Vivo Cafe Morningside — Restaurant in Brisbane City

The staff are lovely, the coffee is average, and the eggs Benedict is horrendous.

The cabinet food I've had from here previously is better than what I ordered.

We ordered 2x hazelnut lattes and although they weren't bad they weren't good. We have had better around the corner in Hawthorne. It lacked any flavour, tasted more like a regular latte and a bit on the bitter side/ tasted over extracted. Coffee lacked any body.

I ordered the eggs Benedict substituting the croissant with sourdough toast. The bacon was hard and stale, the poached eggs were well under to the point the egg whites were not cooked and translucent, and were snotty in texture, the spinach you received was three leaves and a small drizzle of hollandaise. The presentation was annoying to eat due to both eggs being placed on one slice of toast and the bacon on the other so in order to eat it as a meal you had to deconstruct it to reconstruct it so you had toast, spinach, bacon then egg and hollandaise. The bread was tough to the point of when trying to cut through it your bacon would land on the table. Trying to pick up the bacon with a fork took 4-5 stabs. The hollandaise did taste good though... Just not enough for a meal.

Pretty disappointed, but know now to not order this dish from them.

My partner ordered the waffles and...

This cafe is amazing! I love Vivo coffee!

The staff are just what you need in the morning smiles and assistance and they make you feel wanted and welcome.

The coffee is fabulous and I get a touch of chocolate in mine to break it up.

The ham and cheese croissants are delicious and they sell these delicious little nut bars that are simply divine! My partner loves them!

The food offerings are fresh and healthy and they sell out fast at 12pm so go early! The only downside is I am no longer going to Morningside 5 days a week so I will miss my morning coffee and the smiles from my mates at VIVO. But I will look for excuses to head that way 😉 and grab a coffee.

Thanks for making me...

My second visit, being back in the area a year after the first (see first review below). It says something that I’d remembered my experience and looked forward to going back. Expectations were high… and they were surpassed. Different staff but just as friendly and prompt. Ordered the avocado smash again and it was amazing. They’d tweaked it, elevating it to something a bit unique, but still classic. Coffee was excellent. Really good. It was busier this year too, at the same time of day, so word is getting out. From my experiences at some of the best cafes in South East Qld, this is awfully close to the top. Crazy considering the location! Worth going out of...
