Ellen and Rod Cafe

The food was delicious, the coffee was great, the service was super friendly!
We had the eggs Benedict traditional, and avacado on toast with two extra poached eggs. They were delicious!

I marked the atmosphere at 4/5 because of the very minor roadside noise. Still, I recommend this cafe.

We will definitely return! Thank you!

Really appreciated the owner's warm hospitality and the delicious Brinjal pickle offered for tasting. The coffee and brownie were delightful as well. Thank you!

Super delicious breakfast with great coffee. I love egg Benedict here, one of the best ones I've ever had. Specially knowing that they take time to make sauce fresh and not using pre made ones. Staff are very friendly and atmosphere is great. Its definitely not a drive through though 😂

Saw this place packed on a Sunday came on a Monday and found out why they are worth every dollar. Good service good food good people

Small, personal, and mighty. Love it.
Food was delicious, great menu selection on offer, coffee brilliant. Staff lovely and also efficient. Blankies when it’s cold out, photos of dogs on the wall and all the kids books are about dogs! ❤

We dined with breakfast for 2pp. Ordered mushrooms with halloumi on pumpkin sourdough ($20), toast with peanut butter and Vegemite (separate!! $9. $8 for two pieces of toast, but an extra $1 if you want different spreads in each piece. Why? 🤷‍♀)
Mushrooms on toast was fantastic. Portions and cooking were perfect. Spinach wasn’t mentioned on the menu, and I thought it would be a great side … and then it was there with the dish all along!!
Occasional noisy driver or siren, but otherwise this was great for conversation with someone I hadn’t seen in ages.

Coffee on point. Just would have liked it a bit hotter.
And our breakfast choices were outstanding. Highly recommend the Avocado, Halloumi and poached eggs. Eggs were perfect!!

This is a really great place to feel comfortable taking your dog while enjoying some great food and coffee. The staff are really friendly and the food is delicious. Parking is a little difficult but I'm happy to pay $2 for an affordable and friendly place to spend a couple of hours.

Persistent in quality and dependability.
It's small inside with mostly exterior seating.
The coffee is consistently well executed cleverly extracted from the 'Five Senses' brand of choice. Milk beautifully textured. On point.
On the rare occasion I dine in, the food is lovingly delivered to my table from the chef. Today Eggs Benny Royale with a perfectly gooey poached egg that looks so sexy I have to stop to photograph it. The yellow pumpkin sourdough is a devinely coloured flavorful base to the plated stack.
Cabinet choices are daily fresh, both sweet and savoury takeaway options with premium beverages (Emma & Toms juices etc) for flavour on the fly. Meat head & Veggo options too.
There are no stairs so if you're on wheels access is pretty good with a low side window for direct ordering from the footpath.
If you're lucky enough to live within walking distance it's hound friendly and accessible offering cold water and seating for pooches and their people.

I'm loving these small suburban casual brunch venues that provide old fashioned service, smiles and a joke. Go on ..., ask for the waffles.
I loved the beer bread fresh out of the oven.

Had an amazing breakfast with friends here this morning. Four breakfasts ordered and all were perfect!! Spot on!!! And when WE had a mishap with an order of coffee, the friendly and very sweet staff fixed it in no time. So happy. Our friends are on holidays and we wanted to treat them to a delicious breakfast and these guys did not disappoint.
Thank you so much ☺

Great service, great food, very friendly staff and the chef is always cool and happy! We've been there twice now and the breakfast burger is amazing! We will definitely be back

Great food and a perfect double shot flat white served quickly and with a smile, within walking/wheeling distance of the hospital (the area is hilly but you can avoid the big ones). I started with the vege burger but I think I'm gonna work my way through the menu in the coming months. Thanks team!

A beautiful cafe everyone should visit. The staff were absolutely amazing, warm and welcoming. Food was excellent and beautifully plated. They are dog friendly too which was a bonus

Absolutely lovely place, the staff really friendly and great coffee.
We had the savoury mince, poached egg & toast with a side of potato bake and it was Absolutely amazing!!
Would love to go back and try something else.

Been there twice now just to make sure.
Food is very good.
Fresh hot and plentiful just what the doctor ordered as you can see in the pic
Small touches are what make it special though.
Blankets on chairs, very friendly staff and puppy friendly all big ticks in my books

Had Mother's Day breakfast there, you can feel the Love and care in the great Food they make, great coffee and a hidden gem in Ipswich. Thanks again.

Excellent in quality, value and service!

What a great find, in a cafe. We just loved our breakfast; shared the big breakfast along with an amazing Chai brewed tea and green smoothie. Very flavorsome. Customer services was friendly & helpful. Great cafe, will be returning customers. Thanks

Best coffee shop in Ipswich. Never once have I had a bad coffee, even when they are flat out! Service is above and always feel welcome and remembered.
Food is quick and very tasty!
Always my go to!!
Must come and try, you won't be disappointed!
