A New Riverside Addition in Yeronga

A restored double-decker London bus has been converted into a café now operating at 237 Brisbane Corso in Yeronga. The new venue extends Baladi’s presence in the area, following four years of building a regular customer base through its original trailer business.

From London Streets to Brisbane Corso

The bus retains much of its original structure, with refurbished seating now arranged as booth-style spaces. Customers can choose to sit inside on the lower level or head to the top deck for elevated views of the riverside stretch.
The café serves coffee, wraps and pastries, trading Tuesday to Sunday from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m.

The Baladi Journey

Baladi began in July 2019, created by operators Farah and Anton. Farah, who moved to Australia in 2015 for PhD studies, discovered a strong interest in cooking and hosting during her time at university. Anton, originally from Slovakia, worked in London’s events industry before returning to Australia in 2011. Their shared interest in coffee and food contributed to the development of their growing business.

Yeronga Community Reaction

The Yeronga community has shown considerable interest in the new café, reflected in high engagement online. Many comments highlight support for the concept, enthusiasm for the bus fit-out and appreciation for the location along the Brisbane Corso.
