Capulet Espresso — Restaurant in Greater Brisbane

Capulet is a small café on King Street. The four or five customers who were already there when we dropped in had obviously been there many times before as the farewells were friendly chats with the lady behind the counter.

The café is part of a complex of shops, and whether by the wishes of the business-owners or officialdom, the parking in front of the shops is limited to fifteen minutes. This is not a major problem as there is plenty of parking within walking distance just around the corner. Where we actually parked.

The café is neat and tidy, with the tables cleared as soon as the customer leaves.

The printed menu has an interesting, decorative font which could be something to do with the name of the café. As Capulet is part of the Romeo and Juliet story, and Juliet being the Capulet, perhaps the font is indicative of the era. But this is just my imagination at work.

For a mid-morning break we chose a cup of coffee and a piece of cake from the display cabinet. Mine had a generous topping of sesame seeds, which I thoroughly enjoyed as I like a bit of crunch.

A pleasant place to take a break, looked after by a very friendly,...

Bith options offer shelter from the elements. The service is friendly and timely. It's a fresh and clean fitout with a restful colour scheme. The music is a good blend of tunes that are not intrusive. Give it a go. It might become your new...

Not sure what’s happening at this cafe.

First visit was great, takeaway coffee was good, friendly staff.

Second visit was good coffee, friendly staff but our coffee orders got mixed up, which wasn’t the end of the world.

Third and most recent visit we were instructed to walk inside to the cash register and then order online. I attempted and failed to order online as my phone reception was slow.

When I mentioned this, a number of times, there was no offer for us to order and pay at the register, so we couldn’t get a coffee and walked out.

I guess they don’t want us...
