Kin

We visited Kin on Sunday and understand that weekend dining is limited to outdoor takeaway seating. However, it was raining heavily, and despite the worsening weather, customers were sitting outside at the takeaway seatings. We asked whether indoor seating could be opened given the circumstances but were told no, and there was no further check-in from staff. After about 30 minutes, a staff member apologised and asked us to move as the furniture needed to be brought in due to the rain. This was disappointing, as a bit more flexibility and attentiveness to customer comfort—especially during heavy rain—would have made a big difference. Kin is otherwise a great café, which made this experience unfortunate.

Coffee people need to relax, slow down, have a matcha. I have been to many cafes, and drunk many drinks, and this matcha is noteworthily (?) good. No bells, no whistles. No strawberry, no vanilla, no honey. Just matcha. The brekky roll is perfect in what it is, but could use some bells and whistles. A little side, a little microherb garnish, a little SOMETHING. It lacked spark and sparkle. It left me satisfied where I wanted to be thrilled. Woo me, brekky roll - sweep me off my feet. The acai bowl is feet-sweepingly good. I've never been an acai guy, but nothing says "he's in his basic white girl era" like pilates, matcha, and acai (minus the pilates, I don't think they offer that here). This acai bowl full of colour and fills me with a childlike fascination. The hole in the wall is giving laneway vibes on the main thoroughfare which is pretty slay. I think you can sit inside too, but why do that when you could show off your new activewear and sneakers in full sun?

Got a breakfast burger last weekend that was drenched in oil and was almost inedible. The oil was dripping and soaked through the box but the chef told us it was “how it is meant to be”. These photos show how much oil there was and it was disgusting. No one would help us and it was just normal apparently. That is not normal. We had to use napkins to actually wipe the oil off because it was disgusting.

The drinks here are next level — smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. Whether you’re a hardcore matcha fan or just curious, there’s something on the menu for everyone. I tried the iced strawberry matcha latte and it was honestly one of the best I’ve had in Brisbane. Not too sweet, super creamy, and that real matcha flavour comes through beautifully. The space itself is calm, minimal, and aesthetic — perfect for a catch-up, a quiet moment, or a sneaky photo for the ’gram 📸 Staff are friendly, the vibe is relaxed, and you can tell everything’s made with care. Definitely one of my new favourite spots in the area. A must-visit if you’re into matcha or Japanese-inspired drinks!

yum! great little brekky spot - I got the dippy eggs and a pistachio matcha and both were delicious. The brunch and matcha girlies, this is your spot!!

Hands down, the best matcha I've ever had - I strongly recommend the pistachio matcha over ice on a hot day! The avocado toast was also so delicious - a really great portion size and ingredients tasted very fresh. The staff were awesome, providing lots of help and suggestions as it was my first time and I really wasn't sure what to order. I'm planning on going back the next time I'm in Brisbane!

We ordered the June Special drink, iced long black, iced pistachio matcha, iced chocolate, pizza toastie, and brekky roll at our visit today. The food and the special drink were really good, but the pistachio matcha didn’t have a balanced flavour. Overall its a nice experience, however, the short haired waitress took our plates and glasses without saying anything, which made us pause our conversation for a few seconds 😓

Yummy dining experience. Indoor seating available too. Great coffee and generous portions for breakfast. Highly recommend the banana bread from Agnes - tastes like gingerbread. The staff were very attentive and friendly.

Overall Experience: Continuous visitor of Kin + Co. Still remains one of the best overall cafes in Brisbane. The service is great, the ambience is warm and the food is consistently good. Highly recommend the smashed avocado with feta and the açai bowl with coconut yoghurt and peanut butter. Oh also, top 5 coffee in Brisbane too.

What a healthy little dose of pep Kin + Co adds to this stretch of Macquarie Street! This pop of on-trend styling is backed up with a menu (think fresh healthy eats) and coffee (locally roasted Cleanskin) to make any morning (or brunch) worth the effort. We dined as a group of 5 on a Sunday morning and it couldn't have been more relaxed. Coffee orders were taken as menus were laid before us and we were given plenty of time to consider what we'd like to order as we natted away. Between us all we managed to sample key menu items including the avocado on toast, wilted greens with qunioa and a poached eggs and the exceptionally Summer fresh granola with fresh fruits. So, why not grab your bike and make the trek to Teneriffe this weekend!

