Vend Marketplace and Cafe Annerley — Attraction in Brisbane City

Vend is like a fever dream for people who love nick nacks, the choices are endless and are all so lovely you can barely figure out where to look first. There are so many funky earring stores, there's a medically inclusive clothes stall, an INCREDIBLE crystal stall (name: crystalhaven), a treats stall (every single thing there is heavenly I've tried quite a few), loads of artists displaying their art in varies forms (peak the bookmarks), some aromatherapy type stalls, a couple of resin design shops, baby clothes and infant cups/bowls etc. I'm missing out majority of the places because there's too many to even remember. The best part is there's always new things in the same stalls to look at from the vendors having to refill stock but with new stuff! I visited twice in 2 weeks and I brought different stuff from the same stores (and some new places!) both times. The staff are amazing, full of energy and geniunely seem happy to be apart of this little community vend has created. Hats off to whoever had this idea, I love it with every fibre...

Went on opening weekend to have a look & it was so nice to see new place (formally the old Pillow Talk building) fitted out especially for local markets that is also dog friendly.

A variety of vendors, a great place to pick up a gift, have a walk around & have a bite to eat at the really nice cafe inside. Very roomy, great pram & wheelchair access too! The staff were super friendly & there is also a seating area out the front along with a little fenced off play area for the little ones to run around in.

There are a few dedicated pram & disable parks right out front & some parking undercover otherwise plenty of parking in the surrounding streets. Easy to get there via public transport as well.

Highly recommend & will...

A hidden gem in Annerley!! Has an amazing cafe with plenty of food choices that cater to different dietary requirements, as well as inside and outside seating (both quiet even around lunchtime on a weekday). Haven’t had a chance to try the drinks yet so can’t comment on the coffee but would love to come back and try it next time! There is a very cute selection of small shops arranged into a marketplace with heaps of item selections, the variety was amazing! Loved coming here for the first time and will definitely keep this in the rotation to come back to, bonus is that it’s super close to PA hospital too! Easily of the best cafes near the hospital and a must visit if you’re...
