Aunty Paul's Cafe Bar sits comfortably on Moggill Road in Taringa, offering a laid-back spot where locals pause their day for solid coffee and straightforward, comforting breakfasts. The cafe leans into its role as a neighbourhood hub rather than a trendy destination—here, you feel like you’re dropping by a friend’s place more than a commercial chain.

It’s the kind of spot where a small flat white with an extra shot is more than just a caffeine fix; it’s a morning ritual. Coffee consistently draws praise from regulars and newcomers alike, holding its own among Brisbane’s broader café scene. Seating is comfortable and casual, suitable for a quick stop while running errands or a gentle break in between appointments.

Breakfast options underscore the café’s focus on uncomplicated, quality fare. Smashed avocado on sourdough topped with house-made dukkah and pesto provides a fresh, textured start to the day, while the big breakfast offers a heartier alternative. The salmon scramble with chilli crisp is notable not only for the dish itself but also because the chilli crisp is available for purchase, hinting at an attention to detail that extends beyond the plate.

The menu’s weekly specials keep things interesting without overwhelming the regular lineup, and a range of dairy-free smoothies alongside inventive hot drinks—like the sticky chai latte, turmeric latte, and red velvet latte masala—caters to varied tastes and adds warmth on cooler days.

Service here leans friendly and unpretentious. Staff take the time to step in with thoughtful touches like remaking a latte without fuss, or bringing out experimental bites for regular diners to try. The owner’s presence is subtly felt, contributing a personal layer to the café experience that resonates with those who appreciate a sense of community.

Morning visits midweek or weekends tend to be most rewarding—this is when the café buzzes quietly with people grabbing breakfast, catching up with friends over coffee, or settling in to read or work. Families find space here too, with children’s options like scrambled eggs and waffles earning smiles from younger visitors.

Overall, Aunty Paul’s caters best to locals and travellers looking for a relaxed, unpretentious morning spot where the emphasis is on well-made coffee, approachable food, and an atmosphere that feels quietly familiar without being overly styled. It’s neither hurried nor flashy, but it’s precisely that steady, welcoming vibe that draws people back.

Reviews seemed good so we came for a visit, google needs a 5+ option for when 5 isn’t enough. Coffee was solid and better than most in QLD so far. Kids had scrambled eggs and the special of waffles. Both loved them. The real winner was the Reuben. As a regular Reuben eater they can be good, bad or indifferent; rarely are they noteworthy. This one was outstanding. Plenty of pickles, not too much dressing and solid amount of meat. Worth the trip just for this

Stopped by Aunty Paul’s today for coffee and breakfast and had such a great experience. Emilia was an absolute gem — she kindly made me two oat milk lattes after I let the first one go cold, without a hint of fuss. She also made an excellent salmon scramble with a yummy chilli crisp on the side (which you can buy by the jar at the café — I’ve used it in a lot of my own cooking and love it). When the meal arrived I thought it was way too much, but it was so good I ended up eating almost all of it. Zero regrets. Emilia even managed to upsell me in the retail space — I walked out with a couple of funny hats for last-minute Christmas gag gifts and some very cute Christmas cards. Aunty Paul’s is always a joy to visit, especially if you like good music and comfy throw blankets, but special shout-out to Emilia for maintaining the high standards I’ve always associated with this wonderful local café. Can’t wait to come back

Killing time in-between medical appointments I decided to call into Aunty Paul's café Bar for the first time around 09:30am on Tuesday 23/09/25, I didn't have much time & only ordered one cappuccino, served within 10 mins & delicious in taste. Paid AUD $5.50 Comfy seating & friendly staff. Hope to return soon & perhaps call in for breakfast or Lunch.

Guys when I say I can’t fault this place I truly can’t! Service is impeccable, friendly and so welcoming! I had a lovely Coffee and Peach and Ricotta muffin it was truly unreal! Even got a complimentary cold pressed juice shot! Where else does that happen, you can tell that the owner really puts his all into this place and I love to see it! Thankyou for making my Saturday morning so enjoyable and can’t wait to be back!
