The coffee here is roasted on-site, and regulars notice the difference. Sunshine Social sits on a tiered outdoor deck in Sunshine Beach, a short walk from the sand, with low couches, high benches, and enough umbrella cover to make lingering feel like a reasonable life choice. The carrot cake gets mentioned repeatedly, as does the cold brew on hot days. Beyond that, expect quiches, ham and cheese croissants, tarts, and slices, all at prices that won't sting after a beach morning. The crowd is a mix of holiday returnees who've made this a daily ritual and locals who know the flat whites are consistently good. Dogs are welcome on the lower deck. If you're heading up from Sunshine Beach after a swim, this is the obvious stop.
We absolutely love this coffee shop! We visit every single day when we’re on holiday, and it’s always one of the highlights of our trip. The coffee is consistently the best around, the cakes are delicious, and the service is genuinely outstanding — friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The outside seating area is beautiful and makes it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Highly recommended! ☕🍰🌿
I had a cold brew, which was really refreshing and great for these hot days to get cool down. Also carrot cake was so good, it was the best carrot cake ever in my life, to say the least. It's highly recommended who wants to eat something light. I'd love to visit there again.
Grabbed a coffee and tart here on our way back from the beach. Lovely sheltered outdoor decking with a range of low couches, high benches, and tables. Good coffee that is roasted on-site. A small range of cold drinks and easy snacks such as quiches, ham and cheese croissants, tarts, slices etc.

Sunrise Beach
Directly across from Sunrise Beach, Chalet & Co draws a loyal local crowd for banana waffles, Pink Dragon smoothies, and eggs Benny made with sustainably sourced ingredients. It runs busy on weekends. Order your coffee when you sit down.

Noosa Heads QLD
Queues form before sunrise on Hastings Street for a reason. The Bánh Mì Pork Belly Bagel has made converts of passing tourists, the coffee is textbook consistent, and the Dutch owner has a habit of pulling up a chair. Mornings for brunch, afternoons for gin and share plates.

Noosa Heads QLD
Saturday morning on Hastings Street is a contact sport. The queues form before 9am and the good tables go fast. But Noosa's best cafes are not all on the main strip. From Sunshine Beach's serious coffee roasters to Noosaville's riverside spots, this is where locals actually eat brunch and how to get a table when it counts.
Noosa feeds 55,000 people and somehow maintains a restaurant scene that embarrasses cities ten times its size. From the hardest booking on Hastings Street to a lamb rump above the Pacific at Sunshine Beach SLSC, these are the twelve restaurants worth planning your trip around in 2026.
Sensational Coffee, Heaps of cushy & comfy seats, plenty of breeze on the lower and upper deck that has ample umbrellas to sit under after hitting the beach Dogs allowed lower Deck. Had two flat whites, bacon and Egg Mini Cuiche & a Anzac Biscuit on Rememberance Day❤️ both on the money
Favourite coffee shop in Australia by far (visiting one every day and this one gets top marks)! Lovely atmosphere with plenty of seating, delicious coffee for a good price, friendly staff and great selection of food in addition to coffee offerings. Highly recommend.
Pan-Asian shared plates at a price that makes you do a double-take. The tuna tartare and firecracker chicken are the ones to order, the chef selection banquet at $69 is the move for groups, and the outdoor terrace fills fast. Book ahead.
