Early Birds Espresso - Ascot

Are you an early bird? Do you like espresso? And finally, do like to shop for clothes and gift ideas? Hmm, I think I know what you're thinking. What if I don't like half of what you're harping on about? Simple - no matter. Its all about the beans, man - and if espresso is your cup, then this is definitely a coffee for you. Well, for me, anyway - this accidental find - a coffee bar tucked away at the front of the shop that houses it - is absolutely outstanding.  With a bit of a twist, I may add - I go to order a cappuccino and a latte, and I really am fearing the worst as the girl serving tells me 'sorry, is lite milk' ok? I'm literally like, 'Ermmmmmmmm.... go on then.' I really wanted to say no as this is a massive 'no no' for me, but I just didn't have the heart. She was kind enough to offer a further discount of 50 cents on the coffee, which no-one would expect or demand, so hats off for good customer service in a bad situation. I add, she said 'it never happens' and I can believe that. We all have our 'far out' days... Anyway, was it any good? Golly gosh, what a jolly surprise was this one! Beautifully made espresso - strong but not bitter - and beautifully blended milk. I couldn't believe this quality coffee could be delivered from non whole milk. So to imagine a coffee with whole milk from Early-birds is a dream I intend on making a reality at a later date! The cappuccino was nice too, with a nice balance of coffee and chocolate.  The shop has an outdoor seating area, menu's at the front, with a range of biscuits on sale, and there are several size options available. They also have a charity mini sack pack for the homeless ($5 a go) which is a good cause and nice touch. The service is genuinely friendly, also.  One of Clayfield's finest - little known about it, Earlybird's makes a huge impact, any time of the day (that its open!).

The Coffee Mill cafe is located across the road from the Old Windmill, Queensland's oldest and arguably one of our less impressive historical structures.

Great shady spot across the road from the old mill Candy to Brisbane Private Hospital Had a coffee and sandwich (The Think of England) for $12.

The Mill Coffee is a big hit with the medical staff and patients who fill Wickham terrace on weekdays.
