Savour Cafe - New Farm Cafe
Since its inception, Savour Café in Brisbane has become a cornerstone of the local café scene, thanks to the vision and dedication of its owners. Previously known as Vue Lounge, the café has been a popular spot for coffee, brunch, and casual drinks. After taking over the original Vue in 2005, the owners decided it was time for a refresh, leading to a rebranding and renovation that has given birth to Savour Café. Savour Café retains the same welcoming community spirit that regulars have always loved, but with some exciting new additions. The space has undergone a transformation, now featuring a light and airy Scandinavian-inspired design with natural timbers, white furnishings, and plenty of greenery.
