The Brooke

Fortitude Valley

Updated: Jan 22, 2019

The Brooke is a charming coffee nook nestled in the forecourt of a beautiful, heritage-listed former church in Fortitude Valley.

Located on Brookes Street between Wickham and Ann Streets, the former historic Methodist church (now an architectural studio) provides a stunning backdrop for The Brooke.

Offering a quiet respite from the Valley’s hustle and bustle, customers can relax in The Brooke’s shady surrounds with bench seating and bistro tables and chairs while enjoying a well-brewed cup of coffee by Espresso di Manfredi.

And for a bite to eat, The Brooke has a range of freshly baked muffins, homemade frittatas and delicious sandwiches on housemade focaccia.
