"Lovely little gem hidden away in the suburbs. Love the decor and atmosphere. Bagels are great here and would highly recommend them. Also had the avo smash which is typical what you’d get at any cafe. Only comment is to not go here super hungry because wait time can take a while. Other than that, super chilled place to go and always coming back :)"

"Beautiful, friendly and funny barista who made me feel very welcomed into this quirky, cosy cafe! Al Browns Ugly Bagels in NZ are hard to beat but I think this kiwi couple have found it’s equal here at Scout! Excellent coffee tasty as bagels will very much enjoy trips to the city knowing we can visit here again."

"Blink and you’ll miss this gem. Genuinely friendly servers and warm atmosphere. Stumbled across this place which is located across from Hardgrave Park and with 4 hour side street parking. On a beautiful sunny Sunday having a breaky wrap"

"After attending a matinee at the nearby Cinemas I was walking back to my hotel on Wickham Terrace, when I came across the Scout Cafe amongst the parklands. I had a great tasting and delicious sandwich and a hearty cappuccino."

"Best coffee, atmosphere and food. We enjoyed Scout Cafe every bit - and if we were to visit Brisbane again, Scout Cafe would be number one on our list to return to. Especially shout out to the owners, who gave us great recommendations and made us feel right at home - and just were exceptionally nice all around. All the best from Sofie and Christian (the Danes)"

"Great food and such a lovely atmosphere! The inside of the cafe is literally a living room with a fireplace and art all over the walls. Got the Scout Deli toastie and meat version of Scout’s Honour. Food took a while to come but it’s a nice place to sit and relax so we didn’t mind at all."
