is always amazing here. Such a great place for a casual dinner with friends and family. We particularly love the share plates. Never disappoints.

M. S.

The service was exceptional and the food was perfect. Beautifully presented and the taste was outstanding. A really nice setting also, would highly recommend paw paw.. PERFECT in every way.

N. N.

Had a function here on the weekend and the room was lovely. Mel did a great job organising everything which made the day run very smoothly. The food was delicious and everyone left very full. Marina looked after the group on the day and was super lovely to all the guests.

B. M.

I recently had my baby shower at Paw Paw in their function room, from the moment I booked to the moment my even finished I was ecstatic at the quality of service and ease of planning an event. All my guests didn’t lack on telling me how good the food and the venue itself were! On the day of the event, Marina and Zoe were such a big help with set up and service. Very prompt and accommodating to all my guests. Plus the ease of having sweets and pastries through Darvella Patisserie was such a good addition. Now I’m trying to find excuses to have another event at Paw Paw… Highly recommend!!!!

M. G.

We went to Paw Paw yesterday for lunch and it was really nice. Food was really good, decent portions and good quality food. Very good service too. I had the jackfruit tacos which I’d highly recommend. Will visit again.

N. M.

Drinks came quickly and food even quicker. Very fresh and tasty! Staff are all polite and friendly. Location is central but their parking is nonexistent. So allow plenty of time to find a park, before your booking. Only thing I don't like is how they keep changing their menu. Consistency is key, people, lol!

E. C.

If you are thinking of having a function at PawPaw, don’t think any longer and just book! 5 stars! I cannot fault the whole experience. Mel’s communication, organisation, and execution of our function was 100%. On the day we were well looked after by Maddy & Kat who were on top of everything. The food, well… we all know how good the food is at PawPaw is, it never disappoints. All of my guests complimented how delicious the food was but they also noted how great the staff are and the venue itself. Do yourself a favour and have your next function here!

S. G.

Lovely looking cafe, very nice staff and varied flavoursome menu. They were also happy to accommodate some slight changes to both our meals to better align to our tastes. We didn’t try the awesome sounding pancakes but will when feel we can justify the calories!!

C. P.

Love their breakfast but the dinner was disappointing overall. Over-priced and under-sized; a couple of dishes were soy sauce heavy and lacking the authentic Thai flavours.

S. R.

Lovely food and attentive staff. Really enjoyed our meal here. The meal sizes are very generous, so beware! Will be back again :)

C. G.

Everything we had here was delicious, as always, and staff are delightful, but everything is just that little bit overpriced. $6.50 for a chai latte to me is a bit much, admittedly with alternative milk. However, with the number of people who use alternative milk these days I no longer believe $1 for a splash of oat milk is acceptable. I could buy a litre from a supermarket for that price.

L. Y.

Visited on Friday night with friends in town for the weekend after numerous recommendations from workmates. Did not disappoint - great atmosphere and flavour filled dishes to share made for a wonderful evening!

K. S.

Absolutely loved this place. 5 star for cleanliness, customer service, food and internal venue design. I went there for brunch, I had Pawpaw signature hash, the food was so good!!! Thank you!!!

S. R.

I had my baby shower at Paw Paw cafe and I was so so happy!!! Firstly the food and event space was amazing, the had so many different options for the event. They were fantastic at confirming all my requirements of my event and executed perfectly. Everyone loved the photo booth and the bar tab catered for so many different drinks. Everyone raved about the food and they catered for all different dietary requirements! I got great value for money!! They also created a Covid safe plan. Very very impressed and I HIGHLY recommend.

J. W.

I had my 21st at Pawpaw and would definitely recommend it. Their function room was decorated beautifully and the food was amazing. Zoe and Marina were lovely and so helpful on the night. Melanie organised the event for me and I couldn’t have been happier with her communication and professionalism. Having the slushie machine and private bar was amazing. Excited to book another event there in the future

H. B.

Pawpaw is my local go to cafe when I don’t want to risk a new cafe. So far I can say it is the best around for food quality. My favourite thing to get is the mushroom croquette dish. It’s so well balanced and the perfect portion size. But I also love everything on their lunch menu and their herbed fries ( large portion size) Service is usually pretty good, however, this place does get super busy so just be aware that it isn’t always the quickest. The coffee isn’t the best - lady marmalade still takes the cake on that one - but their coconut frappe is unique and amazing. Their little raw desserts in their cabinet are great for rounding off your experience. I have tried their chai salted caramel one and my goodness it just melts in your mouth!

A. J.

The best (and most consistently amazing) food in Brisbane. This is the place I bring everybody I want to impress!! Staff are amazing, food is unbelievably tasty and they cater so brilliantly for all sorts of dietary needs. The Malaysian curry with roti is ... i mean. Wow. Go eat it and thank me later.

r. h.

had my wonderful birthday at pawpaw， wonderful foods and services friendly staff and relaxing ambience！ a perfect fusion of Asian taste and western style food. All my guests enjoyed the foods so much!

C. M.

Delicious, fun and great service! The team only take reservations for large groups so best to arrive early to secure a table. They have heaps but they get busy! For brunch you have a choice of both the all day breakfast menu featuring the classics (eggs benny, pancakes) and from 11am there’s also the lunch menu which includes wagyu, pad Thai and bao. Coffee is consistent and a good blend. They also make turmeric chai which is amazing. I’ve come here a couple of times and it’s fast becoming my go-to catch up place.

J. L.

I had my baby shower at Paw Paw Cafe function room, Annaliese & Kaela looked after us and they were both so lovely, such phenomenal service. Thank you to them both for looking after us! The event was incredible and the guests were so happy. We loved the food Paw Paw Cafe provided, the Beef Slider with Cheddar, lettuce & Truffle Chilli mayo was such a hit with everyone!! Food was delicious!! Thanks again to the Paw Paw Cafe team!

T. D.

We recently hosted a function for 28 people at Pawpaw in their beautiful and private function room. Rachel and her team were incredible, they did everything possible to make the evening flow smoothly, working with our schedule seamlessly and providing exceptional service at all times. We were even able to provide our own Spotify playlist, which made the evening even more special. The food was incredible, all the guests commented on just how delicious it was and how the venue couldn't have been more perfect. Thank you so much to all the staff at Pawpaw, you made a memorable night easy, beautiful and tasty!

J. B.

Thank u all the staff at Paw Paw. We had my 60th Birthday here on 25th April & it was fabulous. The food was 2nd to none. It was fresh & hot. I'm sure if we had doubled the amount people would have kept eating it was that good. Christine on the night was run off her poor feet , doing the bar & bringing out the food ( definitely should have 2 people on from the time the function started) Christine did get help in the lovely form of Shannon, who was also run off her feet. Bless both of them. I would highly recommend Paw Paw for any kind of get together. We have had my daughter's baby shower also again fabulous. I would like to also Thank the chefs on the night. The event manager Melanie for providing the photo booth which was a great hit. Janet Bennis♥️💃♥️

M. M.

Food is beautiful. Price is decent. Not a cheap coffee shop but it's totally worth it for the ingredients' quality and guest's service is wonderful. Definitely will come back and highly recommended.

J. K.

Caught up with a friend and fellow Brisbane foodie. Based on his recommendations, we ordered a bunch of their breakfast items like Paw Paw’s Signature Hash, Cheddar Cheese Waffle Benny, and Chilli Popcorn Chicken, which we really enjoy. The presentation of the food was very appetising and what we love is the amount of healthy and vegan option items available in their menu. The staff also recommended us to try their ‘Ripple Printed Coffee’, which of course we just had to print our logo on it. The tech was super cool in that we just download the app and upload the image we want to have printed on our coffee. Ambience wise, nice bright dining space with a function room at the back and a chic hipster-ish wall art outside. Great place for a casual brunch.

I. P.

We hosted our engagement party in the function space and our guests LOVED the venue & the food. It was easy to deal with Pawpaw to organise the event + all our questions and needs were answered promptly. Racheal (who looked after us on the night) was a gem. She adjusted to our needs & requests and made sure everything was to our liking all night. The space is so beautiful, we didn't feel the need to add any decorations to it which made the event fuss & stress-free! Will definitely be booking for another event and go back to enjoy the regular menu on the restaurant side. A big thank you to all the event staff who made our night so special!

J. T.

Had a great experience hosting my private event at Pawpaw cafe! Mel made it very easy to organise everything for the day. Everyone loved the generous amount of food and drinks and I highly recommend this venue! Great service from the team, especially Zoe, and the chefs, thank you!

M. J.

The food was really good and we experienced exceptional customer service. The cafe has a nice vibe to it and is very clean and presentable. My only critique is that there could be a bit more variety on the menu

It’s a really instagrammable cafe. Not only does it has looks, the dishes are really special too. It has a great variety of dishes ranging from western to Asian fusion. We had brunch and dessert, both are equally good. Recommend hipsters to come

G. S.

This place is fantastic, including the service and the food!

A. A.

Highly recommend Paw Paw's private room. I've held two babyshowers there now and both experiences have been amazing. Most importantly stress free event. Mel, Nut & Marina were so friendly and helpful. Nut was especially accomodating to us and our guests, thank, you again.

K. K.

Went for breakfast. Atmosphere was good, very Hamptons style/tropical. Service was great, food and coffees were good. Breakfast menu wasn't large, but there was enough to choose from. Next time we'd probably wait for the lunch menu.

M. B.

Always an incredible breakfast experience at pawpaw!! This weekend we were served by the fabulous, Marina and she absolutely exceeded our expectations! Amazing service and simply the best way to start the weekend

L. M.

Great service, great flavours and very helpful staff! Catered for coeliac safe meal which is sometimes a challenge to find! Highly recommend

S. J.

Parking here is always a pain but worth it! On the weekend they put on an amazing spread of baked goods! The special this weekend was a croissant with fried eggs, slow cooked brisket and macaroni and cheese. Very decadent! Staff were super friendly and coffee and other beverages were perfect.

L. W.

I held an event for my business at Pawpaw a few nights ago. The food was delicious (as it always is), the room was set up beautifully and the team were so helpful both in the lead up to the event and on the night. If you're looking for somewhere to hold a function, I'd definitely recommend Pawpaw.

B. C.

Gee has this place changed. Revamped interior and the food is now sensational. Would recommend this for breakfast.

J. J.

Good coffee, everything was cooked well as described but I wasn't a fan of the sriracha hollandaise but the was no other option. Also having a croissant instead of sourdough on the Benedict wasn't a good idea.

