The charming cottage cafe with indoor and outdoor dining, is known for its unique Asian-classic brunch fusion menu (one of the few cafes in Brisbane to blend Asian creativity with classic brunch staples). With almost everything crafted from scratch inhouse, from crispy hash browns to sauces, dressings, and even spice blends, The Kelsey Cafe is a foodie's dream.
