Brisbane’s biggest night in the sky is back — and at Outside The Box, we’re making sure the food is just as exciting as the fireworks.
This Riverfire Saturday, our New Farm café will be serving up a special selection of 100% gluten-free hot food, sushi, sweets, drinks and grab-and-go favourites, designed for one very important purpose: making your Riverfire day easier, tastier and considerably more fun.
Whether you’re heading into the city, setting up by the river, meeting friends before the show or simply avoiding the crowds for a little longer, consider OTB your pre-Riverfire pit stop.
Hot, Fresh & Very Gluten-Free
There is something particularly satisfying about a hot pie before a big Brisbane night out.
For Riverfire, we’ll have a selection of comforting gluten-free favourites ready to go, including hot pies, sausage rolls and other savoury treats.
Warm, easy to carry and made for eating on the move, they’re perfect for anyone looking for something substantial before heading towards the river.
And yes — as always at Outside The Box, our café offering is 100% gluten-free.
No sad backup snacks required.
And Yes… There Will Be Sushi
We know.
Gluten-free sushi.
It deserves its own section.
Our Riverfire selection will include fresh gluten-free sushi ready to grab and take with you, making it an easy option for lunch, an afternoon snack or your pre-fireworks dinner.
Fresh, simple, convenient and just a little bit exciting — particularly if you’ve spent far too long checking ingredient labels every time someone suggests sushi.
This Saturday, we’re making things easier.
Something Sweet for the Walk Down
It wouldn’t be Outside The Box without a cabinet full of treats.
Alongside our savoury range, you’ll find a selection of gluten-free cakes, slices, baked goodies and sweets to take away or enjoy before heading out.
Because if there is ever a day that calls for dessert before dinner, it is probably Riverfire.
Slushies, Coffee, Matcha & Everything in Between
Brisbane spring weather can still bring the heat, so we’ll also have plenty of drinks flowing throughout the day.
Expect icy slushies, cold drinks, specialty coffee, matcha and café favourites for both the caffeine crowd and anyone looking for something cold before braving the Riverfire crowds.
Grab a drink, wander through the gift shop, choose your snacks and then head into the city properly prepared.
Your Riverfire Grab-and-Go Stop in New Farm
One of the best things about being in New Farm is that we’re close enough to the action without being right in the middle of it.
That makes Outside The Box an easy stop before heading towards the Brisbane River, Story Bridge and surrounding Riverfire viewing areas.
Come in, escape the crowds for a moment and stock up on food you actually want to eat.
No complicated plans.
No searching around for a last-minute gluten-free option.
Just good food, good coffee and a slightly quirky little corner of New Farm before one of Brisbane’s biggest nights of the year.
A Little More Than a Café
If you haven’t visited us before, Outside The Box is exactly what the name suggests.
Part 100% gluten-free café, part gift shop, part creative space and part neighbourhood curiosity cabinet, OTB brings together food, art, gifts and a little bit of chaos in one colourful New Farm space.
So while you’re collecting your Riverfire snacks, have a wander.
You may leave with sushi.
You may leave with a sausage roll.
You may also somehow leave with a strange lamp, a gift for your dog and something you absolutely did not plan on buying.
That is fairly normal here.
