The team and I come down to Nikau Espresso every week for brekky and coffee and they never disappoint! The food and coffee are always spot on. The catering is amazing and Mea and the team are always happy to accommodate any of our requests. One of the best cafe's in the area! Highly recommend!

It's close to my work and I had not been to this cafe so thought it's time to try them. All press is coffee of their choice. I'm not a big fan of them but the barista made it really nice. As another reviewer mentioned, service was a bit slow but girls working there were very nice. The space is full of light and very spacious. It's not a bad place if you like milky coffee and are office worker who needs a coffee before/during work.

Our office has used Nikau Espresso for catering twice now and the food is absolutely delicious. They were able to do some hot and cold finger food for our morning tea function and Melbourne Cup including muffins, scones, slices, fruit, sausage rolls and warm tarts. Our staff thoroughly enjoyed everything that was served. Mea was so easy to work with giving us options on what to serve. Would highly recommend for any office catering you might need.

My entire team switched to this cafe for our regular morning coffees because of the price but have stayed for the fantastic service! Sophie and the rest of the team are absolutely lovely, and they churn out coffees like I've never seen before. Arguably the best and speediest service in Brisbane They make a delicious vanilla latte. I've also had their pesto and fetta pasta which was tasty and fresh, and the small size was more than enough for me.
