Brunch and Bookstore Browsing in Bulimba

Overview

Weekends and curling up with a good book go hand-in-hand — but what if you've already worked your way through your reading pile? Dropping by Bulimba's Riverbend Books should solve that problem, as well as another Sunday morning struggle: where to go for brunch.

As classic a Queensland setting as you can imagine with its big deck and leafy trees, Riverbend Cafe is a popular mid-morning spot for plenty of reasons. Try the croque madame if you're feeling extra indulgent; the breakfast menu is served until 11.30am. Cakes and pastries are also on offer, as well as Merlo coffee and T2 teas.

Then, once you're done eating, head into the bookstore and browse away. If you're after recommendations, the staff will be quick to help — whether you want something you know you'll love, or are happy to jump outside of your reading comfort zone.
