Eddy and Sam outside Rose & Edward Espresso in Windsor.
Rose & Edward Espresso is hidden amidst a string of residential streets in the beautiful leafy suburb of Windsor, an inner northern suburb approximately 3.5km from Brisbane's central business district. Largely residential in nature, Windsor is home to many beautiful old Queenslanders which can be found on many of the streets in this suburb; the streets surrounding this quiet cafe hidden in the backstreets is no exception. Perhaps park a bit further and take a quick pre-or-post meal stroll; you'll be blessed with the views of these magnificent houses, chock full of history and stories of times past. Despite being located so close to the City, there is plenty of unlimited free street parking available near the cafe, even on weekdays during business hours.
Wise words from Rose & Edward Espresso.
Rose & Edward Espresso has plenty of outdoor seating enclosed within an open courtyard, complete with plenty of shade and respite from the heat. The layout of this cafe is unique, in that the counter and food preparation area is located in smack bang in the middle; with seating surrounding the kitchen in all directions, acting as a perimeter. Choose from larger tables to cater for bigger parties, or smaller tables for a more intimate meal, or even opt for the bar style tables and chairs for a more relaxed vibe.
