Excellent coffee spot - with speciality coffee and good baristas. Tucked away in a suburban shopping strip located on a main roundabout intersection. It is unsurprisingly very popular given the quality and convenient parking. It has a few tables outside to chill and chat. Dog friendly - even provides a tie up post. …

Strong, bold coffee with a solid kick. Definitely stands out compared to the most spots around. One of the best coffee we have had around Brisbane.

This is easily the best coffee in the area. The barista's really know their coffee and are the kind who are actually interested in the industry, beans, methods and machines outside of just working at Zen. The little treats really are hand made and are delicious. … I think what really matters in a good coffee shop is consistency. The coffee is always the same quality, the baristas remember your name and welcome you.

I’ve been having my daily coffee at Zen for the last 7 years and always find it exceptionally good. There’s also a great range of cakes & slices, take away breakfast options and sandwiches. Best coffee in the area by miles and the most friendly baristas Highly recommend

Lovely start to each day. Great coffee and slices. Rare to get handmade slices as opposed to the mass produced sweets in most places. Peppermint slice is my favourite.
