• Fresh, locally-sourced ingredients for maximum flavour and nutrition

Nestled in the heart of Maroochydore, Flinders Lane Cafe has become the local favourite for good reason. We're talking fresh ingredients, house-made touches, and a menu that suits both early risers grabbing a quick bite and weekend brunchers settling in for a leisurely meal.

Located at Unit 2/31 Flinders Lane, our cafe combines the convenience of easy access with the charm of a genuine community hub. Whether you're a busy professional needing your morning fuel, a holidaymaker exploring the Sunshine Coast, or a local looking for your new regular spot, we've got you covered.

As Janice Kuz, owner of Flinders Lane Cafe, I've spent over 20 years in hospitality perfecting the art of pairing quality coffee with satisfying food that brings people together. My passion for creating the perfect breakfast with coffee experience drives everything we do, from sourcing the finest beans to crafting dishes that complement every sip.

We understand that how you start your day sets the tone for everything that follows. That's why we believe in the power of a great breakfast with coffee. It's not just about satisfying hunger; it's about fuelling your body and mind for the day ahead. A healthy breakfast, typically made up of plenty of protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats, works harmoniously with your morning coffee. This winning combination isn't just about flavour; it's about amplifying taste and texture while providing sustained energy.

Pairing your coffee with a balanced, nutrient-dense breakfast is key to open uping a truly productive and energised morning. It helps to keep you fuller for longer and supports long-lasting energy, preventing those dreaded mid-morning slumps. A proper breakfast helps to regulate hormones, boost your metabolism, and increase satiety, meaning you're less likely to reach for unhealthy snacks before lunch.

The Ultimate All-Day Menu

At Flinders Lane Cafe, we've thoughtfully designed our menu around one simple idea: every dish should be the perfect companion to your coffee. Whether you're grabbing a quick breakfast with coffee before work or settling in for a leisurely weekend brunch, our all-day offerings focus on fresh, satisfying options that taste incredible and leave you feeling energised.

All-Day Brekkie Favourites

Starting your day with enough protein is a game-changer for sustained energy and focus. That's why our all-day brekkie favourites are packed with quality ingredients that work beautifully alongside your morning brew. Protein helps slow down carbohydrate absorption, keeping your energy steady and your mood balanced - especially important when you're enjoying that essential cup of coffee.

Our Brekkie Muffin is a true hunger-buster that combines a juicy beef patty, crispy bacon, a perfectly fried egg, melted cheese, and our secret house-made burger sauce. It's a powerhouse of protein and flavour that'll keep you satisfied for hours. If you're after something a bit lighter but equally satisfying, our B&E Roll delivers with crispy bacon, a fried egg, melty cheese, chipotle mayo, and pickles, all nestled in a toasted milk bun. You can even add fresh avo or a golden hash brown to make it your own.

Sometimes the classics are best, which is why our Eggs on Toast remains a customer favourite. Choose your style - poached or fried - on thick-cut sourdough, then customise with scrambled eggs, double bacon, sautéed mushrooms, creamy avo, or a crispy hash brown. Eggs are naturally high in protein and perfect for steadying blood sugar, helping you avoid that mid-morning energy crash.

The beauty of pairing these protein-rich dishes with your coffee lies in the balance. While caffeine gives you that alert feeling, a nutrient-dense breakfast with coffee helps stabilise blood sugar and provides sustained energy without the jitters or sudden crashes.

Egg Specials With a Twist

We love taking familiar favourites and giving them our unique spin. Our egg specials aren't just about amazing flavours - they're designed to provide that substantial protein hit that nutritionists recommend for breakfast, typically around 20-30 grams of high-quality protein.

Our Bacon Benny puts a delicious twist on the beloved classic with thick-cut toasted sourdough, generous double bacon, two perfectly poached eggs, and luscious hollandaise sauce. It's served alongside our house-pickled fennel salad and a golden hash brown for a meal that's both indulgent and satisfying. Research shows that high-protein breakfasts like this can help regulate hormones, boost metabolism, and keep you feeling fuller for longer - perfect when paired with your morning coffee. You can explore more on the benefits of high-protein breakfasts through scientific studies.

