Guidebook for Woolloongabba
Food Scene
My secret spot!! A local coffee roaster! There’s no shortcuts taken here, just time, effort and passion. After one taste, you won’t roam too far from Black Sheep Coffee. TIP: this place serves coffee only, no food menu. It's also dog friendly so there's always a chance to play with someone's dog :)
