I popped in at about 7:00am on a Friday morning. There was one person being served in front of me and I was served quickly. I didn’t buy food, but was impressed by what was on offer. The coffee was perfect. There were places inside and in the street to sit. The staff were friendly and efficient.

Window display was what brought me into the store. I got a crispy chicken wrap for $9.95 . Not crispy but good flavour and spices. I think if they toasted it a bit longer it would have been better. The size is really good (not like those skinny soul origin wraps). Totally satisfied after eating it. Their buffet on the other side looks good . I may come back to try it but I don’t see a price.

I always enjoy starting my day with breakfast at La Luca. The staff is warm and friendly (despite a 6am start) and the food is always fresh with many options. Highly recommend the Paleo warp. Not excluding the availability of hot sauce!

I love the buffet here, as a vegetarian there are always so many yummy options for me. It is always my Friday go-to for lunch & I pick up an extra take away to reheat later for dinner. Very fair pricing for a filling, delicious meal. Oh and great service, the staff are all lovely

My absolute favourite lunch bar in BNE! For work, I’m in Brisbane stmt least 3-5 times a month. This is my staple lunch bar because the options are always delicious, fresh & excellent value. The lunch buffet is my go to for fresh delicious food that is not heavy. A mixture of fresh salads & staples (lasagne, Alfredo, Mac n cheese). I can’t recommend this place enough

Easily the best breakfast in Brisbane. I’ve come 5/6 days of my vacation and have never been disappointed. The eggs Benedict with halloumi is divine. The avo smash is insane, the bagel creations and delicious and even the simple breads are delectable. You cannot go wrong with a La Luca breakfast.

Nice and cozy cafe with delicious coffee and some nice Italian breakfast and lunch food options. Breakfast they have paninis and wraps typical Mediterranean/ Italian style . For lunch they have open buffet so you can pick and choose your own. Coffee is quite decent and perfect blend.
