About Us

The Cafe
The cafe building is unique and consists of two buildings set on open decks overlooking a rainforest garden. The main building started out as a Methodist church, then became a Uniting Church. The renovated structure features stained glass windows salvaged from another church and original timber floors.
The building in the middle of the Cafe is called “The Nun”. It was originally commissioned by the Brisbane City Council as a movable shelter for funerals at Mt Gravatt Cemetery.
Menus
The Flying Nun Cafe serves a modern Australian menu which uses seasonal ingredients and changes every Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring.
The Cafe has a wonderful display of scrumptious cakes and desserts freshly made on the premises as well as a huge selection of hot and cold drinks.
From 10am, choose from our specially selected wine and craft beer menu.

His remarkable work is all created by hand and without the use of an easel. You can purchase his artwork from The Flying Nun Café or by contacting the artist directly on 0451 075 616.