P. P. (.

Have always enjoy coming here. Foods good. Service is ok and coffee is nice. Just beware of these colourful looking drink if you dont like tumeric but if your ok with it then try. The blue one’s alled mermaid latter and the pink one’s beetroot latte. I enjoyed the beetroot latte alot and also so instagram friendly atmosphere. This dish is the vegetarian gnocchi and i loved it. My friend said the smoothie was great too.

M. S.

The food was great here however if you are a coeliac or gluten intolerant be aware that there aren't too many substitutions and you end up getting less for a higher price. They do have many gluten free items on the list. The food I ordered because I wanted to try their signature potato Hash but as it was deep fried in the same oil as other gluten products I was not able to have it. I ended substituting it but still paid the same price. I was pretty disappointed that they were not able to pan fry the potato hash as it was ball shape. lol despite that, the food was tasty, and well presented. They are also able to cater to vegetarians and vegans with really delicious dishes to choose from. The restaurant was clean and there were lots of people there. people around us seemed to really enjoy themselves. The decor was beautiful and well thought out. The staff were really lovely and kind, and very attentive. I will definitely come back and fingers crossed there will be more gluten free options or substitutions available next time I come. Please check out @foodpimping on Instagram and/Facebook for more reviews.

M. B.

We had paw paw cater our workshop end-of-year celebration and Brisbane Neon Bus tour. Friday night and no time to eat before the get together so we had chicken bao buns, arancini rolls and veggie spring rolls. Our gluten free pack received a great response from our one gluten free diner. A perfect start to a great evening.

K. B.

Very busy. You must book a table, even for breakfast. It is worth a visit. We were impressed with their take on the smashed avo and eggs benny, a bit different but so yummy! Friendly staff. Clean. Relaxed atmosphere.

M. M.

There's a steady bustle of cars going past on the entrance to the Cafe, but as you open the front door to the Cafe, this is all left behind this is left behind at the doorstep. As the door softly closes, you will find yourself in tranquil, homely surrounds. The front room is warm and cosy, like coming home to a familiar friend. There are more cozy rooms extending off in various directions, all basking in the morning sunshine. The aroma of freshly made coffee fills the air. The waitstaff are attentive, whilst leaving you to enjoy the company you are in. I found myself tempted to try everything on the menu, as they offer great options for Coeliacs and Vegans too. I shall see you again soon my friend for another tantalising brunch or maybe a late lunch.

S. H.

As of June,2017 decreasing the review to 3 stars only. Went there for brunch the other day and while the ambience and crowd was pretty good, the quality of food has dropped from awesome to just okay. Some favourite menu items have also changed from brunch so yes was a bit disappointing this time. Earlier part of 2017: Went there for brunch the other day. The place was crazy busy, which is always a good sign. The service was quick and good. We ordered coffee and brunch and the food was amazing. One of the best brunches I have had. Will definitely come back again.

C. L.

This place was on the Urban List Brisbane 15 best breakfast spots, so we thought we would check it out on a Saturday morning. It was busy, but not too busy, and the staff were lovely. We had the corn fritters and signature hash cakes. The presentation was excellent and the flavours were ok, but not amazing. Happy to return because it is a nice place, but there are better places to bring mum for Mother’s Day.

J. L.

Amazing. Great meals! We had the popcorn chicken, Satay chicken and beef massaman to share between two. Well priced.

P. K.

I have been there twice and I have enjoyed it. The food is well presented and delicious! Highly recommended.

A. B.

Paw Paw hosted a surprise Bridal Shower for me, Melanie and the team were an absolute pleasure to work with and made the planning our the event a breeze. The day was perfect, food, service and staff could not be faulted. Thank you for making the day so special, would highly recommend to anyone wanting to book a function space.

R. C.

Came here for brunch and tried out the breakfast burger, really good burger with Halloumi. Would be nice if the burger came with complimentary fries or salad. Customer service is good, very friendly and welcoming.

B. B.

Great service but slow. The hash Benedict was excellent but the French toast was dry and lacked flavour in the actual bread. Coffee was good and presentation was stunning. The atmosphere of the place was really beautiful with great decoration and seating

C. L.

We came here for brunch and loved the food, service and atmosphere. Food was good quality and well executed and the brunch menu, though not large, was interesting and had a nice variety for different diets. Décor appeared to be a modern styling on British Colonial West Indies. Overall it's a little pricey but the food is delicious and the portions aren't measly so it's a good place to go if you want to treat yourself to a better than average brunch. Some nice twists on the old brunch classics such as Eggs Benedict with char siu instead of the usual ham/bacon which my partner thoroughly enjoyed and devoured in an instant. I had the Milanese Mushrooms which were a juicy variety of different mushrooms served with poached eggs and kale on toasted brioche - the mushrooms were delicious and had a lovely slightly balsamic taste, though the dish could have done with more of the kale. I also ordered an extra side of falafel with this which were nice and crispy though maybe a touch too herby. Our friends got the acai bowl, which was tasty, refreshing and quite large, and the breakfast pizza which they enjoyed. Only real criticism is that the water we were served was room temperature (warm) instead of cold which is not what you want on a hot summer's day in Brisbane. If they didn't have any refrigerated water available at the time, they could have thrown in a few ice cubes into our glasses which would have been nice. All in all I would certainly visit again and would recommend it if you're looking for good brunch.

H. C.

Wonderful service and beautiful food and drinks. Something for everyone with all dietary needs covered in their menu. Definitely a trusted Brisbane staple that continues to provide whether its brunch, a birthday party or corporate lunch.

E. Y.

Absolutely beautiful. Great atmosphere. Food incredible. No booking for breakfast and lunch, (walk ins only) so wait times can vary but definitely worth the wait. Cant wait to go back.

C. H.

Had brunch at Pawpaw and had a wonderful time! The atmosphere is fresh and tropical, the wait staff were quick and attentive and the coffee was great. I had the signature hash and enjoyed it a lot. The eggs were cooked perfectly and there was a generous amount of food. There were many other things on the menu that I will try next time too, as well as lunch and dinner! Parking can be challenging around the cafe, the car park was full when I arrived.

W. B.

Really nice place for a well above average breakfast. Little on the expensive side but there are options here you probably won't find elsewhere. Most meals are vegetarian as a base with add ons available. Great coffee and great service.

N. C.

We held our Xmas party on Sunday with Paw Paw in their function room and were blown away at the food, service and the venue, and all of our guests had a wonderful time! We had quite a few with allergies and they were all amazed and thankful that they were so well cared for, and we decided that for the first time ever eating out, our "special" food made the others jealous, now that's a first! :) Can I pay a particular compliment to Martha who ran our function and didn't stop all day getting everything for everyone, nothing was too much trouble, she is an absolute gem. And huge thanks goes to Melanie for organising our party and making sure every detail was perfect. Cannot recommend Paw Paw highly enough for their service, their value and the attractive venue. Thank you! Nicole Clark Events - IDA (Interior Design Association)

r.

Staff are very friendly. Food is really delicious my fav menu is mash room croquette!! Incredibly delicious!!

T. A.

Walked in without reservation, they had a table ready for us within 2 minutes. Amazing customer service, our orders were ready in about 10 minutes. Great food, big portions and good coffee. Would recommend.

I. Z.

Lovely cafe with a few vegan options. The food was good, but the vegan sweets were amazing! I recommend you try some of those delicious desserts on display!

R. L.

Late review for last Sunday- Valentine’s Day. The special latte art “I love you a latte” made my day, although I got rejected by the girl I had a crush on, I was ok since I knew love at the first sight could be misleading. The brunch here is also worth trying, everyone is nice. BTW, I thought it’s paw-paw, but it turned out to be pawpaw, still cute.

J. D. C.

I love coming here for Brunch, it has such a great vibe, the food is always delicious and the coffee is on point. It’s a great little neighbourhood cafe to meet up with friends.

T. C.

It was an absolutely delightful experience. A guest of ours found it on Buzzfeed, so it could have been hit or miss. DEFINITELY a hit! The coffee prints are a giggle! Food was great as well as service AND air con!!!!

L.

Had the best 40th birthday dinner celebrations at Pawpaw Café. We used their private function room for an intimate dinner! Not only did we receive exquisite tasting food (Chefs you rock), we also had the best friendly service - nothing was too much trouble. The venue allowed us to have our own musician & we could tailor the celebration which made it even more special. Massive shout out to Giorgina and her team for making the preparations so easy and the night so seamless and so much fun during a time of so much uncertainty. Highly recommend!!

A. P.

Never been for dinner here... But I'm glad I did. Nice variety of food, and still very tasty. I especially the wonton tacos. Definitely need to come back to try dessert or breakfast

C. N.

Well styled and homely. Great vibe, and the acai Granola they did was fantastic. The acai came out like a Mr whippy cone!

J. C.

This lovely brunch spot has a great aesthetic and is a nice location for hosting events. The food is always a little bit different to your regular breakfast options which I love.

O. R.

Recently moved to the area and a girlfriend introduced me to the place. A great range of dishes to choose from and they cater for various diets and intolerances such as vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free. It gets a bit noisy in there at the busier times of the day but the staff are lovely and attentive and the food is heavenly!

N. L.

Had the nasi Goreng. Packed with flavour. Plenty of street parking however can be hard to navigate when it's busy being inner city. Staff were attentive, menu had variety to catered for different tastes.

W. L.

Surprisingly beautiful area in the back of the cafe. Showed in quickly but it took a long time for someone to come and take my order, even though she was serving a table nearby. I had to walk up after 10 minutes to look for someone to come and take my order. The table was unclean (lots of crumbs & raw sugar and some powdery sticky film on the table but good food and interesting drinks. It was nice to see that there was a lot of buzz and many patrons inside on a Sunday at 2pm! Lots of Natural Light.

R.

Came to this cafe by chance as I in a nearby shop and next time I’ll be going by choice. Food was really delicious and beautifully presented. Menu choices were mouth watering and it was hard to decide what to choose so we did share plates. Definitely worth a visit.

T. T.

Not a brunch person as most places are mediocre and overrated but this is definitely one of the places that deserves its rating. Signature Hash is really good!

F. C.

Creative menu. Unusual take on some Asian classics. Had the chilli caramel waffle (with braised and deep fried pork). Impressed on the first bite - mostly by the unusual combination. But the sweetness got overwhelming pretty quickly. The environment was nice to chill and gather with friends. Most of the staff was friendly - except one. Also, I felt a little pushed when I was sent my bill, signaling for me to leave, about 20 min after finishing my meal. I was on my own occupying a small table, it wasn't at peak, and there wasn't a queue. Not exactly a nice way to end the visit.

