Second-Hand Shopping, Breakfast and Books in West End
Hop from SWOP to the Gunshop to the shelves at Avid Reader.
Overview
You can never be bored on Boundary Street. That's just a fact of Brisbane-based life. Pick any three spots, make an agenda and you've got a fun morning out — including browsing for secondhand clothes, settling in for breakfast at an iconic eatery and boosting your reading list. SWOP Clothing Exchange has the first part taken care of, but if you're heading by on a day other than Friday, don't forget to make an appointment. Then grab brekkie at the Gunshop Cafe, aka West End's favourite spot, before spending a healthy amount of time rifling through the shelves — and asking the staff for recommendations — at Avid Reader.
