Friendly staff, good coffee. Walk by here almost daily with my dog. Would come here more often for coffee if he'd get a little dog treat with my order like other local cafes do (just a suggestion! My dog makes the rules and chooses where to stop for a coffee).

Highly recommend if you have food allergies. As someone who has a few inc GF sometimes means eating out can be a challenge. The staff were amazing and created a yummy salad for lunch and careful to ensure nothing was going to cause an allergic reaction. This lunch put a big smile on my face and made my day. Thank you

Excellent food,service and coffee will definitely be back.Only came here for the first time as our regular cafe has changed management and is temporarily closed for renovations .So glad we decided to give Roo Kitchen and Bar a try . Ate outside so did not give a rating for atmosphere ,but will update review if we eat inside.Street seating was enjoyable , but went early Saturday morning so may vary throughout the day.

With 20 years of experience these guys know how to do it right. Fast, convivial and convincing. They don’t serve food, they serve cuisine. Excellence all round. And easy access.

Consistently the best coffee I've ever had, they're yet to let me down! This place has become my go to since moving to the area 18 months ago. Although I've only dined in a couple times, myself and anyone else I've brought with me have only ever had wonderful things to say about their food. Specifically the French toast, maple bacon croissant & their cheeseburger. Parking can be sparse being on Beaudesert Road, but you can catch on-street parking sometimes. Otherwise plenty of parking at the Woolies a couple metres down the road. Alyce & the crew are super friendly too, you can tell they really value their customers!

We have been coming to this location for a couple of years. The Roo Kitchen and Bar is located along Beaudesert Road, with both indoor and outdoor seating under the footpath awning. Friendly and fast service, very nice coffee and a good range of snacks or menu options. There is parking in and around the Moorvale shopping area. Bus stops also call in here.

OMG! One of the best breakfasts I've had in Brisbane in the last 5 years! Amazing food! Found the place by sheer coincidence but will definitely be back! Great coffee to go with it as well!