You must go to Kin + Co! Modern, clean, sleek, & chic, are all appropriate words to describe the beautiful minimalist interior. Kin + Co at 24 Macquarie St Teneriffe, appears to just be a hole-in-the-wall coffee takeaway joint, but it is indeed a cafe once you've realised that there is a main entrance (which we totally missed!). Luckily for us, Tim (an acquaintance from Reverend's), was there to show us the way. Well rounded coffee from Clean Skin Coffee, with subtle flavours; a little caramel, & some sweetness. All expertly made by the man of many talents Larry (designer & fashion blogger extraordinaire). We had the: The "Shakshuka ($14)" Beans, onions, capsicum, tomatoes, spices, 2 cracked eggs & thick soughdough bread. Vg, gf & vegan options available. It was delicious, well balanced, & satisfying. Sourdough is perfect for scooping up all the sauce & beans. The Sautéed brioche with torched bananas, creme patisserie & salted caramel ($16) was so decadent; it took our taste buds on a sweet date to ecstasy-land. It was so delicious, & such a generous serving. Unfortunately we couldn't finish it all; so full! Kin + Co's menu is consistent with the cafe's pared-down style. Simple but done really well! Vegetarian, Vegan & Gluten Free options, & price-wise, nothing appeared to be over $16. Most definitely coming back here. Open Monday to Friday 6am till 2pm. Saturday & Sunday 7am till 2pm.

Very poor management. Definitely not recommended. A few weeks ago a waitress with an accent who just yelled me after I told me to take my order.

Food was OK. Can't complain about the service, there was none. It's also super loud so if you want to be able to talk to your friends at the table - go elsewhere.

A street view sometimes can lead you into not coming into a venue, as has the case in this situation. Have driven past here millions of times, but finally got here from a recommendation from my partner. The street view is very miss leading, once you do get here , you enter down the stairs, it opens up to a massive area. The service was good , prompt, the food was delicious and the coffee tasty, try the blueberry smoothie. Would highly recommend.

What a great little surprise in Newstead. I tried this place out for the first time this morning for breakfast and really enjoyed it. Totally agree with another review: it does look very unassuming from the outside but inside it is warm and welcoming. The food was great. I went for avocado and goat's cheese on sourdough, with poached eggs. Savoury mince, the breakfast burger and omelette were also well-received at our table. Coffee was top notch. Service was friendly and efficient. I liked the atmosphere inside and loved the green touches. Would definitely return.

One of the best breakfast spots in Brisbane. The coffee is great, poached eggs on rye sourdough is perfect every time, and the eggs Benedict is the best I've had anywhere. I eat here at least a couple of times a month and never get sick of it. Lots of space and friendly staff. A hidden gem!

Absolutely sensational spot. Fantastic atmosphere, filled with plants and a great welcoming vibe. They also happen to be serving a boss range of filter coffee from a favourite of mine down in Tasmania, Villino Coffee (Seriously, everyone in Aussie should get onto these guys!) Brisbane is definitely hot spot for great espresso based coffee at the moment, but it's also really heartening seeing more and more cafes take that leap in pushing the filter style brew methods as well. These guys do a great job food wise, and absolutely nailed the filter as well. I had a Trinity for the first time which was delicate and balanced, with a slightly heavier mouthfeel than regular pour over style methods. Delish. Will definitely be back when i'm in Brisbane next.

Very original menu and food that will surprise you. Location is great and the vibe very relaxed. Very kid friendly.

Best breakfast in town. Try the kin and co eggs Benedict, it is sensational. The rye bread they use is the best bread you will eat. Great coffe, great service, can't go wrong!

Fantastic atmosphere, good customer service and even though they were busy everyone was ready to help and got us a table very quickly!

Wonderful space inside, coffee was excellent, service prompt and polite and food was great. What more could you want!
