OMFG I can’t believe you people are saying Espresso head has awesome breakfast… yeah it might be awesome if you are on crack.. that shit is disgusting! everything is frozen and re-heated. they even do their scambled eggs in the microwave.. shame on you all for you lapse in taste.. I wouldn’t go there for breakfast if someone paid me to!

Some good places to eat are Atomica (not atomicas) and yeah if its busy you will have to wait a while for your breaky but it is amazing.. also Era bistro on Melbourne street has a very good breakfast, it is a little more expensive but the venue is very nice and the food is good. Although Atomica has THE best coffee so it makes it a tought choice between them.

Also lock & load had a good breakfast but unfortunately it is not always consistent… if you want a lucky dip on a good or shit breakfast I say go here and just cross you fingers!

Hi Tim (Quote 12)

Did you ever think that the chef might have washed his hands in the sink in the kitchen????

have been going to west end for years for weekend brekky. Tried Gun Shop, Atomica,Tongue & Groove but I keep going back to Espressohead. Best value in town. I was there one Sunday waiting to pay my bill when I overheard a very satisfied customer telling the waitress that he just had the best brekky ever in town & then corrected by saying best ever in Australia as he travels everwhere & has never come across food like that anywhere. Compliments to the chef. Keep up the hard work.

espresso head is not bad… though the last time I went there I was out the back of the cafe waiting to use the toilet. I saw a chef come out and begin to walk past me, do a double-take and then walk back to wash his hands…haven’t been back since.

I am writing an article for the QUT student mag, titled “Food Orgasms for Under $15″.

Which option breaky option should I review and put on the list?

The Tongue & Groove, Espressohead or Atomicas?

I want the BEST tasting breakfasts for the lowest cost and I would love your advice..I can’t choose between them!

Cheers,

Soph

i used to love the gunshop, it was my favourite place to go for brekkie on a saturday morning and we went there almost every week for over 2 years. They had fabulous food and coffee, and wonderful staff, even throughout the change of ownership. but the new owners are rude to their own customers, which makes me wonder how they treat their staff. After several bad experiences with the new owners, I’ve taken my brekkie business elsewhere.

I’m suprised that Cantina on Hardgrave Rd hasn’t been revewed good food reasonably priced and at times very lively with attentive service.(Not that I’m a fan haha)

Around the corner an up Vulture St from the main strip of West End is the Tongue and Groove cafe in Hardgrave Street. The Mother Groover is the ultimate big breakfast with the usual bacon, sausages, eggs, and bread. The twist is that the baked beans are actually spicy salsa beans and the hash browns are a home made delicacy.

An alternative to the groover is the pancakes. Pancakes, maple syrup, bacon and bananas - sometimes with an asian fruit to top it off.

I reckon it gives the Gunshop cafe and Espressohead a run for it’s money as to me it evokes a true West End feel. A little bit hippy, a little bit sharehouse, a little bit wooden queenslander. Unique.

I went to Atomica last weekend, yeah.. it was alright. Had to wait a while for the food. The food was great though, can’t complain about that, but the venue itself, meh… I’d still go to Espresso Head.

I would say espressohead is slightly better as the size of the meal you get is HUGE!!! And the prcies are still quiet cheap as well…. I have been to atomica is good but you pay for it and the meal servings are no where near as big as Espressohead.
