Our menu celebrates the region's produce with something for everyone. Come on in, grab a seat, and see why locals and visitors keep coming back for more.
Seriously Good Sandwiches
Let's talk sandwiches. We've turned this lunchtime favourite into something special. Built on thick-cut sourdough, our sandos are bold, fresh, and satisfying.
Our Veggie Sando (v) is a revelation. We pack it with roasted sweet potato and capsicum, grilled halloumi, spinach, pickled onion, and our house verde mayo. The sweet veggies, salty halloumi, and tangy onion create a hearty, flavourful sandwich that leaves you feeling energised.
Then there's our legendary Reuben Sando, a classic with our own twist. We pile succulent pastrami, crunchy sauerkraut, house pickles, Swiss cheese, and house-made polish mayo on thick-cut sourdough. It's pressed until golden and irresistible, with each bite a perfect harmony of savoury, tangy, and rich flavours.
These are carefully crafted creations that bring extra joy to your day. Our sandwiches showcase what Sunshine Coast dining is all about: quality ingredients, bold flavours, and passion in every bite.
Crowd-Pleasers: The Heart of Sunshine Coast Dining
Some dishes just hit different. They're the ones you crave and tell your friends about. We've perfected a range of these crowd-pleasers, which have become beloved staples in our Maroochydore community.
Our Bacon Benny (gfo) is a classic done right. We start with thick-cut sourdough, pile on double bacon and two poached eggs, then drench it in creamy hollandaise. A house-pickled fennel salad adds a tangy crunch, while a golden hash brown brings extra indulgence.
If you like some heat, our Chilli Scramble (gfo/v) is for you. We layer house-made chilli scrambled eggs on toasted sourdough, then add whipped feta, pickled guindilla peppers, and a drizzle of our crispy chilli oil. It's a flavour explosion that's both comforting and exciting.
Our Avocado Toast (v) is anything but ordinary. We arrange chunky avocado on sourdough and top it with whipped feta, spiced labneh, pickled onion, goji berries, house vinaigrette, and fresh fennel salad, all dusted with dukkah. Customise it with a poached egg or double bacon.
For those who love the classics, our B&E Roll delivers crispy bacon, a fried egg, melty cheese, chipotle mayo, and crunchy pickles, all nestled in a toasted milk bun. Add some fresh avocado or a golden hash brown if you're feeling extra hungry.
The Brekkie Muffin is a serious hunger-buster featuring a beef patty, crispy bacon, fried egg, melty cheese, and our signature house-made burger sauce.
Our Eggs on Toast (gfo/v) proves that simplicity can be perfect. Choose poached or fried eggs on artisanal sourdough, then customise however you like. Add scrambled eggs, double bacon, sautéed mushrooms, fresh avocado, or a crispy hash brown.
And sometimes, you just need comfort food. Our Ham & Cheese Toastie delivers exactly that. It's thick-cut sourdough filled with smoked ham and melted cheese, simple, classic, and always hits the spot.
