The Outlook Deli Cafe has been running as a coffee shop/cafe/deli for the last 14 years. Today it offers a friendly and easy going atmosphere and the locals consider the cafe to be one of the hubs of the Bardon community.

In the past, the outlook cafe has been the site of various food outlets over the last 48 - 50 years.  Long term residents of the area know that it has beena buthcer, a fish & chip shop and corner store.  They may also recall an unfortunate owner who was at the bowls club pub when the shop caught fire!

The cafe has been mentioned in the book "Coffee 33" written by Robert Chapman and Ross Allen. The book is more than a poetry book about coffee, it is dedicated to the people of Brisbane to encourage them to discover and explore some of the beautiful locations in Brisbane with the Outlook Deli Cafe featured in the book.