E. F.

Delicious food and good service. Really good portion sizes too. I recommend the signature hash.

M. K.

What a delight! It's a keenly attended, well run, inviting place that serves really good food; we enjoyed the experience and would go back in a heartbeat- well done PawPaw!

E. W.

Quiet during a weekday lunch and not difficult to get staff attention. Atmosphere was nice with Thai inspired decor and dishes. Ordered an acai bowl which was good but would have preferred it less sweet due to the nature of ingredients.

C. D.

Both my friend and I enjoyed our breakfast very much! He had the signature hash and I had the mushroom croquettes, i would absolutely recommend both! Also the coffee is delicious.

J. I.

Great food and service. Kat was fab! I had the gnocchi from the new menu, and would definitely recommend. Great job guys, thank you!

M. C.

We had our simple wedding reception at Pawpaw Cafe just recently, and all hands down. From planning, up to the day itself, it all just went smoothly. We had a lot of complements from our guests how the functions was beautifully decorated, to the food we had, all was just beautiful. To Martha and Marina for the very good service, and to Mel who happily assisted us with our requests, you made our simple celebration beyond expectations. Kudos to the team!

H. P.

I organized a vegan banquet for 20 people at Pawpaw for a work function. Some colleagues were initially skeptical but game to try: it was a resounding success and a massive win for plant-based food! AMAZING dinner, great value and a lovely venue. Thanks very much.

C. R.

We recently had our daughters first birthday in the function space and we cannot recommend this place highly enough. The food was absolutely delicious! Mel, the events manager was great to work with and very prompt with responding to all our queries. She ensured the day would run smoothly for us, which it did. We had the lovely Kayley and Marina look after us on the day and they were super friendly and made sure to go out of their way to make our event special. The service was beyond our expectations. We'll definitely be back for more celebrations.

P. J.

Firstly, my partner and I have been to Paw Paw many times and regularly take visitors there. Normally as a last minute thing without bookings, and your staff are more than accommodating. Saturday night was no exception. We were able to make a booking (as nowadays with covid restrictions you have to) which we made about an hour before we arrived. The staff were fantastic as always, friendly, welcoming, courteous and had good attention to detail. The food was great as always. I'm glad you and the team were able to survive the lockdowns and the COVID situation and stay in business. All the best for your future.

M. N.

Very nice indeed, small menu but something for everyone, food was delicious, service was excellent, decor is lovely. Parking is limited.

G. P.

We held my friends hens party in the private dining room at Paw Paw Cafe. The evening was a huge success and everyone had a great time. The food was delicious and it made all the difference to have our own space, bar and music. The service on the night was fantastic, thanks to Rachel and Kaela. In the lead up to the event, Mel was fantastic in helping me organise all the details. I would definitely book another event at Paw Paw Cafe in future.

A. S.

Best brunch place we discovered in Brisbane!

A. T.

I love going to 'All you can eat Taco' night at Pawpaw. The staff are great, the food is great and just keeps coming until you are full. The tastiest tacos I have eaten anywhere. I love it.

T. K.

I recently had my 30th birthday at Pawpaw Woolloongabba. Melanie, the event coordinator was fantastic throughout the entire process and had excellent communication from the beginning of planning and right up to the event night. On the night, Racheal & Kaela were wonderful hosts/bartenders and continually checked in on what I wanted. Everyone commented how yummy the food was (we had the popcorn chicken, beef sliders and fish tacos). I adored the room, it came setup with pretty fairy lights which transformed the space (no other decorations required). We also had a photo booth included in our room hire which my guests enjoyed. Thank you Pawpaw for providing me with a lovely event :)

T. P.

I hosted my 25th birthday at Pawpaw Cafe over the weekend and everything exceeded my expectations! Melanie (event planner) was very reassuring and attended to all my needs regarding the night, she was extremely accomodating and friendly. She was open to all my suggestions and helped made the night great. Marina and Rachel were looking after us that night and they were so friendly and lovely! Their customer services was great and they were so prompt with the bar and were able to deliver whatever I wanted on the night. The food was one of the highlight of the night! All my guests were complimenting how good the food were. Overall, I was so pleased with how everything turned out and a huge thank you to the team who made the night run so smoothly. My guests and I had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend booking your next event here!

R. B.

Great food, service, and coffee. Easy to recommend. Proper table service! The eggs bene croissant was 🤤.

C. G.

What use to be a 5-star cafe has dropped, with food average and the attitude of staff having a negative effect on dining experience. Coffee is still consistently great. On a side note - It's really isn't difficult for cafes to offer split bills.

H. T.

Excellent food and service. We had a long waiting to be seated, however the staff was very friendly and apologetic. We also had free coffee in return, so that was very nice from them. I highly recommend this beautiful restaurant!

K. I.

Myself and My husband held our wedding reception at Paw Paw event space... Just WOW! AH-MAZING!!! We wanted an intimate but very classy reception and these guys absolutely delivered. From the organising of the date, to the styling of the tables, to the team and service on the night was five stars!! Our guests kept coming up to us during the night saying how amazing the food was, how amazing the service was and that they had an amazing night!! If you are looking for a business that delivers on quality, affordability and an amazing experience, I highly recommend!!

R. J.

Went there for all you can eat Bao night and have to say the value is absurd! $25 a head and I put away 14 delicious baos. Flavours ranged from massaman beef to soft-shell crab, vege and Korean chili pork. All were outstanding and I'll definitely go back again. Can't rate the standard menu but based on the Bao I wouldn't hesitate to say it would be easily delicious.

R. D.

Massive serving of delicious food. Was here for coffee and chat with a girlfriend. Was cosy and relaxed. Staff were efficient and helpful.

F. D. G.

Went for a date night the other night and absolutely loved the food and drinks here. Fast service, delicious healthy food and beautifully presented - easily one of the best restaurants in brisbane!

C. R.

Overpriced in typical Brisbane brunch fashion. But good quality ingredients, bright and roomy space, good service. Smoothie was small for the price, but yummy and fresh. Didn't opt for any add-ons due to overall cost but the nutrient bowl was awesome!

S. C.

Amazing food, cocktails, atmosphere and more importantly - great service! The Paw Paw team made our belated EOFY function really special. Thank you for accommodating our large group with ease. We will definitely be back!

Y. J.

Visited PawPaw Cafe for dinner last night, and had such a great experience. The ambiance is so peaceful as the lights are not too bright and in your face, the food is delicious, and I couldn’t fault the service at all! All the waitresses are so nice and welcoming! The cocktails are also delicious🤩

T. G.

My partner and I love Pawpaw Cafe. The food is delicious, the beverages lovely and the service is excellent. A special mention needs to be given to both Martha and Ash. Very professional and super lovely natured people. We've been served by them both on several occasions and they really make the dining experience something special.

C. S.

Had a really nice breakfast here over the weekend. Food is very tasty and really well presented. Make sure to book, we had to wait around 20 minutes for a table.

H. D.

Melanie made planning our event so easy and stress free. She ensured every detail was covered and we did all of it via email. On the night, Shannon took care of us and her service could not have been of a higher quality. The entire night ran seamlessly & completely stress free. All our guests adored her, nothing I asked was too much or too difficult. And at the end of the night, she packed up all the left over food and cake and had everything waiting for us ready to go. I absolutely would not hesitate to organise our future events at PawPaw. The food is delicious, staff are amazing and service was second to none. My husband and I were beyond impressed & so thrilled with our entire experience.

B. M.

Food was incredible, great portions and price very reasonable for the high quality food. Staff were lovely

A. B.

We booked as a group of 6 for dinner and were pleasantly surprised to be given the booth window seat which is absolutely fantastic (if you are a bigger group I definitely recommend requesting this area). We chose the dinner banquet 1 package and there was plenty of great food to share. They staggered the entrees and then brought all the mains together which was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the ambience was very inviting. Will definitely be back again soon.

K. M.

My family and I (a group of 9) dined at Paw Paw over the weekend and as always everything was perfect. We opted for a banquet feed and was absolutely blown away at the quality (and quantity!) of food. The highlight of our experience however was the wonderful staff. Marina, Kaela and Jane were so kind and bubbly. They were all incredibly patient with our rowdy table and so accommodating to any dietary requirements we had. Thanks for a lovely night girls! I look forward to returning for dinner and breakfast.... and lunch.

K. H.

Beautiful soft decor and welcoming. The staff are lovely. Its a smallish menu, but it was still difficult to make a choice! The serving sizes are good. Most importantly the food was delicious. We had the chicken bao, pork belly, pad thai and curry. I will definitely return my next trip to Brisbane.

c.

Pawpaw definitely lived up to all the recommendations we had to go there! Service was great all the staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was amazing so tasty. Will be back to try more of the menu!

H. B.

Amazing food, so tasty and perfectly seasoned. Drinks are spectacular and staff are very friendly. Would definitely recommend going here and pricing is quite affordable for the city.

G. T.

I had my birthday celebration inside Pawpaw's private function room and it was fantastic. I couldn't thank the two lovely ladies Marina and Maddy who looked after us on the day enough. They were so wonderful and helpful and the food was incredible as always. Thank you to Melanie for making the planning process so easy and stress free as well. Thank you Pawpaw cafe for always providing a wonderful vibe, good food and drinks to celebrate.

T. B.

Acai bowl and zucchini fritters benny 😋 Amazing food, air conditioning, lovely staff! Slightly above average price!

C. R.

We enjoyed lunch at Paw Paw prior to a recent AFL match. The Malaysian Yellow Curry was one of the best I've ever had while the Fish Tacos was also excellent. Kids had the Breakfast Burgers and both gave thumbs-up. Staff very friendly and efficient. Overall a great experience and we will definately be back.

A. F.

Lovely cafe. Nicely decorated, food is excellent, and pop-up bakery was a good surprise! Donuts on point. Staff was nice and attentive as well.

T. P.

Coffee was absolutely delicious, as are the donuts and croissants from the pop up bakery. The breakfast burgers were not so good. They arrived cold and the hash browns tasted like chemicals. Not very enjoyable. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. It was also very expensive. We'll only go back for the coffee.

D. B.

Excellent service with GREAT coffee and delicous breakfast!

