What Makes the Ultimate Sunshine Coast Breakfast Experience?
Craving the best Sunshine Coast breakfast? It's more than just food—it's that perfect morning moment. At Flinders Lane Cafe, we've perfected this recipe for breakfast bliss where exceptional coffee meets incredible food in a space that feels like home.
The ultimate breakfast experience rests on three pillars: exceptional specialty coffee, innovative dishes, and a welcoming atmosphere. Miss one, and it's just another meal. Get all three right, and magic happens.
We've built our approach around these fundamentals because your morning deserves better than ordinary. Every detail is designed to create moments that make your day brighter.
It Starts with Unforgettable Signature Dishes
Great breakfasts begin with dishes that make you pause and think, "Now that's something special." Our menu is a carefully crafted lineup of flavour trips perfect for any time of day.
Our hero Chilli Scramble isn't your typical scramble. We start with silky, house-made chilli folded eggs on thick-cut sourdough, crowned with whipped feta, pickled guindilla peppers, and our signature crispy chilli oil. It's a flavour revelation that wins over even the spice-shy.
Our Classic Bacon Benny lifts a favourite. We use double bacon, perfectly poached eggs, and rich hollandaise for ultimate brunch satisfaction. A side of house-pickled fennel salad and a crispy hash brown completes this standout dish.
Need breakfast excellence on the run? Our grab-and-go options have you covered. The Brekky Muffin packs a beef patty, bacon, egg, cheese, and our house-made burger sauce into one portable package. Our B&E Roll keeps it simple with crispy bacon, fried egg, cheese, and house chipotle mayo in a toasted milk bun.
Our Avocado Toast is more than just smashed avo. We pair chunky avocado with whipped feta, spiced labneh, pickled onion, and goji berries. Finished with a house vinaigrette and a dusting of dukkah, it's as delicious as it is beautiful.
Our Veggie Sando proves plant-forward is full of flavour. Roasted sweet potato and capsicum meet grilled halloumi for a perfect sweet and savoury balance. House verde mayo on thick sourdough ties it all together.
Our Reuben Sando is deli-style nostalgia done right. We pile tender pastrami, tangy sauerkraut, house pickles, and Swiss cheese high, finished with our house-made Polish mayo. It's indulgent in all the right ways.

You Can't Beat a Perfectly Brewed Coffee
A Sunshine Coast breakfast without exceptional coffee is like a beach day without sun. At Flinders Lane Cafe, we treat coffee as an art form, crafting every cup with passion and skill.
Our journey starts with quality beans, but the magic is in the hands of our skilled baristas. They are craftspeople who understand that a perfect cup requires precision, timing, and a love for what they do.
Whether you're a Flat White purist, a Latte lover, or need a refreshing Iced Coffee, we've got you covered. Our baristas pour their expertise into every cup, ensuring that first sip is pure satisfaction.
We offer everything from classic Espresso to our popular Batch Brew. When the weather calls for something cool, our "Over Ice" range—including Iced Black, Iced Latte, and Iced Matcha—delivers flavour without the heat.
A proper coffee experience is about more than taste. It's the aroma, the warmth of the cup, and that perfect pause before the first sip. It's why we're a daily ritual for locals and a trip highlight for visitors.
