Originally a post office and corner store and now, a vintage-styled cafe with funk and vibe, located in one of Brisbane's most gorgeous bayside suburbs, Brighton
(which borders Sandgate and Shorncliffe).
Always liking anything vintage and having a long term desire to one day open a cafe with this type of 'theme', Geri the owner has now created her dream. Moving on and away from a career as a 'visual film' producer, she now has this claim to her own little plot to play with as she pleases.

[ADVERT]Only just opening the doors a few months ago, there is still a lot to do and plan for. You can currently enjoy a selection of teas and or great coffee along with delicious cakes and muffins. Freshly made sandwiches are also available. Further down the track after more approvals from council a greater selection of foods are planned for the menu.
Styled with 'Vintage' in every way you get to enjoy your tea in individual china cups, while served in a variety of pots. Eclec Tea has a great space and has a wonderful display of vintage clothes, stools, tables, other furniture bits, nick naks and all sorts of stuff.