E. S.

We had mango smoothie, fish tacos with barramundi and mango, strawberry and grapefruit salad for lunch @pawpawcafe. It was really good and we left satisfied 👌

J. Y.

Took my family for brunch. Enjoyed the coffees and food. Good portions and tasty. 1 star missing, due to bacon could have been of a better quality to match the service, ambiance, and food

A.

Great place to eat - food is fresh and tasty, service is prompt. Love the feel of the space too, very light and pleasant.

P. B.

I didn't fancy much from the menu (I'm usually just for a traditional cooked breakfast, and most menu items were a bit too quirky) but decided to try the pancakes. I've not had pancakes before in a cafe, so I wasn't sure what I'd think, but they were delicious! I thought it was fairly expensive, but given the amount of food you get it was worth it. I also had the bacon ($5 extra) and got a lot. Added bonus was the icecream was made from almond milk which is great as I'm lactose intolerant (they also have LF milk).

V. S.

We ordered catering for a company lunch and the food was outstanding. Delivery was on time and all the food arrived hot. Everyone in the office was impressed. We will definitely be ordering from here again.

K. R.

We came here for the first time Sunday and were so impressed with the food, service and ambiance. My husband and I had the avocado toast and the croissant benedict and they were so delicious. We will definitely be coming back here.

J. B.

I had my birthday party at Paw Paw Cafe with a party of 45- 50 guests, and my experience from the first point of contact with Melanie the events manager, to the selection of food & drinks, floorplan setup, decor, photo booth, was just pure bliss. When we arrived at the venue on the actual day of my event, everything was absolutely beautiful and exactly what I had envisioned. The staff working that night were amazing with excellent customer service, very friendly and professional. And the food was the highlight of the night, the quality of each dish had our guests talking about it that night. Lastly I'd like to thank the pastry chef that worked his magic on fixing my cake, that we had a bit of a dilemma with during transportation to the venue. I will always remember how amazing the staff were that night. Highly recommend this place for any events you have in the future. They really take the worry & stress out of planning, organizing and making sure you get exactly what you asked for, or in my experience they exceeded my expectations.

C. W.

We held our engagement party at PawPaw Cafe last weekend and it was amazing! Melanie was a great help throughout the whole process - from our first meeting to the night of the party. The food was amazing and well received by our guests, and the staff on the night were super accommodating. Couldn't recommend this place enough!

M. O.

Food was outstanding, I highly recommend the breakfast risotto and mushroom croquettes Service and coffee was exceptional

J. G.

I was here for a group brunch where we had to preorder our dishes beforehand. Despite having plenty of tables, it was full house by 10am. Our waitress staff was lovely and accommodating, and we did not have to wait long for our food to come out once we told the staff we were ready. The gnocchi was a disappointment, however I enjoyed the signature hash dish. Serving was very generous as well. Unfortunately, we were told we only have 2 hours which we were made aware of from the beginning, and had to cut our brunch session short. Parking is also a little difficult so best to get there early to find parking.

L. M.

An absolutely amazing restaurant! I have been going for years and for very good reasons! The food, service and management are second to none. The waiters are friendly and attentive and offer advice as to menu items. The food tastes incredible, every single time. My absolute favourite dish is the Malaysian yellow curry- always a winner! The restaurant also is very accommodating for all different types of dietary requirements which makes going out with a group of friends so much easier! Would highly recommended Paw Paw Cafe to anyone! Love love love this place!!!

A.

The food here is always excellent and so many GF options available. Great service too.

R. H.

Loved the atmosphere here, music was good! Food was incredible and affordable and the service was attentive and with care. Thank you!

L. D.

Paw Paw Cafe is my daily coffee fix. Super friendly staff and quick service. Could not recommend a more vibed place in Brisbane!

R. R.

We recently had a dinner function in the private function area of Pawpaw cafe and cannot rave enough about how amazing it was. Our guests gave us non-stop compliments on the food and the atmosphere, it really is a beautiful space with everything considered. Shannon and Kaela looked after us for the night and we really couldn't have asked for anything more - Shannon catered to our every whim and made sure the event ran smoothly - even when we weren't really paying attention to the time! She was fantastic, and so incredibly friendly it really helped put me at ease. For anyone looking to book a function here, you will not be disappointed! Thank you again Pawpaw cafe.

E. J. D.

Brilliant food. Had the fish tacos and the pad Thai. They were just spectacular. Lovely ambiance too!

S. N.

Fish tacos were popular and enjoyed but today i had the double cheese burger. Generous patties with crisp hot chips and tasty truffle aioli. So generous that I didnt finish the meal. Yum.

O. C.

Brilliant food. Excellent service with polite behaviour. Intricate interior design. Coffee and food was delicious.

A. L.

Absolutely fantastic function, booking process was easy, food was delicious, cake was perfect. Highly recommended for a function!

J. V.

This was my and our first visit to Paw Paw restaurant for dining in. I just live around the corner in Manila Street. I brought with me visitors from Adelaide and Melbourne and everyone agreed, it was the best choice I could have made. Our waitress Mel, was so amazing at her job, not only providing good service, but being of service. Drinks appeared nearly straight up , and even the food was served without too much waiting. I always order Pad Thai with wagu beef for take away and that dish is the best Pad Thai I have ever tasted Paw Paws dishes, are all unique in taste, looks good, smells good and tastes even better. We had a great night and for an amazing affordable price👍🏻👏🏻

L. S.

Great food and service. We really enjoyed our breaky. It's a lovely cafe.

N. S.

Beautiful service beautiful food I've enjoyed every time I visit thanks again for a wonderful experience.

n.

Really nice place, but you will need a booking on weekends. It'd that way for a reason, the coffee and food is great

J. 9.

I am not from this side of town but came here for a 21st birthday party. Loved the food, friendly staff and great atmosphere. I’d definitely recommend this place!

I held a function at the Pawpaw Cafe and it was a terrific success. The food was excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful, especially Marina. I would highly recommend holding your next function at Pawpaw Cafe.

T. A. W. T. R.

Food was lovely and great serving size. Would reccomend to use glassware rather than plastic cups if dining in though.

A. D.

Good food and nice atmosphere.

t. c.

Service was friendly creating a great atmosphere and comfortable surrounds. Food was as hoped and lots of flavour.

Went here for breakfast this morning. The staff was friendly, food was good, the athmosphere was relaxing (eventhough it was busy and noisy). Only negative is the price. I ordered extra toast and was a bit shocked they charged 3.50 for this small slice of bread. Partners thickshake also didnt worth 10 bucks. Nice place but overpriced for me.

S. N.

Can't say enough good things about this place. Every dish I've had have been absolutely amazing. Favourite cafe, by far.

L. S.

Food was delicious! Service was great, everyone's dish looked amazing and I wanted to eat everyone's food. Duck pancakes were great and I really enjoyed my mushrooms and tofu. 4.5 stars because it was a bit expensive, although the portions were big and the quality was also up there. Still just a bit overpriced. Nice atmosphere.

C. M.

I really enjoyed my dinner at Pawpaw. The food was delicious and came out promptly, and the atmosphere was great (with excellent sound engineering so I could still enjoy a conversation with my table). Special thanks to Mel who looked after us - she was super helpful and very attentive. Will definitely be back!

K. A.

The food is very nice here, and the decor is lovely. Queues seem to be hectic on weekends, but weekdays are pretty chill. There's not very much parking but it's well served by public transport and if you're at all cool you probably already live in the neighbourhood anyway. Their water glasses are tiny but the bottles are generous, so stay hydrated. That way you can drink more of their very good coffee.

E. W.

Great menu and while breakfast ‘extras’ seem expensive these absolutely reflect the portion size - overall good value for money! Parking can be a bit of an issue however the streets are surrounded with ‘no limit’ options albeit you may have a block to walk. The interior is a lovely, coastal vibe for inner city and spacious enough to still be compliant with social distancing unlike some places.

C. K.

We had our baby shower here over the weekend and we cannot recommend the staff, the venue and the food enough. The staff was very accommodating of our needs and made sure everything ran smoothly. The food was delicious and they were able to adapt to everyone's dietary requirements quite seamlessly. The room is already beautifully decorated, which meant we really didn't need to do a lot of styling. We will definitely be hosting another event here. Thank you once again!

T. B.

Nice place, surprisingly large inside, expensive, busy on a Saturday and noisy inside however the service was impeccable. Water bottle, cups and menu brought over to our table soon after sitting down, then waitress came over to take our orders giving us enough time to decide but not too long that we were waiting.

H. H.

Talk about a fun and yummy coffee experience!! This cafe offers a service where you pick a picture and they print it on your coffee!! You need to download the app, then you can select a picture from the ones they have or upload your own. It was only a 5 minute process to do (so don’t be put off), and then tada, you have a custom coffee. The coffee itself is nice. Highly recommend, this is such a fun experience and you get coffee lol. Enjoy.

C. O.

Last night was both mine and my friends first time eating here as well as our first ‘all you can eat’ night and not only will I be back but I’ve already told many people about it and how awesome it was. The food was so delicious and came out so fast, every single staff member that we came across was incredibly polite and accommodating, and the atmosphere was awesome! Thoroughly enjoyed it!

C. K. P.

Loved the $80 Banquet for Two tonight! The usual $50 Banquet paired with some wonderful wine at each course! Our Waitress Noonny was wonderful tonight and she checked in with us every step of the way through our Banquet! Give this woman a bottle of wine for her awesome service! You should definitely go when you're HUNGRY hungry. The portions are decent, but they will fill you up as quick as the wine will hit you! We'll be back for sure with friends!

M. a. M. D.

I don’t very often leave reviews but I just have to say how absolutely amazing the food was at Paw Paw. Such amazing flavours. We did the banquet which was nice to try some dishes I wouldn’t usually choose. The best satay and massaman curry I have ever had. My mouth is watering remembering it! Will definitely be back .

J. B.

Loved it! Food and service awesome, will defo be back! Great home baked pastries : )

T. P.

We attended a wine and cheese event. The bar attendant was lovely and really attentive. Made sure our parties dietary needs/allergies were catered to as well which was appreciated. Lovely room out the back, the direct sun was not great though on the eyes so some tint on the windows might be a good plan. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

n. p.

Lovely environment, great customer service and amazing food. Well presented and loads of healthy options.

K. B.

I had my 50th birthday celebrations here on Saturday night, and I can't recommend this place highly enough.. The food was amazing, the attention to detail in the function room with seating arrangements and decor etc were spectacular, and including a photo booth for the night was an added draw card.. I had the pleasure of dealing with Melanie at Paw Paw and her service and helpfulness were amazing. She made sure everything went smoothly on the night and on schedule too all whilst sticking to my budget. Highly recommended this place for anyone's special function. THANKS everyone at Paw Paw it was a wonderful evening had by all...

