Little Glass Room Espresso Bar

Little Glass Room Espresso Bar is a chic cafe in Mt Gravatt serving traditional breakfast faves along with authentic Thai-flavoured dishes for brunch.  

Perched on the corner of Logan and Creek Roads, this elegant espresso bar is a sibling for award-winning Modern Thai restaurant. Customers can dine inside the sophisticated space with little marble-topped tables filling the room, or with their furry friends in a cosy, open air and undercover dining area.

The all-day menu boasts breakfast favourites from eggs on artisan sourdough toast, to mashed avocado on rye with cherry tomatoes and micro-herbs, and eggs benny with housemade sriracha hollandaise sauce on toasted Turkish bread; while standouts include Forbidden Rice (steamed black rice pudding served with coconut cream and seasonal fruit) and traditional Thai breakfast soup (flavour-filled rice soup with minced chicken, mushrooms, ginger, coriander and fried garlic).

Lunch dishes include popular Thai street food such as pad see ew (stir-fried rice noodles with egg, beef and Asian greens) and Pad Thai (stir-fried noodles with chicken, egg, bean sprouts and peanuts), plus pork belly salad, crispy barramundi salad, and softshell crab burgers on brioche buns.

In addition, there's flaky croissants and delicious Danishes, as well as scrumptious desserts like melt-in-your-mouth macarons and patisserie-style petite cakes.  

Coffee on pour is The Cat's Pyjamas, a rich chocolaty blend by Seven Miles, locally roasted in Newstead. Otherwise, there's single origin coffee, organic looseleaf tea, hot chocolate, chai latte, matcha latte, Thai iced coffee, milkshakes, fruit juices, and fresh coconut in the shell.
