Cafe 63

Café 63 at Springwood is a fantastic family eatery boasting an enormous menu, spacious deck, and a beautiful leafy outlook.

Located alongside the sprawling Springwood Park, this new addition to the popular Brisbane cafe chain has really won the Location Lottery.

If you get a chance, make sure you sit outside on the deck under one of the trademark black-and-white umbrellas. The tranquil setting and the abundance of trees will have you marvelling over just how peaceful this place is.

The deck is dog friendly, and there’s a lovely fenced boardwalk extending down through a leafy corridor for those wanting to get moving after a meal, or simply take a wander while sipping on a takeaway coffee.

Food wise there’s something for absolutely everyone (we're talking well over 100 menu offerings!), whether you're after breakfast, lunch, dinner or even just a snack and a drink. The servings are generous, and with names like Donald Duck, Sir Don and Boxing Kangaroo, they’re a whole lot of fun, too.

The drink range is similarly extensive, with options including coffee, tea, freshly-squeezed juices, smoothies, frappes, shakes, and alcoholic offerings such as wine, beer, cider and spirits.

Handily, all menu items are available all day, meaning you can have a 400g rump steak with a side of oysters for brekky, and waffles and ice cream for dinner if you so desire.

Nice to know – If you’re in a hurry, a selection of food (wraps, rolls, toasted sandwiches) and drink items are available to take away.

Need to know – Café 63 and the linked boardwalk are wheelchair accessible. Car parking is available in the adjoining aged-care facility, or a short walk away in Springwood Park.
