Corner Store Cafe

Toowong

Updated: Feb 26, 2026

Had all corner shops been like Toowong's Corner Store Cafe, with its airy dining pavilion, herb garden and serving excellent coffee and cafe fare, they may all still be alive today.

Despite its location out on a limb on a busy road, the cute weatherboard cafe, occupying the shell of an aforementioned store and still stocking some grocery staples in its front room, attracts a crowd.

Foodwise, the breakfast menu features dishes like house-made Belgian waffles; pork & leek fritters; salmon croffle; chai spiced granola; and Greek style herb and tomato scrambled eggs.

Need to know - Corner Store Cafe is also great for children with the (well-fenced) backyard vegie patch to roam.
