Simple Bliss Coffee on The Esplanade at Forest Lake is that little caffeine spot overlooking the lake, just the right blend of great coffee and incredible scenery!
Since it opened in 2015, not only has it become popular with locals who drop by after their morning jog or stroll along the walkways, but it is also sought after by travellers passing through Forest Lake.
There are a number of reasons why this coffee shop is well liked.
First, they have gained a following because of their excellent smooth, creamy coffee. Simple Bliss makes no secret that they use quality coffee beans from Black Sheep coffee in Woolloongabba and creamy milk from Maleny Dairies.
Vegetarians can opt for the soy and almond milk by Freedom Foods which is GM free and Australian made. Zymil is used for lactose-intolerant patrons.
Aside from the coffee, they are also well-liked for their rich and creamy mocha made from specialty organic chocolate supplied by Heirloom.
A biocup is used for takeaways, but reusable cups are also on sale.
You can also order delicious slices of assorted cakes, vegan bread or fruit loaf, biscuits, and toasted sandwiches to complete your lakeside brunch. The yummy cakes and pastries are from local suppliers, and also include preservative-free and organic items.
This coffee shop is also admired for being dog-friendly. Having a water bowl in a corner and dog treats on the menu, fur babies are definitely welcome to hang out.
Since this unassuming café is on a balcony, customers get to enjoy a gorgeous view of the lake. The waterscape adds to the cosy and relaxing mood of the place.
Lastly, the friendly staff and their genuine smiles are what customers treasure most. There is a saying that ‘a smile alone doesn’t guarantee excellent customer service, but excellent customer service almost always starts with a smile’. The staffs’ attitude never fails to convey that they are happy to be of service to clients.
Simple Bliss Coffee is open seven days a week, from 6:30 am to 12:30 pm on Mondays till Fridays and from 6:30 am to 12:00 pm on weekends.