N. H.

Great food and well prepared. Fresh with plenty of flavour. Great coffee also!

N. D.

We recently booked the function room for a birthday party. Melanie was most helpful at all stages of the planning, and she and the staff gave us excellent service on the night. The banquet was delicious and plentiful. While we were organising details prior to the function, any time we visited, all the staff were friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended for a meal and especially if you are looking for a great venue for a private function.

J. W.

Great little Cafe, awesome service from the ladies and food was delish has some vegetarian options as well.

A. W.

Great restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed the meal and experience. Had the chilli chicken popcorn, duck pancakes and dumplings as entrees. Masamum beef and crispy pork as main and every dish was fantastic. Highly recommend to get the roti with the curry.

J. 1.

Tbh it wasn't up to it's usual standards, the burger was somewhat lacking, It was good but not brilliant, it came with what I would describe as a processed cheese slice, I usually come here for something I couldn't or wouldn't cook at home, this wasn't it. Fortunately my wife's choice was much better.

E. M.

Never disappointed with Pawpaw. The service is excellent and even when they're really busy the meals come out quickly and super delicious! My fussy kids were happy and we found something to satisfy everyone.

M. F.

Dear Paw Paw team, Just wanted to send an email after dining with you this evening. We had a lovely evening at your restaurant and wanted to make special mention of our lovely staff member Maddie. She was a very warm and friendly staff member and it was evident by her interactions with us, that she loved what she does and the people whom she works for. What an asset you have, representing your business. The food was amazing and portion sizes were perfect. We loved the cocktails and can recommend the Watermelon Cosmopolitan! The new space you have is a lovely addition and was very pleasant and quiet at the time of our booking. We look forward in coming back to your restaurant. Many thanks for a wonderful evening. Michelle Foote

J. H.

Everything was perfect and as I’d hoped. Amazing service (thank you Nut), food was fabulous, atmosphere was wonderful. Thanks so much Pawpaw team!

i. a.

To Melanie, Maddy & Pawpaws Team, We would like to thank you again for all of your help from the day we enquired about booking our wedding, until the moment it was time to walk down the aisle. Nothing was ever too much of an ask and our questions were always answered super fast. We couldn’t have asked for a better day, or a better venue. Pawpaws was the first venue that was on our list & choice after our visit we left with such excitement knowing that it was the venue that we wanted to get married at. It really did exceed all expectations of how the venue looked on the day, and how the day came together. All of our guests had a wonderful time and couldn’t praise the venue & the food choices on the grazing table enough. Thank you to you and your team for the most perfect day. Warm regards, Imran & Steve

K. M.

Coffee is okay. Pawpaw's Signature Hash, however, was incredible. I would eat this every day of the week. The hash are shaped into generously portioned golden spheres, and cooked to perfection. Paired with the smashed avo, turmeric hummus, beetroot relish, and dukkah - absolutely to die for. Also comes with poached eggs which I love, however the rest of the meal is so good that the egg doesn't seem essential. Great serving size.

A. H.

Probably one of the best thai restaurants I've ever been to. Kristine recommended the best dishes and was amazing the entire time. The massaman curry and the pork belly was really delicious. Portions were reasonable but we got full very quickly so we had to take some home. We didn't get the chance to try the desserts but she mentioned they have vegan sundaes as well. Will be back for the mango rice dessert next time as she highly recommends it.

C. O.

I recently hosted a baby shower at PawPaw Cafe and I could not recommend the gorgeous venue any higher! All of our guests absolutely raved about the food and we even got to take all of our leftovers home. The staff were amazing, they allowed us to redecorate and set up as we pleased and were very helpful before and during the event. Overall, such a positive experience and will definitely be coming back.

J. T.

Pawpaw is modern brekky at it’s best! They pack so much flavour into everything. A smashed avo isn’t simply just smashed avo. There’s exciting delicious components that go with it perfectly. Best option I’ve had though is the rosti! Delicious and filling!

E. C.

The food was absolutely amazing and the atmosphere of the cafe was really nice. The selection of baked pastries and donuts was 15/10 good 😍

T. B.

I recently had my baby shower at Paw Paw and I have to say the food was absolutely delicious, the service from the staff was also top class. The venue was in a perfect location for all guests and the room was beautifully decorated. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to do a private event.

M. H.

Pawpaw catered our Christmas party this year! Was exceptional food and well presented!

M. H.

Delicious food and great coffee. The cappuccino came with the most amazing chocolate sprinkled on top which melted into the foam and the chai latte was so good. Had the chimichurri burger and the mushroom croquettes which came with lots of mushrooms, haloumi, broccolini and a delicious eggplant puree.

A.

My wife and I came here for dinner off a recommendation from a friend who had breakfast here. We could not rate it more highly! Staff were very welcoming, the pork bao buns were delicious (I could have had 2 or 3 portions!). The flavours of the kingfish curry was excellent, I would have had mine slightly hotter but that's a personal preference and the Cashew with beef had so much flavour. I would definitely come again next time I'm in brissy.

J. A.

Great atmosphere and service, however the downfalls were that it was hard to find a park close by and $24 for a croissant with 2 eggs and bacon was a bit much. We eat out regularly and my family own a food franchise so I know how much these things cost to make. It was also slapped together on a large plate which highlighted the value for money it was lacking. Maybe another meal might’ve been better value for money? Probably wouldn’t go back.

C. G.

Absolutely amazing! I recently held my 21st bday party with Paw Paw in which the staff throughout the night were great to deal with and very helpful, Mel in particular was amazing going above and beyond to make sure I had a great night. We had a very unsure week with COVID lockdown happening however Mel was very positive all week and was more then willing to make sure I got my night in. The food was next level and all my guests mentioned how much they liked the food (Pad Thai is next level!) . Highly recommend Paw Paw's function room for any party, great space and also had a great time using the photo booth/props. Thanks for the awesome service Paw Paw!

P.

Friendly staff and good service. Bought a coffee to go and didn't have to wait long

R. B.

We used Pawpaw cafe as our location for a work Christmas party. The food was outstanding and the service was absolutely exceptional. The food servings were extremely generous, we even got to take left overs home! They were very accommodating for different food and drink preferences. It is a great atmosphere in there, and the staff had a great day at Pawpaw. I would very highly recommend Pawpaw cafe, and we will definitely be back again!!

r. g.

Hi Guys- A group of us came a couple of weeks back for Breakfast. Meals seemed good with the children having Brekky Burger or whatever you call it and they were great. Other adults seemed to enjoy theirs. I had Bacon and Eggs and it came in a generous quantity but was Lukewarm. I didnt have the time or inclination to ask for a re-heat as we were on a bit of a deadline but it would have been better hot. I wasn't sure if you were trying to lower cafe noise level with the Ceiling Tiles but I think you have the wrong product to do that. There are other sound reducers/absorbers that work OK. If they were just decoration then all good

We recently hosted an Anniversary lunch at the stunning Pawpaw Cafe and it was everything we could wish for and beyond. Mel and all the staff members at Pawpaw have been amazing throughout the planning process and ensured everything ran smoothly on the day. All our guests felt very well cared for and needless to say the food was also amazing. Pawpaw Cafe is a must visit, whether it’s for a brunch with friends or a special event!

S. A.

Food and wine! Ooof you got to get the coconut rice, pad Thai, roti and a damn Tempranillo! For brekky of course 😉

S. C.

The food is delicious and the atmosphere is really comfortable. Nice place to visit again.

S. O.

Hosted a friend's bridal shower here and it was a lovely experience. The food was yummy and everyone enjoyed what they ordered (with minor food envy 😅) The team, especially the manager Marina were accommodating to our needs. Overall a great experience. Would dine here again.

L. M.

Great food, excellent service. Wonderful atmosphere. Will be back.

I. n. M. R.

We were a group of five related women having a special brunch for an expectant mother. Atmosphere and decor was lovely. Staff were friendly efficient and professional. Considering meals were $24 average per head it was disappointing that the Fish Taco fillets were burnt and presented at the table as acceptable. Both the Paw Paw House specials poached eggs were overcooked even though they were ordered as runny. If we weren't such a large group we would have sent back the three of five orders. Attention to detail by chef and serving staff need attention.

L. C.

I had my 30th at Paw Paw Cafe in their function room and it was phenomenal. The guests all complimented how good the food and atmosphere was. I really didn’t have to do much organising, which was great. The room was so beautifully decorated and the staff were so helpful and friendly. The mocktail and cocktail jugs and the photo booth was such a hit too! Would highly recommend if you want a small party with your friends and family!

D. E.

I booked my sister's baby sprinkle for 18 people. The booking process was so easy and the food came out quickly and was delicious. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. I will definitely plan events here in the future. Thanks Pawpaw Cafe!!!

J. C.

Delightful venue and tasty treats

M. M.

My partner and I had dinner here, and all was beautiful! Greeted by friendly authentic and professional staff, sat in a beautifully styled room, served delicious spritzer drinks and particularly tasty meals. We ordered the massaman curry, cashew nut stir fry, eggplant salad, roti and rice. There were lots of vegetarian options and also vegan desert options... great to see these available. Thank you to all the staff! X

My wife Renee and I had our intimate wedding at Pawpaw Cafe on the 24th of October and it was the most perfect evening. Melanie was fantastic throughout the whole process of our wedding planning and was always so lovely and friendly and ensured everything was perfect for us. She replied to emails quickly, answered all the questions we had and ensured that everything ran smoothly on the night. It was all set up really nicely, she had the menu cards printed for us, decorated the tables, set up the photo booth, set up the music and kept the drinks flowing. The dinner was amazing and we received so many compliments about how nice the food was and how perfect the setup was. We love this place and can't wait to go back again for dinner. If you are thinking about having an intimate wedding, give Melanie at Pawpaw a call. Thank you Melanie and the staff at Pawpaw Cafe from Tim & Renee

J. F.

Love this cafe. Some great dishes, including their breakfast hash- well balanced with lots of flavour. We also have had an early dinner here before walking to the GABBA for a BBL game and it was perfect. Much better food than what you get at sporting events and it was super close. Highly recommend.

