Our Story
Brisbane's best-kept secret since 2011
The Lantern started as a tiny espresso window on Given Terrace. Thirteen years later we're still in the same spot — just a little bigger, with a full kitchen, a courtyard, and a team of people who genuinely love what they do every morning.
Everything on our menu is made in-house or sourced from local producers. We roast our own beans, bake our own cakes, and change the menu with the seasons.
