Wife and I ordered a breakfast toastie and a pulled pork toastie We both had a great meal, taste and presentation were great and after our food we felt the price was very good for what we got. Would definitely eat here again

Fantastic little coffee shop with a heart for community outreach. The triple shot cappuccino that I had was superb!! Very few customers in store so the service was prompt and polite. I especially love the decor and vibe of the Cafe space. Right in the heart of Ipswich, in the middle of the Nicholas St precinct, with a takeaway 'breakfast' servery, Oikos ticks all the right boxes for me - certainly as a coffee shop - but as a community 'hub' also. Will be back

When you’re looking for a needle in the haystack, stop looking. The service, food and coffee here was amazing and worthy of a review. My photos were rushed because my phone was low on battery and I will come again to take better photos. We had nachos and the full sandwich and were very, very impressed. Then I overheard the owner chatting about their social enterprise, helping kids on track to life and various other incredible modern day heroisms, I’m absolutely making this a regular stop when we come into Ipswich in the future. Thank you

The complete package, from freandly staff, great coffee and outstanding food Oikos has it all. Great sitting atmosphere inside or outside depending on what you prefer. The menu caters to all dietary needs and requirements. Great music that is not too loud. Great for a day time coffee by yourself to unwind or lunch with freinds.

Cozy little cafe located on Nickolas street which serves a delicious fruity flat white and well made fresh tasting toasties. We ordered the pulled pork and pizza of which both had a nice homemade sauce and little surprises within that made them lovely . Really likes the goat cheese in the pulled pork sandwich . We parked at Nicholas St precinct car park which offers 3 hours free on weekdays and whole day on weekends which is a better option than the metered 1P street parking . Would recommend and come again !

Their single-shot espresso was rich, fragrant, and on the fruitier side. And the service was top notch. Another customer complimented the coffee (better than anything he's had in Senegal) Will come back for another cuppa
