Very impressive. My soy latte was deliciously smooth and creamy, not a hint of bitterness at all. These guys are coffee pros! My only (very small) complaint it that the coffee was a few degrees too cool - it was a cold day and by the time I was two blocks away my coffee had chilled a bit. But still fantastic and I will definitely be going back. Well worth a visit.

Single origins, gb5 and aero press. A great start. Beautiful long blacks, floral, berries, a blessing to drink.

Definitely some of the better espresso in Brisbane.

You can always get a decent coffee from Frisky, the consistency is the best thing here in my opinion. I’ve been here quite a few times and I’ve never been disappointed.

Coffee and atmosphere are fantastic. The quality of the coffee is very consistent and it’s pretty rare that you’ll get a less than awesome coffee. I’m seriously considering making this my primary coffee joint at work.

I usually order a latte and it’s always smooth, creamy and delicious. They generally have a couple of single origins but I tend to prefer the house blend.

Originally I gave this place 4 stars, but I’ve been back a bunch of times and decided to upgrade their rating to 4.5.

Also, be sure to read the story about how the name ‘Frisky Goat Espresso’ came about.

Dead-set brilliant coffee. I’m usually a mocha or a skinny cap with two sugars kind of guy, and I didn’t reach for the sugar with this coffee. The coffee was so smooth and luxurious that I didn’t need it. Sad to say though, the takeaway coffees are substantially less awesome than the dine-ins - the cups seem pretty cheap and the lids almost leak the plastic taste. With some better quality takeaway cups and lids, this place could be phenomenal.

UPDATE: They fixed it! New cups, new lids, and new on the menu: the most delicious latté you’ve ever tasted. So tempted to 5-star this place…

    Pretty damn terrible. Only one size of takeaway and man, was it awful. Bitter and burnt, I only took a few sips and then binned it. There’s a reason it was almost empty at the height of morning peak.

    I heard the hot chocolates here are great but I needed caffeine so I tried a mocha and was not disappointed. I’ll update this review once I’ve been back for a coffee.

    These guys are brand new, having only moved in a couple of weeks ago. Their prices are better than most cafés in the city with $3 for a small. They also include a mini-treat with each coffee, so far I’ve had a mini-oreo and a mini-brownie, both were del…
