Café on the Goodwill Bridge

Brisbane


While the coffee at this outdoor kiosk – right on car-free Goodwill Bridge – is perfectly drinkable, it's the commanding river-and-skyline view that really makes it worth a stop. It's especially popular with early-morning cyclists and runners, here before the mid-morning heat kicks in.
