The big breakfast draws repeat visitors, but it's the staff that reviewers keep coming back to. At The Coolum Social, a Birtwill Street café with a locally sourced menu, the welcome feels genuine rather than rehearsed. Gluten-free options are handled with care, the coffee is consistently strong, and the food arrives looking like someone actually thought about the plate. The fish tacos have fans, though a squeeze of lemon wouldn't go astray. The avocado toast at $25 is on the lean side for what arrives, so calibrate expectations accordingly. Busy enough that seating can take a moment, but the staff make the wait feel intentional rather than chaotic.

We had an amazing experience here. As soon as we walked in, we felt so welcomed by the staff and felt as though we were worth their time and they actually put effort into seating us. The coffee was fantastic and the food was great. Thanks so much!

Super yummy!! The big breakfast was absolutely fantastic. We got the fish tacos as well and they were quite yummy but needed a hit of lemon or some other tangy flavour. Lovely spot and super delicious. The coffee was amazing.

The Doonan
Doonan
A hinterland pub with two full-time gardeners, mist fans in summer, and a kitchen that takes its food seriously. Pizzas and mains from quality ingredients, a kids' playground that actually works, and gardens worth the drive from Noosa on their own.
Noosa Chocolate Factory
Noosaville QLD
Watch the chocolate being made through the factory window, then order the hot chocolate with oat milk. Handmade chocolates, Padre coffee, and a small garden out back. Gets crowded fast, so arrive early or settle in for the wait.
Organika
Noosaville QLD
The açai bowls alone are worth the detour. Organika runs as both organic grocer and wholefood café in Noosaville, with coffee that punches above its weight and a kitchen using genuinely clean ingredients. Prices reflect the quality. The community regulars keep coming back regardless.
