Rafter & Rose

Best laneway coffee shop I've been to. Great atmosphere. Witty and insightful quotes , Native Bee hive, Good balance of historical importance and new age skill. Lovely food and even better staff.
I will be back for the cake.

Couldn’t fault the team, the coffee (best affogato we’ve had in a long time 🥳), and the food was beautiful.
The atmosphere was awesome, even while battling the humidity and power issues.

Beautiful atmosphere and even better staff. Felt very looked after and the food was absolutely amazing. Everything goes to together so well. Can not wait to come back

Great atmosphere in this cute cafe. Loved the plants! Food was good and inexpensive, and great coffee.

Must visit this beautiful cafe, a small family business, mother and daughters, so so amazing. Good souls, great coffee, don’t miss it. So much love and kindness here. ❤ so so thankful. May you be blessed by Lord Jesus ❤

Visited rafter and rose this morning and wow!! The staff were so kind and helpful, the service was fast and the food was amazing! And the best coffee I’ve had in a long time! Absolutely recommend

Absolutely delicious! Rafter & Rose have the most lovely and accommodating staff. The food was good, tons of options for varying dietary needs. I will note, it isn't particularly wheelchair accessible. There's outdoor seating that you can access via wheelchair, but to enter the building to order, there are two steps. There's also a few steep steps up to the bathroom.

Absolutely loved this place was so beautiful and friendly staff food was amazing I just had one thing that when I added bacon to my order was only 1 strip was sad I didn’t have more as was so delicious and tasty. Thank you for an amazing meal and morning.

Rafter and Rose is a leafy oasis in the middle of the city. Order inside and either sit in the laneway surrounded by plants or inside in the upcycled furniture surrounded by books and an eclectic display. The food is exceptional with all day breakfast options, burgers and freshly baked treats. Don't miss out on dessert, the house-made cakes and tarts are exceptional!

Food is good with excellent value for money with support from local farmers. Light, relaxing atmosphere, lot of beautiful plants around. One of the best cafes in Ipswich. Great friendly staff and outstanding customer service. Coffee is lovely, as well you can ask for a house-made caramel.

Really beautiful ambience here, the food is well presented and tasty. The coffee with caramel sauce is incredible. The picture of my food is half consumed because it was impossible to resist and I just dug right in. This place obviously has it's regular customers who walk directly to a table and reserve it with their bags. I found that a little off-putting and inconsiderate as they were single customers with a coffee sitting at a table for 4 and we were a couple eating a meal on the sofa. Maybe a few more smaller tables for those dining alone so that those who need the table space can get it. The table full of cheerful ladies laughing their heads off enjoying each other's company without a mobile phone in sight were an absolute delight. Overall a really nice place with lovely tasting food and drinks. Prices are a little steep, but worth it.

Lovely garden atmosphere surrounds you everywhere within this quaint coffee nook. Although on a busy road, the noise doesn't filter in. Dine inside or outside in the alleyway. Access for people with all abilities, however there are a few steps to negotiate to use the toilet. The menu is not extensive which is always a good sign. You don't need much to do it well and indeed they do. We enjoyed eggs on sourdough with mushrooms added. Delightful breakfast washed down with an excellent pour over coffee. Treats on the counter and in the display cabinet if you're after a morning tea break. Lovely staff top off a wonderful break from this crazy world 😉

Visiting Ipswich today and found this delightful cafe. Fantastic atmosphere, lots of plants and greenery. You can tell the food is made with love. Lots of alternative milks, including macadamia. Local firies have just stopped by to get coffee - so you know this place must be good!

It is a peaceful atmosphere and eclectic. Staff are wonderful. Well worth the visit for a coffee if you need to chill out take a few breathes to get yourself back in order.

The place closes a little too early, especially for the popularity of the cafe, but the atmosphere is great. Staff are friendly but it's very busy. The plants are so pretty and make it feel like a mini jungle.

Very nice, interesting place. We especially liked the alley with the plants. Good coffee and snacks. I recommend this place. It's a shame that this cool place is being surrounded by not so nice.

The staff are friendly and welcoming, with treats in the cabinet being a rustic homestyle hit of nostalgia.

The lemon bar is so damn delicious.

The menu is pretty comprehensive with a little bit of everything. Breakfast has the usual suspects alongside some solid takes on brunch items.

Coffee was served up fast, fresh, and tasty.

We split a Cubano- which while not as loaded as we were expecting was a good start to the day.

Will we return in the next couple of mornings we are in town? Quite possibly.

Unique cafe in Ipswich.
Lots of the plants, loved it.
Food was great and unexpected.
Highly recommend this place.

I just love love LOVE this place! Quirky cottage cosy feel, fabulous healthy food and juices, coffee is great too. Never feel like going back to work after lunch here. Best to book a table to avoid disappointment.

Rafter & Rose is my favourite place to get breakfast in all of Australia. I highly recommend the acai flow bowl for breakfast - it's basically ice cream, but super healthy (right?)! Atmosphere is great too, definitely worth the trip to Ipswich.
