Foxy Bean - EAST BRISBANE

This was my second Saturday morning breakfast at Foxy Bean. This morning was relatively busy though there were still tables free. My partner and I ordered coffees and there was a noticeable wait for them. Today the boyfriend just wanted a plain breakfast so he ordered the "Eggs Your Way" (fried) with added bacon and potato rosti. I went with the Haloumi Bruschetta. We had a bottle of water brought to the table upon arrival which we had almost finished before the coffees arrived (we are thirsty people!). Of the 2-3 times waitresses were at our table, no one noticed. Yes, we could have asked but we didn't. The coffees arrived, minus spoons, which is okay I guess considering we both don't take sugar. The meals came out in reasonable time - not super fast but we had nowhere to be. My partner paid $4 extra for potato rostis but received 3 hash browns. He had thought he was ordering rostis as in grated fried potatoes. He normally wouldn't order hash browns so I think that item should be renamed. Aside from that, he enjoyed his simple breakfast. Mine was tasty and large. One thing I can say is their meals are value for money. Decent offering of thick, soft, grilled haloumi with onions, mushrooms and tomatoes on sourdough. Small amount of thinly sliced chorizo. The food is solidly good, not great. We also ordered a take away coffee to go and despite writing it down, the order of medium extra shot take away arrived a while later as a small single shot in a cup. The service is friendly but somewhat slow and inattentive. We would still return if we were in the vicinity again and if we found a park easily (circled the block 3 times before parking 2 blocks away!!).

Inside of the cafe looks good and original, friendly stuff. We were a group of six , we ordered a different food for the brunch. The quality of food was ok (not wow!) with decent size great coffee, however we had to wait for about an hour to have the food on the table ???????? we were a bit upset while waiting and when we asked them why it has taken so long, they said because we're too busy today!

Were told on a Sunday morning that there would be a wait on food, which we were totally fine with, but an 1+ hour wait for breakfast, without any further contact from staff, is just really not acceptable. We were moved from our original table due to a reservation, with no apology. After an hour once we finally received our food, I had to send mine back as it was incorrect. While the others in our small group enjoyed their food, it definitely wasn't worthy of such a wait. The only redeeming quality was one waitress with good customer service. All other staff were horrible, not one apology for the wait and extreme sass. I never leave bad reviews, but this whole experience just really wasn't acceptable. Extremely disappointed and definitely will not be back again!

We've been here for brunch on a weekday twice. The coffee mugs are huge and taste great. There's also not many people late in the morning, so go then if you need some quiet. Eggs on toast is perfect and the big breakfast is just enough. The place itself is cute, though the inside is a bit too dimly lit for me and the tables outside have been sticky from the alcohol. Otherwise, totally recommend.
