Food: brother espresso

Brisbane’s CBD is often lacking when it comes to tasty, simple, fresh food so the recent opening of Brother Espresso on Margaret Street is cause for celebration. Brothers Luke and Sam have converted this space in the heritage listed Watson Brothers Building into a haven of cool simplicity, complete with a wall dedicated to stencil art. Located next door to Victor Cycles, Brother Espresso is proving popular with the city’s cyclists due to its bike friendly attitude and healthy, tasty food. Luke and Sam are as passionate about food as they are about coffee and lunch here is based around fresh ingredients which can either be mixed together to create an exciting salad or put inside a turkish pocket for a fantastic toasted sandwich option. Make-your-own salad ingredients include wild rocket, baby spinach, penne pasta, thyme, roasted pumpkin, kalamata olives, twice smoked bacon, hungarian salami, tasmanian smoked salmon, lemon peppered tiger prawns, chili tofu, fetta and avocado to name but a few. Delicious Turkish pockets or toasties can be made from these options as well, and all for under $10! All we need now is a Brother Espresso on James Street so the map team can indulge everyday!
