In
the open-sided understorey of a shambling old Queenslander, casual Burrow is like a Baja
California cantina crossed with a student share-house: laid-back and beachy with surf
murals and wafting Pink Floyd. Try the hangover-removing El Desperados taco for break-
fast - pulled pork, eggs and jalapeño salsa. There's good coffee, too.
Blackstar Coffee Roasters
(44 Thomas St; mains $6-12; 7am-3pm Mon, to 5pm Tue-Fri, to late Sat, 8am-3pm Sun)
A neighbourhood
fave, West End's own bean roaster has excellent coffee, a simple breakfast menu (wraps,
avocado on toast, eggs Benedict), wailing Roy Orbison and live jazz on Saturday evening.
Try one of their cold-pressed coffees on a hot day.

Brisbane's dreadlocked collect-
ive trundles into this laid-back, no-fuss diner for curries, vegie burgers, 'no-bull' (meat-

on a little suburban foodie strip (with Vietnamese, Indonesian, Italian and
Tibetan stablemates), this charming, lived-in cafe also has occasional live music and lots
of vegetarian and vegan options. Order a pumpkin, macadamia, olive and fetta pizza to
chew while you're reading one of the topics from the bookshelf (all for sale - only $2).