L. d.

Just had my wedding reception at pawpaw last night and i wouldn’t have it anywhere else. It was absolutely perfect and made our day even more special. Food was absolutely delicious and came out at great times and portion sizes too! Had our own Bar and such lovely staff! They catered to my vegan guest so well! The set up from the table to lights and flowers were stunning! I have so much positive things to say! Thank you to Melanie for making the process so easy and smooth. You and all the staff has such lovely customer and hospitality service! We’re so so grateful! I honestly had the best wedding day and reception at paw paw was the cherry on top of a lovely day! So much love for this place now. It’ll now hold a very special memory for us. Much love from Steve and luci <3

T. R.

Polite and curtious staff, pleasant surrounds, fabulous food, we will be back.!!

K. K.

Had my baby shower at Paw Paw and it was wonderful! The function room has so much space, it’s modern, open and has a great vibe to it Let’s not forget the food which is just delicious plus we got to take all that was left over.. as there was just so much- so rest assured, no one goes home hungry. The staff were wonderful and attentive too! Would easily have future events at Paw Paw and I highly recommend!!

J.

The coconut coffee frappe itself is worth coming for 🤤🥥 We have tried a few menu items: Fish tacos; beef burgers and potato hash... All delicious with attention to detail on the flavours. The only thing we have not fully enjoyed was the gnocchi dish. The black garlic adds nothing to the dish and has the consistency of Vegemite. We can't wait to try the dinner menu 😊

D. N.

I took my friends who are impossible to impress, and they were impressed. It's a one-way street, for easiest parking, take the right turn immediately AFTER the cafe and you'll find plenty of 2hr parking.

C. G.

Loved it! Fresh, delicious but best all of all some really great gluten free options on the menu. Wait staff were accommodating and friendly plus they highly recommended their breakfast so we might just have to come back.

R. L. D.

Great food and service. Very much enjoyed my experience :)

C.

Great coffee! Enjoyed the atmosphere with generous space. The food was top notch, fresh and fairly deceiving.

P. D.

I would lick my plate if no one was watching! Delicious food, excellent service and super friendly staff! Thank you.

N.

Dinner on Saturday night. Mains came out before an entree, our rice and roti didn’t come out with the mains until another 5+ minutes later. Had only been seated for nearly an hour when we finished mains the receipt was placed on our table, we were not offered dessert or any further drinks, it was a little before 9pm. They then proceeded to set up for breakfast around us giving us the hint to get going. While the food was great and the staff were friendly and polite, this wasn’t good enough.

S. K.

Great food and coffee, lovely staff, nice atmosphere - really enjoyable experience all around

A. S.

My boyfriend and I were staying in Brissy for a night. It was great to eat at Paw Paw Cafe before continuing on our road trip -- the booking was immediate (definitely recommend doing it in advance), the food was amazing (quantity + quality) and the ambiance was really nice. I would definitely visit again. You simply need to be prepared for a bit of a waiting period in terms of service and placing your order.. they can be quite busy! But the food makes up for this. I ordered their eggs benny (they forgot that I had requested a veggie version but made up for it super quickly).

C.

Thank you Pawpaw cafe! We had our wedding reception with you recently and you couldn't have done more for us, thank you for all your help, the fantastic service, the superb food packed with flavour, you kept the drinks flowing and our guests couldn't have been more pleased. We had a brownie tower as our wedding cake, *insert chefs kiss* scrumptious! We have heard so much praise from our guests for you and we are very grateful and happy that we had our event at Pawpaw. 100%, ☆☆☆☆☆ would recommend. Looking forward to dining here again soon.

J. B.

Absolutely delicous. The eggs benny with bacon on a croissont was amazing. When it came out I started eating straight away and forgot to take a photo. So you will just have to take my word for it or just go and try it for yourself. We had 2 takeaway fresh muffins and they were still warm from the oven. Highly recommend trying one or 2. The carrot one is my favourite. Definitely will be coming back Pawpaw. Thank you.

A. W.

Perfect spot for a busy day break or weekend warriors - Interesting food, fresh, delicious and great service. "Came for lunch, came back for dinner " **Update** After many visits during the last couple of years, this establishment has not only maintained high standards of food and service but continues to innovate. Service lead by Marina is impeccable and I only have high praise to the attentiveness, kindness and smile you could see through her eyes (wearing mask 😄)

J. C.

Wow. I mean really wow. Fresh food. Generous serves. Fabulous flavour. We were delighted. Really rated the duck pancakes and the pork belly. And the Cheeky Beef Massaman (spelling?) was the pick of the bunch. Definitely coming back.

E. S.

I shared a lovely lunch with a friend. The food was very tasty and the portions generous. We were well spaced out adhering to covid regulations and the service was efficient with friendly staff.

J. P.

Yum breakfast and great coffee. Quick service too

a. m.

Lovely food, great atmosphere and excellent service. Special thank you to our waiter Kat 😊 We will be back !

A. P.

I was looking to try somewhere new when I found this this cute little restaurant. On arrival we were greeted very promptly and all of the staff were so friendly and welcoming. We were attended to straight away, and our order was on our table within 10 minutes. The food was so delicious and flavourful! 10/10 recommend for service & food. Thank you so much for the lovely evening, we will definitely be coming back!

S. G.

Great breakfast options near kangaroo Point. Lots of options to choose from including gluten free and vegan options. Food is served fresh and delicious. Egg Benedict is a must try. Coffee along with various other options are available...Although food is delicious, the food is priced a bit on the expensive side. The Cafe has a good ambience and feel to it. Would definitely recommend to family and groups.

J. W.

Really cute cafe. Parking was an issue and we did the block a few times. Lunch menu looked good. We found the breakfast options fairly limited.

K. W. T.

Very busy place for lunch, although the food was worth the wait. Pawpaw truly lives up to its name.

S. S.

Pawpaw's Goma salad is exquisite. The salmon is cured perfectly to my liking, raw in the middle and cooked on the outside. The dressing is a delicate balance of sweetness and sourness. The broccolini is firm but not undercooked. Overall it's a perfect meal. The fries with aioli is a pleasure to eat; It's creamy and tasty. The service is quick and friendly. The place is decorated nicely and welcoming. The negative thing I can say is the lack of parking spaces. They need to be expanded, as there are only limited numbers of street parking. Customers would definitely want to be assured of enough parking before they book. Thank you.

D. S.

Great atmosphere and awesome food that is well catered to different dietary requirements! Melanie did a great job with organising our function. Highly recommend!

L. B.

This is a lovely venue with delicious food which is resonably priced. The service is great. Our dental study club had a dinner meeting here on a Tuesday night. BYO used to be allowed in the past (3 years ago) but is no longer an option. This is a shame as a bottle of sauvignon blanc costs $60 and a bottle of Shiraz costs $80 - these are not fancy/ high end labels. I recommend this venue if you have a big budget for drinks.

K. H.

We recently held our Staff Christmas party at Pawpaw Café (44 guests) and I can't speak highly enough about the event. In a year when the restrictions on events kept changing Pawpaw kept us informed and helped us plan the perfect Christmas party. They were accommodating of guests with dietary requirements and all the food was plentiful and delicious. Thank you Mel from Pawpaw and the whole team for being so amazing.

L.

My husband and I celebrated our birthdays with a large group of friends at PawPaw cafe, and we could not fault the service, the food, or the staff. Everything went smoothly, the food was delicious, drinks were constantly full, and the staff were absolutely awesome. Would definitely recommend for any celebration. We will be back!

S. K.

Enjoyed my brunch here with my sister today. She was happy about it so that made me happy 😊 Had their Signature Hash and Herbed Fries. Super delicious! Will bring my friends and family next time.

S. B.

I recently had my baby shower at Pawpaw and I could not speak highly enough of the staff, the food and the space generally. Everything was looked after, the room needed little to no decoration to be beautiful and we even had a photo booth! I had a few guests with dietary requirements and this was no trouble for the staff who made sure everything went smoothly. Thanks Pawpaw!

J. T.

The breakfast, coffee, kids menu, service and 10am mimosa were amazing. 10/10 for everything. Will return. I highly recommend their signature hash!

J. L.

Beautiful cafe 👌🏻 Food was amazing and service. Try the fish tacos & mimosas 😍🖤

B. G.

Avocado toast with egg very nice. Mocha and latte yummy. Ham and cheese croussant was good too

M. G.

We had our work Christmas Party for 2020 at Paw Paw Wooloongabba in the private room at the back of the restaurant. It was fabulous!! The room is beautiful, the staff were fantastic and the food was delicious!! It was also great to be able to control our own music, and we had the photo booth also which added an extra fun touch to the evening! We will be back!

S. S.

Massaman Curry is a MUST. Best thing on the menu. I loved everything we ordered but this curry is a winner. The Roti was also cooked to crispy perfection.

E. D.

Delicious breakfast and friendly service. The doughnuts look amazing but were too dense.

S. B.

I found this place beautiful and clean. The service is impeccable and members of the team were all smiley. Thank you for taking care of your customers and making us having a good time at your lovely place. I have been there just twice but will come back, I also heard only good about it.

F. S.

We had our daughter's 21st Birthday at Pawpaw last Sunday 2nd May. We'd been looking fews venues everywhere to celebrate her milestones, before we found this lovely Pawpaw Cafe. We glad we decided to have her 21st birthday at Pawpaw. All our guests were impressed with everything they experienced at the party that day The foods was delicious (and plenty left over to take home), the venue was beautiful, the staffs was very helpfull and accomodated, the atmosphere was so good that all the guests was enjoying themselves, and the photo booth was so much fun..! Melanie and her teams was doing an excellence job. Thumbs up 👍for all the staffs who worked on sunday 2nd May to help with the served. They served us with smiles. The party is a day to remember..!! For sure we will come back for our future event. Cheers, Cisca Sandilands - The Happy Customer ❤

D. S.

We loved the whole experience of organising and enjoying my sister's babay shower at Paw Paw cafe. Mel made everything so easy, and accommodated all of our requests so easily, thanks so much for the flexibility! The space was magical and the food delicious, it was the perfect plan for my sister's baby shower, everyone had such a wonderful evening out in such a beautiful space and there was no work or stress left for anyone. Thankyou again, would highly recommend Paw Paw for any classy and delicious gathering!

U. W.

Dined at the Paw Paw cafe for Sunday brunch and the food was amazing. Their signature dish of the hash browns was awesome. All the staff were friendly and attentive and although fairly busy, they didn't appear stressed. It pays to book ahead.