Then there's our Chilli Scramble - prepare to meet your new obsession! We take house-made chilli scrambled eggs and layer them generously on sourdough, topped with creamy whipped feta, zesty pickled guindilla peppers, and a drizzle of our irresistible house-made crispy chilli oil. This flavour explosion delivers serious protein with a delightful kick that'll wake up your taste buds.

These substantial dishes work beautifully with coffee because they help buffer its natural acidity. When you enjoy coffee on an empty stomach, it can sometimes cause discomfort, but pairing it with protein-rich meals like our egg specials creates a comfortable, energised start to your day.

For the Avocado Lovers & Toastie Fans

We believe in catering to every craving, whether you're after something fresh and vibrant or seeking comfort food perfection. Our avocado dishes and toasties offer delicious alternatives that pair beautifully with your morning coffee while keeping you satisfied and energised.

Our Avocado Toast is truly a work of art - chunky avocado generously topped with whipped feta, spiced labneh, pickled onion, vibrant goji berries, our house vinaigrette, and delicate fennel salad, all dusted with dukkah. It's Instagram-worthy and packed with healthy fats and fibre that support sustained energy and gut health. Want to boost the protein? Add a poached egg or double bacon to make it even more substantial.

For those seeking classic comfort, our Ham & Cheese Toastie delivers every time. Made with thick-cut sourdough, quality smoked ham, and perfectly melted cheese, it's simple, satisfying, and always hits the spot.

These options shine as breakfast with coffee choices because they avoid the sugar roller coaster. While sugary pastries might taste amazing with your morning brew, they often lead to energy spikes followed by crashes. Our avocado toast and ham & cheese toastie provide delicious satisfaction without excessive sugar, helping maintain stable blood sugar and steady energy throughout your morning.

The Perfect Breakfast with Coffee

Coffee at Flinders Lane Cafe isn't just a drink - it's an experience crafted with passion and expertise. We serve everything from robust Espresso and Long Black to creamy Flat White, Latte, and Cappuccino. Looking for alternatives? Our Chai, Hot Chocolate, Dirty Chai, and Green Matcha are equally delicious options.

Understanding coffee pairings can transform your morning experience. Just like wine pairs differently with various foods, coffee roast profiles complement different breakfast dishes in unique ways. Our light roasts with their bright, fruity notes pair beautifully with fresh, delicate flavours. Medium roasts offer incredible versatility, working wonderfully with everything from our savoury Bacon Benny to our comforting Ham & Cheese Toastie. Dark roasts bring bold intensity that stands up to substantial dishes like our Brekkie Muffin.

Coffee offers impressive health benefits when enjoyed as part of a balanced diet. A daily cup provides antioxidants and nutrients your body needs, and for most people, staying within the recommended 400mg daily caffeine limit (roughly four cups) is perfectly healthy. This is where a proper breakfast with coffee becomes essential - the balanced meal helps manage caffeine's effects and supports overall wellbeing.

We even get creative with our pairings! Coffee and chocolate are natural partners, and our seasonal menu changes monthly, offering fresh opportunities for exciting new combinations. Follow our social media channels to stay updated on our latest specials and unique pairing suggestions.

Hearty Sandwiches for a Perfect Lunch

While we're renowned for our breakfast offerings, our lunch sandwiches are equally impressive. Made fresh to order with house-made touches, they're perfect whether you're dining in with friends or grabbing takeaway around Maroochydore.

Our Veggie Sando brings together roasted sweet potato and capsicum, grilled halloumi, fresh spinach, pickled onion, and our house verde mayo, all piled high on thick-cut sourdough. It's vibrant, satisfying, and packed with flavour. For those craving something more traditional, our Reuben Sando delivers with tender pastrami, tangy sauerkraut, house pickles, Swiss cheese, and our house-made Polish mayo on thick-cut sourdough - a true deli classic that'll transport your taste buds.

These sandwiches pair beautifully with our iced coffees or refreshing teas, creating a complete and satisfying midday meal that keeps you energised for whatever the afternoon brings.
