It's a window,
not a café.

No seating, no fuss. You walk up, we make your coffee, and you get on with your morning. Capital T is a hole in the wall in one of Brisbane's best pockets — properly good espresso at a price that still makes sense on a Tuesday.

Tim's usually the one on the machine.

Dogs welcome. There's a free treat on the counter, and a puppycino with any coffee.

Specials, new bakes and the odd sold-out warning all land on Instagram first. It's the best way to know what's on the counter today.