D. D.

This is a lovely looking cafe, but they could stand to lift their food game. I had the thai chicken salad and there really wasn't much to it - about 5 lettuce leaves, a very small sprinkling of shredded chicken and an egg. Pretty disappointing when it is so easy and cheap to make a good salad. Dining companions had the fish tacos - the fish really didn't need to be deep fried, it would have been healthier and cost less for the restaurant to just grill the fish.

S.

A charming little cafe with country chic decor and nice vibe, right near the edge of the city a short walk to the gabba cricket grounds. We were met with alert and efficient waitresses who took care of us without being imposing. The menu was not complicated but catered for all tastes and dietary requirements. My wonderfully poetic partner in crime and i both chose the same meal for brunch: mushroom croqettes with brocolini, haloumi cubes, babaganush, assortment of mushrooms, microherbs and poached egg.... a feast for the tastebuds & visually dellicious also... Very efficient meal service and the fact that the place was bustling is a reflection of that. Parking is restricted to the side streets as its on a busy stretch of road on Stanley street East. Will be back!!!

R. A.

We held a baby shower in the gorgeous function room. From the time of making the booking to the event itself was fantastic. On the day the staff couldn't have been more helpful and the food was superb. We had a number of people tell us it was the best baby shower they have ever been to. Highly recommend holding a function here

T. G. T. B. -. L. a. O.

I hadn't seen any reviews of Pawpaw's 'All You Can Eat Bao Nights' so if you're looking for one - here it is. We dined there after booking in advance (which I would recommend booking way in advance as it books out very quickly!) and were in for quite the treat! Our booking was for 7:30pm and it was very busy inside (almost every table was taken). We were seated and immediately served table water (another thing to note is that the service here is great and all the young girls working were lovely and polite). We ordered our first round of bao buns which actually took about 25 minutes to come out - and we were starving at this point - so we didn't really get to eat until it was almost 8pm. However, we noticed that what most tables were doing was ordering the next round of bao after the the bao you had previously ordered arrived. So when this first round came, we were eager to order the next round. [Essentially how the night works is that you get a plate with two bao buns on it - choose your flavour - and keep repeating until you're full!] The following rounds came out quite efficiently actually - seeing as the restaurant and flow of customers was slowing down and some tables were clearing. If you've booked for an earlier sitting, you can probably expect to have a longer wait time between each round being served - keeping in mind that there is a 1.5 hour limit on your seating too. We ended up eating 6 rounds of bao buns which filled us up plenty and definitely bang for your buck (costing $25pp). The flavours we tried were amazing too! They were: - Softshell crab - Beef massaman - BBQ pulled pork - Crispy chicken - Veggie patty Our favourites were the soft shell crab and beef massaman - but should note that they're all delicious and you won't be disappointed with any of them as you make your way through the choices! All in all, based off the All You Can Eat Bao Night experience, we left extremely satisfied with the food, service and overall experience. We'll definitely be back!

Wow! Cashew nut stir fry with tofu was to die for! The flavours were authentic and the veggies weren't doused in oil like a lot of thai and Chinese restaurants. Don't get me started on the coconut rice - the yummiest I have had in a long time. My friends loved their pad thai chicken and braised duck as well. The service was awesome and our meals came out super fast. I will absolutely come back. As a vegan it was so nice to have over 5 options to choose on the menu! See you next time friendly Paw Paw team!

This place is amazing! We celebrated my husband's birthday at Pawpaw Cafe on Saturday afternoon. I booked in for the session and Marina was so wonderful and corresponded promptly with me during the days prior. They are such an organised venue - they explained how they are usually busy on Saturday and would like our order in prior to the day to make sure everything ran smoothly AND.. everything sure did run smoothly! They got all our orders correct. Kat was our server and she was so kind and wonderful to deal with during the day. The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed their meal. During the day, Kat communicated with me and was so pleasant to work with. We will definitely be back again to Pawpaw and just wanted to say how organised, prepared and welcoming everyone was. Thank you!! :)

I held a private function in Paw Paw Cafe's Garden Room and I must say, the team were exceptionally easy to deal with, extraordinarily obliging and things couldn't have gone more smoothly. The food was amazing (and all of my guests commented so) and there was so much of it, and the service was fantastic. Loved it so much, that I am now holding my work Christmas party there as well! Thanks so much to the Candice, Kayla and the Paw Paw Cafe team that looked after us - just amazing.

S. R.

Went to Pawpaw to celebrate my daughter's birthday and it was fantastic, the food and service was absolutely amazing. A very enjoyable night was had by all.

R.

Meal and service were excellent. Highly recommended.

s.

Went for a Sunday morning catchup at Paw Paw cafe with a friend. I forgot how delicious the food is here. So many options to choose from! Not only was the service spot on but the food and adorable little donuts were ready to go for those post lunch dessert naughty goodness. 🥺😉 Thank you guys, will definitely be back x

D. v. M.

The staff were amazing, the food and service was good but unfortunately for dessert we ordered a cake through Darvella patisserie which wasn't pleasant to eat, it was dry and crumbly (looked amazing for photos). The entrees and mains made at the restaurant were delightful to eat.

A.

Great service, staff where very kind and helpful. but the food, needs an extra kick. The papaya salad lacked punch and actually had an bitter after taste, don’t know why. The serving sizes where not very generous. Overall its a very well styled restaurant with knowledgable staff and beautifully presented food. It just needs a little bit more attention to taste and portion size.

T. R.

Beautiful cafe in Brissy! They had vegan options, food was delicious and presented incredibly. The atmosphere was very homely and calming. Staff were friendly and Gina the owner was lovely and welcoming. Would recommend!

A. G.

Really lovely staff and delicious food! Vegan options are fabulous - we're hooked on their Signature Yellow Canai & popcorn tofu (limited edition item). Venue is cozy and great lighting for photos with friends & family. Many fun memories here! ❤️

M. G.

Pawpaw Cafe was a fantastic venue for a birthday celebration, all the guests raved about the food and staff were all really friendly! Highly recommend for intimate celebrations.

M. K.

Wonderful meal as always. So much flavour. Great value for money. Attentive service. Well done Paw Paw Cafe

I used Pawpaw Asian cafe to provide catering for my husband’s 40th birthday party we hosted at home. We had tofu pad Thai and free curry chicken curry dinner boxes and spring rolls and chicken satay skewers foe nibbles. All were thoroughly enjoyed by our guests. The cost was quite reasonable working at about $20/hd. Food was ready for pick up on time and managed to keep it hot until we served. Thanks PawPaw!

M. M.

Great food, especially the beef curry and the sticky rice - perfection! Edit: After I had dinner at PawPaw, I got an email asking if I could do a review, and to send any suggestions to a separate email address on what can be improved. Fair enough. I never heard back from the email owner, so here are a few things to consider, and why I lowered my rating; - the pad thai was sugary sweet, more like a sweet/sour chicken dish, and there was nearly zero tamarind/tartness to balance it out - the 90 minute limit made the dinner feel rushed - all the apps came out at the same time, same with the mains - would be great if they staggered this a bit - the seating in the back of the restaurant is kind of claustrophobic, especially if you're facing the wall (suggest you ask for a window or mid-restaurant seat) While I stand by the beef curry and sticky rice being amazing, there is definite room for improvement in my opinion.

J. C.

First time at Pawpaw cafe - will definitely be back. Outstanding service, gorgeous setting and amazing food. We had the beef massaman curry which was the best I have eaten and a delicious Thai fried rice with chicken. Highly recommend.

K.

Always a tough choice between sweet and savoury, but couldn't pass up the weekend special.

L. S.

The food here is so good!! We booked a table for dinner and the food, drinks and service was outstanding. Even though the restaurant was full, our food came out quickly and was delicious, highly recommend the red curry! Our waitress Katie (or Kate?!) was brilliant. Thank you :-)

R. L.

I celebrated my 21st birthday at Pawpaw Cafe and was very satisfied with the experience. The Garden Room was very aesthetic, nicely decorated and perfect for photos. The staff provided excellent service and were very friendly and accommodating. There was also a wide variety of food options which was enjoyed by everyone.

S. P. M.

We called in for lunch and the food was amazing the iced coffee a stand out and the friendliness of the staff was wonderful. Definitely need to book. One thing the menu isn't huge, but they did cater for a vegan diet which was lovely.

S. H.

Fantastic spot! I went on a weekday and it was a relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and the food was brilliant.

J. B.

Had a super night at a food and wine pairing at Pawpaw. Not only was the food and wine amazing but we didn’t get the usual Brisbane-restaurant-kick-out-at-9:30 or 10-treatment. So refreshing. Would do wonders for Brisbane’s restaurant scene if more took the approach of Pawpaw and our interstate and international neighbours. Definitely back here for dinner!!

S. B.

We enjoyed a beautiful Father’s Day breakfast at Paw Paw cafe on the weekend. All meals were absolutely amazing and the customer service was impeccable.

M. G.

Awesome food, great service, friendly staff. Never had a bad dish, and I've tried alot... And best of all, no kitchen to clean up at home after dinner....

L. M.

I recently hosted my baby shower at Pawpaw and couldn’t fault the process from beginning to end! There was enough structure so I didn’t have to make too many choices whilst having enough flexibility so I could have my own personal touches included. The guests commented on how impressive the food and service were on the day. Would definitely recommend to anyone planning an event in the future!

T. R.

Nice meal ..... to note no longer BYO and wine bottle prices are up there! Not super busy on our visit but felt we were pushed to get our meals ordered. Staff very attentive ...... maybe a little too much. Good night though.

T. F.

Had the absolute pleasure of celebrating my 40th Birthday on the weekend with 40 guests in the function room at Pawpaw cafe... What a lovely space for a gathering, very light and airy with a great feel... The staff were on point and took care of every detail, so I could relax and enjoy the afternoon... Nat was brilliant behind the bar, with no one having to wait long and his cocktails mixed to perfection and Marina was magnificent, really made us feel welcome, took care of the music and kept the delicious canapes rolling in... Ordered the cake from Darvella also and it tasted and looked amazing.... I would like to thank you all as well as Mel Hoffman for organising everything I wanted to create a day I won't forget.... Thankyou and see you again...

A. H.

It was my birthday and we went to Pawpaw for dinner a few days ago. Food was amazing and I must say we will definitely go back! Excellent service by the team too especially our waitress Kristine. We made a lot of requests but she's very nice and accomodating even if it was busy. Thank you Kristine and Pawpaw team.

T. S. C.

We recently booked a networking Ladies lunch and couldn't have picked a better venue! The Garden Room was beautiful, the food was enjoyed by everyone the staff who looked after us were very friendly and always on hand to help. Highly recommended!! Thank you everyone! Already looking forward to the next one.

