Pastel-hued stunner Chapel Park brings colourful brunch to Nundah

By James Frostick 17 Jan 2019

Nundah continues to grow and thrive, moving from suburb on the rise to coveted lifestyle hub in it’s own right. The suburb celebrated the beginning of 2019 with a new arrival when Chapel Park opened in early January. Although only a few weeks in, the coffee, brunch and lunch outpost is reportedly already delivering the goods. Serving up scrumptious plates of health-oriented fare that pop with colour, this breezy charmer looks like the perfect addition for a suburb that seemingly has it all. more

Popular patisserie Flour and Chocolate opens up new digs in Northgate

18 Jan 2019

It’s not unusual to see a line of hungry patrons weaving out the door to Flour and Chocolate's Morningside patisserie. There’s a valid reason why people choose to line up regardless of weather – the treats in the cabinets and on the shelves are just too damn delicious. Owners Kylie and Lachlan Scott have noticed the lines (and how far many of you travel for a taste of their products) and decided it was high time to expand. Flour and Chocolate has opened a larger patisserie in Northgate, boasting a bigger kitchen to cater for demand of its decadent doughnuts, oven-fresh bagels, tantalising tarts and salivation-worthy savoury quiches. more

Settle in for a journey of soulful hits with the Songs and Times of Sam Cooke

17 Jan 2019

The world of music owes a heck of a lot to Sam Cooke. Dubbed the Godfather of Soul, his infectious melodies, genre-mixing sound and heavenly vocals combined to propel him to a status that few reach in a lifetime. Not only did he happen to be an amazing artist, but he was also the voice of a revolutionary movement. He broke down religious and racial barriers with his gift, all while smashing out hit after hit. If you mourn the fact that you never got to see him live, we’ve found the next best thing – coming to Brisbane Powerhouse from January 31 to February 2, Songs and Times of Sam Cooke showcases the life of a legend through music. more
