Where Locals Brunch: Flinders Lane Cafe’s Most Loved Dishes

Why Brunch Food is the Perfect Weekend Experience

Brunch food combines the best of breakfast and lunch into a leisurely meal that has become a beloved weekend tradition. Unlike a rushed breakfast or formal dinner, brunch offers a perfect balance of indulgence and comfort, allowing you to savour quality dishes while enjoying a slower pace.

At Flinders Lane Cafe in Maroochydore, we've found the secret to exceptional brunch lies in combining fresh, local ingredients with dishes that satisfy both sweet and savoury cravings. Our signature items like the Chilli Scramble ($21) and Bacon Benny ($24) have become local favourites because they deliver that perfect brunch experience—satisfying, flavourful, and made with genuine care.

I'm Janice Kuz, owner of Flinders Lane Cafe. With over 20 years in hospitality, I've learned that the best brunch food brings people together. My passion for creating welcoming spaces where locals and visitors can enjoy honest, satisfying food has shaped everything we do here at Flinders Lane.

What Makes Brunch the Best Meal of the Week?

Brunch is more than just a meal; it’s a cherished social occasion that celebrates the weekend. It’s about slowing down, connecting with loved ones, and indulging in a diverse spread that caters to all tastes. The beauty of brunch food lies in its versatility, offering both sweet and savoury options to please everyone at the table.

At Flinders Lane Cafe, we truly believe in the power of community. Brunch isn't just a meal; it's the perfect informal setting for real chats and good times. That social connection is incredibly important for your well-being. When you gather for brunch, you're not just eating – you're making memories.

Our Signature Brunch Food: Must-Try Dishes at Flinders Lane Cafe

At Flinders Lane Cafe, our reputation for exceptional brunch food is built on changing simple, quality ingredients into memorable meals. Our all-day menu showcases the best of local produce, with each plate crafted to deliver comfort and excitement. We honour the classics while adding our own creative touches, and our two signature dishes have become the heart of our menu.

Our Hero Dish: The Chilli Scramble (gfo/v)

Our Chilli Scramble ($21) is a symphony of textures and flavours. The foundation is our silky, house-made chilli folded eggs, cooked low and slow to a perfect creamy consistency. We serve them on thick-cut toasted sourdough with thoughtful toppings that create magic in every bite.

Creamy whipped feta adds tangy richness, while pickled guindilla peppers bring a bright, zesty pop. The finishing touch is a generous drizzle of our house-made crispy chilli oil, packed with aromatic spices and texture. It’s this attention to detail that makes our Chilli Scramble a true hero dish.

A Classic Perfected: The Bacon Benny (gfo)

Our Bacon Benny ($24) is brunch food comfort at its finest, proving that respecting tradition while focusing on quality delivers incredible results. We start with thick-cut toasted sourdough, layered with double bacon cooked to a perfect balance of crispy and tender.

Two perfectly poached eggs are topped with a rich hollandaise sauce, made fresh throughout the day for that classic buttery, lemony flavour. What lifts our Benny beyond the ordinary is a house-pickled fennel salad for a refreshing crunch and a crispy hash brown to make every bite complete. It’s a classic perfected.
