Amazing Service, value for money and fresh tasty products!! Big welcoming smiles and a large display cabinet filled with amazing food, and pricing that can have you visiting every day without breaking the bank. Attentive staff, product knowledge and coffee that smelt amazing, I will have to try on my next visit. Well done! Keep up the good work.

I'm always greeted with a warm smile and fresh leafy greens, and on this last visit, Hayley topped me up with my usual Cesar salad. Thanks again! In addition to their quick, healthy options, I love the mellow~yellow vibe they bring to the busy CBD. Can't wait 'till next time! :)

Serves up a delicious salad bar and a la carte menu, cooked fresh. On this occasion I felt my calamari dish was slightly undercooked but otherwise quite tasty!

Was passing by and wanted to pick up a coffee at a new venue. Sparrow and Finch looked open, clean, and accommodating! I think they only sell coffees in take away cups, even if you are dining in. I ordered an 8 ounce Cap with an extra shot. It was brought out quickly and the coffee was very nice. Thank you to the staff for the nice coffee and relaxed setting in the middle of the CBD in Brisbane.

Choose to stop here for lunch and ordered their Wagyu Cheeseburger. It came out very quickly and I enjoyed. The tomato type sauce was a bit of a surprise and the atoli really added a tangy horseradish like taste, maybe between horseradish and garlic. I'd have to say that's what I enjoyed the most. Enjoyed the outdoor seating.
