HOT: Australian Barista School – 131 Wickham Tce, Spring Hill.

By CazM ⋅ June 30, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Since I’ve known him, MM has always wanted to do a course on how to make the perfect coffee. So, being the exceptional wife that I am, I bought him (and me!) a spot at Australian Barista School for his birthday last month. There seems to be plenty of coffee schools around Brisbane, but this [...]

HOT: Castelli’s, 2/11 Nash St, Rosalie

By CazM ⋅ June 28, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

With a myriad of cafes and restaurants to choose from in the busy Rosalie area, I was really pleased with my random selection of Castelli’s when on a lunch date with an old friend recently. Castelli’s has been tucked in next to Cold Rock at Rosalie for as long as I can remember. Although I’ve [...]

HOT: Kenchington Patisserie & Fine Tea, 12 Park Rd, Milton

By CazM ⋅ June 25, 2010 ⋅ One comment

I would normally boast to know Park Rd like the back of my hand, after working in very close proximity for the last decade and lunching up there at least once a week. I’m ashamed to admit however that I’ve fallen into a habit of frequenting the same old haunts for too long, and have [...]

HOT: The Coffee Supplier, Stereo Lane, Elizabeth St, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ June 18, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

Coffee lovers pay attention!! Could it be I have stumbled across one of Brisbane’s best kept coffee secrets? Or could it be I’m just out of touch and I’m actually very late to the party? Whatever it is….I’ve found it and I like it. The Coffee Supplier is Brisbane’s first CBD located boutique roaster and [...]

HOT: Groove Train, 123 Eagle St, Brisbane

By CazM ⋅ June 16, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Whether I’m out on a morning run or an enjoying an evening in the city with friends, my favourite spots are those that track alongside the river. In the mornings there’s something very peaceful and surreal about how the sparkling river bends around the city, with the sun reflecting off the imposing buildings above – [...]

HOT: Cibo Espresso, 4/85 Merthyr Road, New Farm

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ June 7, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Another HOT review today from the Jetsetting Parents, as they sample more of the great treats that the ever growing community of New Farm has to offer. Coffee Culture is well and truly alive in New Farm and its neighbouring suburbs, if the abundance of coffee shops is of any indication. Amidst this strong competition, [...]

HOT: Chill Bar Dining, Cnr Oxford 7 Cambridge Sts, Bulimba

By CazM ⋅ June 1, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Is it nasty to review a restaurant on what is probably one of busiest days of the year, second to perhaps Valentine’s Day? Personally, I think it’s fair enough to put venues through their paces and test their agility on super-busy occasions and I’m pleased to say Chill Bar nailed it when MM and I [...]

HOT: Vue Lounge, 83 Methyr Road, New Farm

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ May 25, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Today we have another review from Jetsetting Mum, who is our eyes and ears on the streets of New Farm! Her latest post gives us the low down on the very popular Vue Lounge. Jetsetting Dad and I have been going to Vue Lounge for years, occasionally when we were still living on the other [...]

HOT: Brio Espresso & Juice, 8/36 Vernon Terrace, Newstead

By CazM ⋅ April 12, 2010 ⋅ 5 comments

I often wonder if I serve the Hot or Not readers any justice at all when I review breakfast locations. No matter where I dine for breaky, I can never go past the bacon and eggs. Let it be known from now on then, that whenever CazM does breakfast, there’s a caveat attached that minimal menu [...]

HOT: Buzz Bistro, Shop 22 Emporium, 1000 Ann St, Fortitude Valley

By Jetsetting Joyce ⋅ January 29, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I’m not even going to bother with the puns about ‘buzzing Buzz‘ or ‘lots of buzz about Buzz‘ – you’ve probably heard them all already. So let me just say that bright and cheery Buzz (love the red and white stripey awnings) served up one of the most satisfying and delicious breakfasts that I’ve had in a while. [...]
