What a beautiful and relaxing vibe on a rainy Saturday morning! Genuine and kind service and such a lovely atmosphere! I could sit here all day sipping coffee with a book! Wholesome, welcoming and the utmost care is evident as soon as you walk in. It is on a main road, but the vibe and pleasantness overrides any traffic sounds

Such a delightful, relaxing place to visit. The staff are welcoming, friendly and offer professional advice. The coffee is among the best we’ve had in Brisbane. (Had to grab a takeaway coffee to enjoy on the way home. The small cup of flowers and coffee deal is something you should grab as a treat for yourself!) The cob loaf croissant was so delicious and my husband enjoyed the Benny toastie. There is a wonderful selection of plants for sale at reasonable prices. I couldn’t go past a mature peace lily. It is healthy and has been will cared for. This will be a go to place to visit when I’m in the area. I am so thankful a place like this exists.

I’ve been coming here on and off for approximately 5 years now, and every single time, I am reminded why I always keep coming back! This coffee/plant haven is the best hidden gem on the south side of Brissy. From great coffee to welcoming service, it ticks all of the cafe hospo boxes. Every time I’ve grabbed a coffee and bite to eat, I’ve always grabbed a plant (or two) when leaving. I also love the care advice given on how to tend to your plants so you know when to give them a little TLC. I should also mention, apart from the great atmosphere, I find the plants are always of quality and reasonably priced. I also know for a fact the owner also spends a lot of time caring for the greenery so you know you’re buying quality - definitely a case of ‘the early bird gets the worm’ during busy periods if you want to get your hands on some beautiful plants!! I love their in house workshops too, such a cool idea for bringing friends and the community together! If you’re thinking about going, do yourself a favour and go!!! Epilo will always be one of my favourite coffee shops and it should be one of yours too!
