The Pastry Lab
Caloundra
If the name wasn’t enough of a giveaway, The Pastry Lab has the best variety of pastries on the S.C. From custard-filled croissants and savoury tarts, to fun desserts like a cinnamon cruffin (a croissant-muffin mashup), the artisanal patisserie and espresso bar has it all. After one bite of their delicious, sweet or savoury treat, you’ll be counting down the days until you’re back. Beautiful views, delish bites, and good coffee – what more could you want from your morning?
One Block Back

One Block Back is also fully licensed so you can enjoy a cheeky cocktail, wine, or beer at your next brunch date, too.
The Milk Bar Coffee Co.
Maroochydore
Situated near the esplanade in Maroochydore is where you’ll find The Milk Bar Coffee Co. Enjoy menu items like smashed avocado on organic sourdough, pistachio and honey granola, and brekky rolls. However, if you’re after something a bit more substantial, we’d recommend tucking into one of their famous toasties. Choose from classic smoked ham and vintage cheddar, black truffle, and roast mushroom, and pulled pork and cheddar. The icing on the cake? The cute fit out and friendly service.
VanillaFood
Noosaville, Noosa Junction
It wouldn’t be a trip to Noosa without a visit to VanillaFood, the coastal town’s number one organic café. Enjoy a variety of delicious, wholesome eats like breakfast gnocchi, tofu scrambled eggs, breakfast bruschetta, and buckwheat waffles.

Jungle & Co

Whether you’re vegan, paleo, ketogenic, or just enjoy eating healthy food, you’ll be sure to find something you love at Jungle & Co, Australia’s first gut health bar. From collagen boosting smoothies and cold pressed juices, to toast pairings that look too pretty to eat, there’s a variety of tasty menu items to choose from. Prefer a salty breakfast? We’d recommend ordering their signature avo toast, which is made up of grilled halloumi, smashed avo, vegan basil pesto, cherry tomatoes, and chia seeds on gut-healthy bread.
Bistro C
