11 Of The Most Beautiful Sunshine Coast Cafes You Need To Visit
Does anyone else view their dining experiences through the lens of a camera? You know what we’re talking about; choosing where to sit based on favourable lighting or pretty backdrops to complement a cheeky selfie, ordering the most attractive dish on the menu and taking a million photos of your coffee before it turns cold.
To save you trawling through Instagram to find your next good-looking pit stop for breakfast or lunch, we’ve pulled together the most beautiful cafes on the Sunshine Coast for your dining pleasure.
VanillaFood, Noosaville and Noosa Heads
Insta husbands beware, VanillaFood is the ultimate eye candy. Not only are the breakfast and lunch offerings simply stunning, guaranteed to attract plentiful likes and comments on the socials, they also have two luscious locations with endless photo opportunities at Belmondos in Noosaville, and the latest addition to the VF family in Noosa Heads.
White Picket Fence, Caloundra
Blush walls, archways and indoor plants, White Picket Fence is a dream come true. Flatlay your day away with their epic basics board or capture your outfit of the day with a casual pose at the table. They’re also welcoming of fur babies, so that’s a massive plus.
MV Catalina Noosa, Noosa
If laidback luxury floats your boat, then hop aboard the MV Catalina Noosa. The Hamptons-styled Catalina has been restored to perfection and is the ideal place to enjoy lunch on the water, the only hassle will be deciding which photo to post first—the nonchalant selfie with a Pinot in hand or the stunning vista of Noosa River.
Monica’s Cafe, Maleny
Indoor plants cascading down the wall, a loft complete with leather lounges and pouffes, and the most spectacular wall adorned with picture frames and old worldly treasures—Monica’s Café is the kind of place you want to secretly move into.
Collective Haus, Yandina
You’ll want to take your time with this one. Located in an old church in Yandina, Collective Hausis an eclectic collection of antique furniture, vintage clothing and coffee. Spend a morning exploring and inject a little movie montage magic into your Insta stories. We think we’ve found our happy place.
Homegrown, Palmwoods
Beyond the iron gate at Homegrown, is a secret garden where foodies come out to play. Indulge in brunch in the laneway, sit back and relax with a coffee on the deck of the Tin Shed roastery, or catch up on some reading in the seclusion of the garden.
Padre Coffee, Noosa
Padre Coffee is bringing the Melbourne vibes to us here on the Sunshine Coast with its fresh, clean and super modern interior. And we particularly love the internal window panelling behind the servery, allowing a look into the belly of the beast, AKA the roastery, so you can watch the magic happen as you sip on a fresh brew. This is easily one of the most beautiful cafes on the Sunshine Coast.
Aimee Provence, Buderim
Paisley wallpaper, chandeliers and fresh blooms garnishing the tables, Aimee Provence exudes a high class fitting for a high tea parlour. Dress up and treat yourself to a Devonshire-style tea, where rosebuds swirl in glass teapots and the scones are served in tiered stands. And those petit fours, they will capture perfectly in Portrait mode.
Guru Life, Rosemount
Loud and lairy and totally cool, the jungle vibes are strong at Guru Life. Ease into the week with the ultimate brunch spread by the duck pond, or savour the last of your weekend with their Sunday session. Either way good times will ensue.
Tome, Maroochydore
When compiling a list of the most beautiful cafes on the Sunshine Coast, it’s impossible to leave out Tome. Simply stepping into this cute cafe will set your heart aflutter with its crisp decor, pendant lighting and artwork, and then there is the cake cabinet, which is stocked with the most divine cakes you ever did see.
Winnie, Woombye
They say good things come in small packages, and based on Winnie in Woombye, we’d wholeheartedly agree. There’s a couple of tables inside, a sweets and bread stand, a coffee station, and an impressively small kitchen space where some of the most stunning dishes are pulled together. Outside, there’s a deck space shaded by big umbrellas, where we could totally imagine gathering our mates for a weekend catch-up over cups of Vintage Black coffee. Just don’t forget your camera for this one.
