About Marhaba Cafe

We serve cafe favourites alongside a mix of world cuisine breakfast & lunch dishes. Treat yourself to homemade sweets including Baklava, Banana Bread & Biscuits paired perfectly with Providore & Co’s Illusion Blend in your favourite espresso style.

Order at the counter and we’ll prepare you mouth-watering meals like Syrian Chicken & Rice (pictured) or Lamb Kofta & Fattoush Salad with Pomegranate Dressing. Looking for cheap and cheerful? Try our sandwiches made fresh or toasted, with lots of options to choose from. The BLT on Turkish is a crowd favourite but feel free to get creative with our selection of fresh salads, slow-cooked corned beef, poached chicken, shaved ham and condiments to compliment your choices. We serve breakfast all day so have eggs, your way, with your choice of sides; bacon, avocado, haloumi & mushrooms priced so you can have them all!

Fabulous Food first

We know that to keep you coming back for more, the quality of our food must be outstanding – and it is! As we don’t receive any permanent funding, we rely upon our great food and quality service to survive and thrive. Our tasty food is all made from scratch on the premises. Our diverse team bring an enthusiasm to work that is unrivalled and you’ll notice they have influenced the dishes on our menu. Try our Shakshuka, Sausage Rolls or Spinach Fataya, homemade and wholesome food that you’ll come back for time and time again.

Specialty coffee, especially for you

Whether you’re a short macchiato, iced coffee, or cappuccino kind of person, you can expect nutty caramel notes from our espresso. It’s incredibly smooth and easy to drink. We searched high and low for Brisbane’s most approachable locally roasted coffee, and we’re convinced we’ve found it.

We love experimenting with different ways to prepare your daily caffeine fix. Not only do we serve superbly extracted espresso, but our Chef Khulood is also known for brewing traditional Arabic coffee with a hint of cardamom.

From cold brew, iced lattes, and espresso milkshakes to matcha and loose-leaf tea served in a pot, whatever caffeine adventure you choose, we’ll expertly bring out the very best flavours to brighten your day. Yum!

Relax at Marhaba

Whether you’re on your own or catching up with friends, Marhaba has a comfortable seat waiting for you in our air-conditioned basement, away from the hustle and bustle of the city streets. Relax on a cosy couch or armchair, pull up a seat at the bar, or gather around a table for two, twenty-four, or more.

Walk-ins are always welcome, but bookings are encouraged for groups of six or more. To book, call or text us on 0421 169 139.

People often comment on our eclectic furniture and retro style. The truth is that much of it has been donated or reclaimed. Our timber tables were handcrafted locally from former telegraph poles sourced from the Gold Coast Turf Club, thanks to a grant from the Office of Social Impact.

Our central location makes Marhaba the perfect place to meet colleagues, catch up with friends, or stay productive between meetings using our free Wi-Fi.

But best of all we do Great Coffee, Great Food with Greater Purpose.
