About EQ Cafe & Bakehouse
EQ Cafe & Bakehouse is a cafe-style bakery in Brindabella, ACT, with the feel of a relaxed neighbourhood spot rather than a grab-and-go counter. Their own line is "fresh treats, gourmet coffee, and a cozy atmosphere", and there's generous seating, including outdoor tables, plus a leafy garden setting that one local singled out as a real drawcard. It suits families too, so bringing the kids along isn't a problem.
On the food side, you'll find brunch plates, fresh pastries and signature cakes, with custom cake orders and catering available if you're planning something bigger. Coffee and chips and fish come up often, with one person calling the chips and fish very enjoyable. Dine-in, takeaway, kerbside pickup and delivery are all on offer.
The helpful staff are what we hear about most. One regular who works nearby drops in almost daily and says the coffee comes out the same way however busy it is and whoever is making it.
Some locals have found the food average or the service patchy at busy times, so ordering something simple on a first visit may be wise. It's open weekdays and closed on weekends, so check the hours before you head in.
