The Cafe Kalina

One of Springfield’s newest cafes is luring crowds with its cooked-from-scratch offerings. The Cafe Kalina overlooks an adventure playground, in the newly emerging Kalina Springfield estate, making this spot a popular one for those with littlies. Owner Che Fell is no stranger to the cafe scene and has happily poured his heart and know-how into his latest venture. The cafe was luring visitors from Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Ipswich within weeks of opening. Part of Cafe Kalina’s allure is the hearty breakfast menu – including an eggs benny with lemon-y Hollandaise, pesto and spicy chorizo. Fell caters for all kinds of diets with a range of sweet and savoury offerings he makes himself for the cabinet. Seating extends over a large undercover deck, and the cafe has hosted baby showers, corporate morning tea functions and high teas. This is also a dog-friendly cafe, with puppy-cinos and special beetroot, turmeric and peanut butter doggie treats available. They’re using Brisbane-roasted Veneziano coffee and the Nutella Latte is highly recommended if you need a little lift – or a cool Instagram shot!
