Get Brisbane Times for $3 (plus free coffee) at some of the city’s top cafes

Some of the city’s best cafes, bakeries and specialty coffee spots have partnered with Brisbane Times to give more readers access to good news.

This week, from Thursday, October 22 to Sunday, October 25, locals who scan the QR code at more than 17 participating venues and subscribe to Brisbane Times Premium Digital for $3 per month during their first three months will have their morning coffee on the house.

It means Brisbane readers can get a month of local news for less than the average Australian price of a cup of coffee.

Good Food experts handpicked participating cafes from Kedron to Salisbury, including Bellissimo in Fortitude Valley, Morning After in West End, Salt Coffee Roasters in Newstead, Snug in Coorparoo, and Darvella in Bulimba.

The activation marks the growth of Brisbane Times′ local reporting, which now features more Brisbane-centric stories; expanded Good Food restaurant reviews, recommendations and culinary guides; and puzzles such as the BT Quiz.

Restaurant reviews, news and the hottest openings served to your inbox.

“I grew up in Brisbane, and what I love about this city is how fast it’s growing,” Brisbane Times editor Rosanna Ryan said. “Brisbane Times helps you make sense of it, with journalism that looks at the big picture, brings a solutions-focused perspective and covers our city independently.

“From Good Food pointing you to the next great restaurant, to games and puzzles like the BT Quiz that are built for Brisbane locals, everything we do is made for this city.”
