The lounge is definitely not bad. Got great breakfast bowl as plate of the day, some more buffet breakfast, and relatively good espresso (done by barista). Nice!
A bit OT, but QF, together with NZ, lounges are the only ones that have coffee worth drinking from my experience of around ~250 lounges worldwide. Emirates First Class lounge takes remote third spot. In fact, those lounges will give many downtown coffeeshops a run for their money (not mentioning NZ's experience of having your coffee ordered via app and have it ready by the time you enter the lounge).
