Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Sunshine Coast

"Aromasis the ultimate people watching palace, where tables face the street-front Parisienne style. It gets bonus points for opening extra early so line up for a coffee after your pre-breakfast swim. While it serves up good cooked breakfasts (free range poached eggs, portobello mushroom dishes and the like) a lighter option – bircher muesli or delicious fruit salad – should keep you going until lunch."

"Fronted by rows of street-facing cane chairs, sultry Aromas celebrates Parisian-style people watching. There’s the usual array of morning pastries, muesli and egg dishes, as well as light meals and more..."

"The hottest thing in Noosa right now is nowhere near the beach. Set your GPS for the Noosaville industrial park and step into the designer warehouse known as Belmondos to trip the light organic. Slowly replacing 15,000 products on their shelves with natural and organic products, the one-stop foodie destination now consists of different ‘market stalls’."

"The Caf Coolum always brews their Merlo Coffee just right – plus it is well-organised with friendly staff and locals. Caf is so reliable that we always bring our visitors and book a table first. The counter cakes are delicious, the food cabinet has cheaper options than the main menu and there are daily specials."

"Pleasant and affordable, Canteen in the Noosa Junction will remind you what a simple, yet delicious breakfast is. Treat yourself to their commendable Eggs Benny, or, keep it simple with a piece of Banana Bread and a perfectly brewed coffee. Canteen is also recognised for its friendly staff and prompt service."

"With uninterrupted views of the Noosa River and a heap of local beers cooling in the fridge, it’s hard to go past Flux for a night of relaxed drinking.

"Noosa's unmissable national park delivers spectacular coastal views (expect to see dolphins) and ambrosial beaches like Tea Tree Bay. The most scenic way to reach it is on the accoya-tree boardwalk along the coast from town. At the entrance, the Noosa National Park Information Centre has free walking maps and information on the day's koala sightings; the adjoining kiosk brews great coffee. The most popular trail is the Coastal Walk; allow at least 1½ hours for the return trip."

"The Noosa National Park is home to some of Australia’s most spectacular coastlines. It’s over 4,000 hectares and encompasses the picturesque headland in Noosa Heads, dunes and heath plains around Lake Weyba, coastal..."

"The passage of the Noosa River that cuts into the Great Sandy National Park north of Lake Cootharaba is poetically known as the ‘river of mirrors’ or the Everglades. Hosting almost half of the bird species found in Australia, the river's entire upper catchment is protected, making this one of the most pristine wetlands in the world. It's a perfect place to launch a kayak and camp in one of the many national park camping grounds along the riverbank."

"The Noosa River remains one of the most undisturbed rivers, acting as a mirror for the sunset to glimmer and sparkle on, with the hinterland in the background. When the beaches and lookouts are too crowded, head to Gympie Terrace, which is always a peaceful spot to watch the sun go down. To really satisfy all the senses, enjoy the show with fish and chips from Noosa Boathouse or take away pizza from Zachary’s."

"Located on the beachfront, Hastings Street is a famous Noosa shopping destination offering boutique shopping, surf wear shops, resort wear, retail outlets, home wares, jewellery, discount outlets, designer brands and more. The shops that line the street are also dotted with bars, cafes and restaurants making it the ideal destination for a day out shopping with friends. Spend your morning shopping up a storm, then break for lunch at one of the amazing cafes."