G.

An amazing range of food, breakfast, lunch + dinner, but with a bit of a twist on classic recipes and items we're used to in Australia. This means the food here is both standard enough to appeal to your average person, but unique enough to provide a different experience to your taste buds. Setting is lovely, but can get busy at times and the choice of coffee and other beverages is covered very well. Looking forward to trying yet another unique meal at this cafe next time I am in the area!

K. T.

Had my birthday here at Paw Paw cafe function room, the food was delicious and it came out very quick. The staff was AMAZING and attentive. Highly would recommend doing an event at Paw Paw.

J. A.

We had our Christmas party and opted for the banquet option. There were 38 of us and every single one of us was impressed on how good the food was. They were able to accommodate all dietary requirements for the guest. Excellent service, good communication and great value for money!

J. T.

Once again Pawpaw has come through with an amazing night. Everything was perfect for my daughters 18th Birthday Party. Thank you Melanie for all your help in organising the night.

J. H.

Great brunch with reasonable prices. Environment was good.

T.

Delious food, very quick service and a lovely atmosphere. A real gem in Woolloongabba!

M. W.

Absolutely beautiful food! Best Thai in Brisbane. Kristine was incredible and helped us choose the best meal on the menu (it was too hard to pick, they all looked delicious)

R. K.

Giorgina was so incredible helpful throughout my entire event planning and flexible when it came to my needs. The food and venue looked stunning on the day and the team were all so friendly and accommodating. If you’re looking for a fabulously-priced stand up or banquet-style venue with high quality food options, I highly recommend!

F. G.

I booked the function room at Paw Paw Cafe for my daughter's 21st birthday party and we were not disappointed, with most guests commenting the next day on how amazing the venue and food were. The team were incredible, all extremely friendly and accommodating, particularly Marina the Manager and Anna who looked after the guests all night with drinks service. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to make the room and evening a perfect night for us. I highly recommend this function venue to everyone! The food was amazing - presentation, taste and quantity all surpassed expectation. The room itself coped well with approximately 50 guests plus there was ample seating too. Just simply stunning! Thank you Paw Paw!

B. D.

I have enjoyed many breakfasts at Pawpaw. The gnocchi was sensational. The coconut frappe delicious, although I am glad the espresso was on the side!

C. F.

Enjoyed the scrumptious hash brown breakfast from the all day breakfast menu for lunch last week. It was so so yum! And incredible filling!

M. F.

We went for breakfast to celebrate my friends birthday. Fantastic service and the good was divine. We had the mushroom croquettes, every mouthful was delicious. Thank you for a lovely start to the day.

We held my partner's 30th birthday in the function room at Paw Paw. It was absolutely stunning. The service, décor and ambience were all second to none. I'd like to personally thank Mel for all her work in making this event come together so beautifully. Mel is an absolutely superstar and just a pleasure to deal with. Mel's customer service is 110% and no request is too great. The food is absolutely delicious and the professionalism/organisation put into these events makes everything run so smoothly. Thank you again Mel and the rest of the staff at Paw Paw for a beautiful night!

A. L.

Excellent food AND coffee: lots of interesting menu choices, suitable to all dietary preferences, and very fair pricing. Smart, stylish decor but comfy atmosphere. We've been back several times. The only drawback is the noise level - lousy acoustics, but that's pretty much normal for most places.

P. M.

Love this place great atmosphere, lovely service and beautiful food and wines.

A. D.

Food is not the best thing about this café. There's much more to it! The hospitality, service, ambience, COVID safety measures and moreover the vibes are only few things that I can think of, for recommending this to anyone! :) Martha, one of the staff members, served us. Not only did she help us with suggesting best dishes according to our dietary requirements but also ensured that they were served just perfect for us to flaunt our Saturday morning on Instagram!

P. N.

We had a pre wedding lunch here with 50 people in the function room. A perfectly sized space with a grazing table down the centre, two long tables for seated dining and bar tables with high chairs. With the 6pc per person grazing table package, we were so full and happy with the food provided. Candice, the events manager, helped us select a fantastic variety of food. Drinks were served quickly, and staff were very attentive and helpful. A great venue with amazing value for money. Coffee was also delicious!

J. T.

We booked the function room for a private gathering of 50+ people & we were very happy with both the service provided by the staff & the delicious food on our grazing table. The staff were very accommodating with any request we had & even some of our guests were talking about hiring for their own events coming up in the future. So happy people all around.

P. P.

Highly recommend Paw Paw Cafe for a function. We just held our daughter's 21st birthday party in the garden room - delicious food and excellent service throughout the night. The planning of the event with Candice and the staff was seamless. Could not have be happier!

K. M.

Yum! Signature has for breakfast has sooo much flavour! OMG.... We finally had dinner here.... wow wow wow ..... why did we wait so long Scallops.... super amazing, pork belly next level, massamum curry best ever! Thank you! you are the gold standard in Brisbane!

G. M.

Great service and friendly staff. The decor was very homey. Food was delicious and we will be back. Just wish the degustation banquet menus catered for two people.

S. C.

Always come back to Paw Paw, over the years have dined and celebrated from work functions to wedding anniversaries. Although the menu is limited, the offerings are always fabulous. Service is impeccable, the FROSE was recommended, had two glasses instead of wine, desserts delicious. Staff friendly and efficient. Always, always a good idea to Paw Paw

L. H.

I had a great experience at PawPaw. I enjoyed breakfast and was graced with fantastic customer service, delicious food and a friendly atmosphere. I would highly recommend the Housemade Parmesan Gnocchi and the Pink Pataya Smoothie. Both were fresh, tasty, filling and delicious!

J. W.

Fantastic little venue for a birthday function, the food was excellent and the service by Racheal was first class. Great central location as well.

C. C.

Paw paw cafe hosted my husbands 40th birthday function recently. The whole process was very easy and communication from the function coordinator was prompt and thorough. The room is gorgeous and needs no extra decorating as it has fairy lights and feature wallpaper that make an elegant atmosphere for dining. We had the Chang Mai buffet and there was ample food for everyone. We were able to take home a few leftovers as well! We had 2 people with allergies and both were catered for without fuss. The staff were very confident and easy to deal with. They took care of everything and made the whole night run smoothly. I would highly recommend Paw paw for functions as we had a great experience!

S. L.

We held a 21st celebration in the functions room. From the organisng to the set up and the execution I can not fault. We has a fabulous night and guests and party girl was very impressed at the venue and the food. Value for money was excellent. Highly recommend

Great food, excellent service and good atmosphere. We celebrated my daughters 18th birthday on Sunday. The Malaysian Yellow Curriy with Rotti was devine. The coconut frappe was so nice and refreshing. Will definitely be back!

C. V.

Wonderful place for a function! We had our daughters 21st at the rear room recently, food was really delicious the half Thai Platter Table with extra 2 woks more than enough for our 30 guests, the cake just beautiful with fresh flowers on top, staff where very responsive to everyone''s requests. All guests left very happy. Highly recommend Paw Paw, special thanks to Candice for her assistance, definitely going back for more!

L. M.

Found Pawpaw cafe through Instagram and wanted to check it out. Very pleased with my choice of corn fritters and the iced coffee was also very nice. Understandably it was very busy being New Years Eve, but the staff were amazing. Would definitely go again, loved the styling of the cafe!

D. S.

Good morning the food was lovely and the service was good. Portions were considered by our group to more than sufficient. The coffee was also very nice. Overall a great experience.

My wife & I were fortunate enough to celebrate our wedding reception at Paw Paw cafe on the weekend. Giorgina and her staff were amazing, accomodating our every need at short notice after having to downsize from our original plans at another venue. A big shout out to Bryan who looked after us on the night he was fantastic. We would highly recommend holding any kind of function at the venue as we had every confidence that Giorgina And her staff would look after our every need. We must also mention the menu as it was incredible and all of our guests absolutely loved it and couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. Could recommend them highly enough!!

R. M.

Absolutely amazing food. Plus, I have never tasted (or not tasted) such clean water at a cafe or restaurant before, so clean!

I. P.

Great breakfast and smoothies. Went for the first time for lunch and also loved the Massaman beef cheek curry. It was to die for! Good servings as well.

T. K.

Amazing service and food was even better. Can’t fault it and am keen to get back again soon!

R. B.

Very kind & accommodating staff. Was so easy to be there with our babies in prams & access to high chairs. As well as baby change table. Food was delish having Gluten free & Keto diets! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Vibes & insta pics are good too! ❤️ Thanks Paw Paw 😘

B. S.

Thank you Paw paw cafe for helping make my baby shower a memorable celebration!! Everyone at my shower could rave more valour the good! It was the perfect mix of sweets and real food. You made my day so easy with delivering, setting up/styling the food and returning at the end to collect. I found your pricing competitive with other companies but there tables didn’t have more than grazing foods and feel my guests left feeling full on the day..! Thanks so much, will definitely use your services in the future.

J. S.

Food was delicious and presented very well. Service was excellent. A great place to meet with friends. Very clean and COVID safe.

A beautiful location in busy Gabba traffic flow. Excellent cocktails, I personally loved the Whole Fish with thai papaya salad. Decent sized serving. The Bao & Spring Roll is a must for entré.

S. B.

Always great good but especially attentive service as well. Very friendly. Highly recommend

S. M.

BEST. BREAKFAST. EVER! Been one of my faves for years and I always bring new people there and they love it too! Plus when they change to their dinner menus... AMAZING 😍! Cannot get enough of either 🙌🏽

L. C.

Paw Paw Cafe supplied the food for our Christmas party on the weekend at a function room in Rochedale. The food was sensational and they had no problem addressing nut and seafood allergies, vegetarians and vegans. The team who arrived and set up and then came back and packed up were quick and efficient. I would certainly recommend and am sure we will use them again in the future. Well done, great service and product.

y. k.

We got catering from pawpaw cafe (grazing platter) for our baby shower. Great selection of food, all very tasty, everyone loved it. Cater for all dietary restrictions. It’s was beautifully set up and they dropped it off for us too! All communication with them was quick and easy and they were very pleasant to deal with. Would highly recommend.

N. P.

Thai good cooked to perfection! Great balance of meat, vegetables and sauces. We are definitely coming back!

J. T.

Great venue! I recently had my babyshower at Paw Paw and it was amazing. I had the table platter, it was beautiful, the food was delicious and there was plenty of it.
