It is relaxed, comfy and airy here, and made me feel like I was visiting a good friend's place. There is a wide range of dishes and great vegetarian options. I had the Budda bowl and it was plentiful, fresh and delicious. I also had a very tasty berry smoothie. It was a pleasure to be able to catch up with my friend in a peaceful venue where we didn't have the challenge of talking with the intrusion of loud music. The service was genuinely friendly and helpful. I look forward to returning.

First time dining at Kettle & Tin and we thought it was a great experience.
On arrival, a very friendly staff member greeted us and advised us to take a seat at a table outside. Once seated, we placed our orders for coffee, one iced latte on soy and one large skinny cap. We both loved and appreciated the perfectly frothed milk, so creamy and light. The soy iced latte was refreshing.
Food wise, it took us a little while to decide as there were quite a few items on their menu we wanted to try. We ended up with their poached eggs on toast with mushrooms on the side and Chicken ‘n’ Waffles. Starting

Drinks came out first & although we appreciated the use of paper straws, it felt like we were shortchanged for the iced latte - the smoothie was filled to the brim but the iced latte looked like someone had taken a huge gulp out of it already. Smoothie was ok but wasn't cold.
Chicken & waffles dish was disappointing as the waffle was not heated & tasted quite bland - like it was prepackaged, opened & whacked on the plate.
With the Three Little Baos, the dish is vegetarian but you can also choose to have a meat option (chicken/pork belly). We went for the chicken & it was yummy but the dish is

The place was busy and the staff were so friendly. Very accommodating with changing haloumi for marinated tofu.
However, was a little expensive for what we ordered. $16 for a small toastie was a bit much.
Also ordered the pakora bowl which although tasty, wasn't what we were expecting. Would have been nice to have had some more colour and wasn't very filling.

First yelp review! Okay so overall great experience at Kettle & Tin. Went there seeking a nice brunch experience during my time in Brisbane. The food and drinks did not disappoint. Everyone in my party of 7 enjoyed their meals and the mimosas were a crowd favorite! The only negative would be the service being on the slower side which could just be since I'm used to NY efficiency, so I recommend ordering a drink before you finish your first. I would definitely come again when I'm not in a rush!

Nice place for breakfast, interesting selection. Great service and coffee. The only things is that they didn't mention that toast with sausage will have just one peace of bread which I found a bit ridiculous especially for the price. Overall 3/4 of us were very happy and full after breakfast, one left with a bit more space inside his belly.

I had really high hopes for brunch at K&T but left feeling a touch disappointed (as did the wallet...)
Firstly, and most brutally, if a classic Bloody Mary is on the menu, PLEASE make sure it's CLASSIC. Port wine?
The Vietnamese omelette was odd for breaky, but tasty thanks to the dressing, sadly the pork was hard as rocks.
The omelette was a bit so-so. The mushrooms had made the eggs a weird grey colour, and was a tad over cooked.
The total bill was a bit of a sucker punch after the food... I'm sorry to say, but I probably won't head back - especially when the brunch

This used to be a favourite lunch spot but it must have changed ownership or something. The wagyu burger was the driest most overcooked piece of grey mince I have seen in many years. They didn't ask how I wanted it cooked so I expected the usual juicy meat burger, pink and moist and instead, this little lump of concrete. No one asks how your meal is as was the case in the past. The pulled pork bun was also different - meat was good but the coleslaw was just painted on.
Sadly after that experience I will not be frequenting this place anymore and can't recommend it.

Pretty stock standard fare, nothing seemed to jump out off the menu demanding to be ordered. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed and the coffee was good. But service was not great and they were not accommodating to making any changes on the menu and not many gluten free options apart from the pay extra to make ur toast gf ho hum. I wouldn't go back.

A rainy Thursday in Brisbane and I had an hour or so to wait around for my sister to finish an appointment. Finally I thought, finally I am in the right area to try something in Paddington. Pulled up at the first park I found and whipped out the Yelp app and this lil' guy was in my bookmarks ready to go and I'd only gone and parked directly opposite it.
It was mid-afternoon so I wasn't in the mood for lunch or anything too heavy, just coffee and maybe a cake. Coffee was a flat white on almond milk and was excellent. In terms of cake there wasn't a sweet cabinet but there was

Our breakfast was good. We had the eggs benedict, which looked tiny on the plates but OHMYGOD so fulfilling. The English muffins were yum and the eggs were poached perfectly. I had mine with their house-cured gravlax, which I loved. My boyfriend, the pickier one of us, had his with bacon, which he also liked. His complaint? Using watercress in their dish, and apparently the sauce wasn't tasty enough. (I agree about the watercress, I probably would have liked spinach better, but I loved the sauce!) He had his usual ice mocha, which was too sweet for me. I had an ice coffee, which was not sweet

I agree with all the other Yelpers. I've been plenty of times and never knocked off my feet. Just pleasantly surprised at the great food and efficient service.
Try the Banh Xeo for breakfast. Asian breakfasts are underrated. Crispy eggy crepes with prawn, pork, plenty of Thai/Vietnamese herbs and lots of fish sauce.
Peanut butter and chocolate milkshake sounded lush. But was a little disappointing.

I've only been twice so far to Kettle and Tin: both times for Brunch, thus that is what this review will concern.
I'm only new to exploring the Paddington/Latrobe Tce area, so I'm still excited by the atmosphere of the area. Kettle and Tin is helping shape and define the vibe I now expect. The area is quite large on the inside and if you can, get a seat at the back to have a great view out over Paddington.
Now to the important part: food and service. The food is good. Not great, but good. The eggs benedict is quite good. They haven't drowned it completely in hollandaise

Kettle and Tin is a favourite of mine for a quiet afternoon beverage. The food I've tried has been outstanding (the pork belly fries are literally fried pieces of pork belly!) and I'm working my way through the bloody mary menu.
The huge speakers for the band are a little overkill though? We had to move outside just to hear each other speak.

I really loved this place - the light breezy atmosphere, the ongoing artwork on the walls, the cute little bar (gosh how I can imagine smashing G&Ts on the deck here), the menu with a nice leaning towards porky goodness... mmm pork.
Alas, I was here for breakfast so had the Avo on toast (it's my benchmark dish) and have to say it was a pretty good rendition with some marinated goats cheese and a big wedge of lemon on the side. Avo + Lemon = BFF
Next time I'll be here for the famed sandwiches (apparently the Chef is some whizz-bang sandwich making champion). The cider pulled pork

I'm really torn over Kettle and Tin. I want to love it; great background music, wonderful taste in art on the walls, enthusiastic and lovely staff.
But the peanut butter milkshake tasted like a spoonful from a jar stirred into milk, and the BLAT was a very average sandwich for the price.
The only culinary exception I've found after my three visits is the Eggs Benedict. Perhaps the best in Brisbane? I'm sure I'll end up here for a lunch in the future and the benny is what I'll be having. It's good enough for ALL times of day.
