After losing nearly everything after the flooding in Brisbane in 2022, Peach Cafe in Auchenflower has undergone and completed an overhaul that has made the charming neighbourhood favourite bigger and better than before.
The Instagrammable cafe, serving the most beautifully plated dishes and pastries, has more seats in its weather-proof and covered back area, where at least 60 to 80 guests can enjoy their brunch. The Scandinavian-inspired seats provide such a clean and cosy look, matched with picnic tables with cute peach-coloured umbrellas for more communal dining outdoors.
Peach Cafe owner Nick Riccardo said that the overhaul was in the plan, prior to the destructive flood, to align the site’s aesthetics with its attractive and appealing food.
However, Scarlett Spurr, who heads the kitchen, had to overhaul the menu as well to keep with the trends and also create a balance between flavour and comfort that sticks with their customer’s diet preferences. However, favourites like avocado on sourdough or eggs on toast remain on the menu.
Along with the changes, Peach Cafe also introduced a QR code ordering system that streamlines the menu with actual photos to make ordering a lot more convenient for their customers.
Peach Cafe is open for breakfast and lunch from Monday to Sunday. Follow their Instagram page for more updates.
“Fantastic cafe which was busy but still provided fast friendly service and excellent food. Great presentation. And I don’t mind busy as it means the food is fresh. I can’t wait to go back!”

“My daughter just had her 15th birthday brunch at Peach Café. I have nothing but good things to say about the food, the atmosphere, the service which was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. I would like to thank everyone but especially Emily for personally attending to us. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re all fantastic.”
