Great outside cafe for our very first breakfast in Cairns! The weather wasn’t great actually, but there’s shade to avoid rains, so we could enjoyed our meal! You need to keep your seat first and order at the counter.
Fantastic local place, upscale platting, and amazing taste! The pancakes stack was so elevated. Great smoothie and coffee. Recommended I want to try the entire menu. Located Next to art gallery. Outdoor covered seating.
Buddha bowl was great!!! Drinks were pretty good. 5 star reviews for the service from Nina. She is a rockstar. Only reason i would go back to this place would be service from Nina and the bowl. Chicken on side was slightly dry.
A go to place for the best Açaí Bowl & Matcha Latte. There's lots more in the menu and reasonably priced. The service is outstanding and so is the ambiance. Located at the Esplanade and next to Cairns Museum. Don't forget to stop by if you're a local doing your morning walks or a tourist searching for the a good cafe with good food.
We came here for breakfast one morning and got a snack and coffee. The food was fresh and hot, and the staff was great. I spilt my coffee and they were super nice about it. They even made me another one! The food tasted great and they open pretty early. Would recommend.
Big shoutout for working on Christmas Day guys! The place was crazy busy but everyone still managed to be so friendly and attentive. We did wait a little longer than usual for our food but they said it in advance and we didn’t wait as long as they said it would be so all good! Vietnamese coffee is very good, as is the fresh juice. We went there again the day after, service was very friendly and our order was very quickly done! They have nice outdoor seating with ceiling fans as well, a good brekky spot even on hot days. Would recommend!
Food was amazing! Staff was so friendly. My group and I went there twice during our trip. Everything was great the first time I went I got the avocado toast with the vietnamese iced coffee. Second time I went I got the beautiful açaí bowl along with toast/eggs and another vietnamese iced coffee! Staff was so friendly would recommend coming here!
Food feels homey with fresh ingredients and simple processing, very reasonable price. Coffee is delicious, carefully made, nicely presented. But what is it that really makes this place special? The people. The team. The sense of connection and hospitality. Special thanks to the owner and the chef, very dedicated, hardworking people. You'll love this place once you come around enough.
We went there early for our breakfast around 7 am as we had to go for excursion. The place was already busy by that time and but we were able to get the table quickly. The staff were friendly but too busy. We were able to get our food quickly after putting the order. We ordered French toast without bacon, smashed avocado and egg Benedict with avocado. And couple of cappuccino. Though they brought the French toast with bacon. Overall the food and presentation was good despite being busy. Coffee was good as well. Surely worth visiting again.
Just stopped for Latte, banana bread and raisin toast. Delicious and tasted as good as it looked. Recommended
