What do you think of the Cafes listed in this article?

Hi Qlders (and those who have come to visit)!

This article came out in ourbrisbane.com website (recently perhaps?) with a long list of good coffee in Brisbane and the comments section throws in a few more to the mix.

Anyone care to comment on their recommendations? http://www.ourbrisbane.com/food-and-drink/brisbanes-best-coffees?page=1

Coffee in the CBD
Alen's Espresso
Bar Merlo
Brother Espresso
Naked Coffee

Top coffee shops in the suburbs
Annerley
Dudley Street Espresso on Ipswich Road.

Bowen Hills
Di Bella Coffee at the roasting house in Bowen Hills.

Fortitude Valley
Coaldrake's Espresso Bar within the Emporium complex.

Hendra
Jett Espresso

New Farm
Café Bouquiniste and Urban Grind

South Bank
Espresso Garage

Spring Hill
Cremosa Espresso Bar and Two Cups

Woolloongabba
Brewed Awakening and Brown Dog Café

Wooloowin
Coffee Guy

That's it!

Are there any notable exceptions? Campos, Veneziano... any others?

Pesonally, I would add Veneziano to the list, but then I haven't really been around enough to know how it compares.

I haven't been to all of those, but there are a few on the list that you would have to pay me to go back to! Remember that journo's often have alterior motives. In my opinion 4 of the top 5 are not on that list.

Not a chance on here. Those that know me will know I don't hold my opinions back, but to air them here would strat a riot.

Caffeine espresso does do great coffee, as does veneziano and my favourite local haunt Jett at Hendra. Can confirm Jett roast their own - i smelled a batch roasting last weekend when i walked past.
