The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere, punctuated by the tantalizing aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the gentle hum of friendly chatter.

This charming café prides itself on its unique menu, offering a delightful spectrum of breakfast options that are as visually appealing as they are scrumptious.

My favourite cafe in Canarita! The staff are awesome here and the coffee and toasties are on point. Fairly priced too

A few vegan options and love the idea of making your own selection for sandwich fillings. Coffee was too strong for me, other than that we loved our breaky date when we were visiting over the weekend. Chill vibe. Toilet available on site. Very busy & not a huge amount of seating areas, but people seemed to move on after eating so defs worth waiting around for an available table or grabbing something takeaway.

Perfect on a hot and stick morning. Açai bowl and iced latte. Yum!! Their toasties are delicious too, probably due to the quality and freshness of their baked products like sourdough and croissants. Chilled vibe with friendly service staff. Highly recommend for breakfast.

Great place close to the beach. Best coffee in Cabarita. You can’t go past their homemade cakes. A must try is their carrot cake, sweet and delicious. Shout out to Jules, always welcomes us with her beautiful presence :-)

The BEST toasty I’ve had in my life!!! I’m not even exaggerating. The Nicks Cheese Toasty was so insanely good that my husband and I were telling strangers on the street that they should get it. It The flavour was perfectly balanced with cheese, jalapeños, mayo, hot sauce, sun dried tomato, rocket and amazing bread. We also enjoyed their smoothies and coffee! I was also pleased with the size and that it $18 rather than $20 like most meals in this town. There are other cheese toasties that are less expensive but this one… wow. I also liked that the environment wasn’t too packed or noisy compared to other cafes.
