About
Mooloolaba Cafe is one of the highest-rated spots on the Sunshine Coast, and with close to 195 reviews backing it up, that reputation is well earned. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner Monday through Sunday, this women-owned small business brings a casual, welcoming atmosphere to the Mooloolaba dining scene, with outdoor seating and a kids’ menu making it a natural fit for families.
The cafe has earned its reputation partly through a serious commitment to dietary needs. A dedicated gluten-free fryer means those with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivities can order with confidence. Gluten-free chips, potato cakes, calamari, and sweet treats are all on the menu, and regulars with dietary requirements find their requests handled without fuss. Vegetarian options are also catered for, making this one of the more accommodating kitchens in Mooloolaba.
Portions are generous, pricing is competitive, and the kitchen turns orders around quickly. First-time visitors frequently comment they wished they had found the place sooner, while returning regulars come back for the consistent quality and the care that goes into every order. The coffee draws praise too, which is not always a given at a casual cafe.
Dine-in, takeaway, kerbside pickup, and delivery are all available, and the wheelchair-accessible entrance with free street parking makes the visit easy for everyone. Phone ahead during busy periods to get your order in early.

This place exceeded expectations and then some.
Absolutely delicious food. Easily the best meal we’ve had in a long long time.
The Chef was absolutely fantastic and incredibly humble.
Service second to none.
And the coffee was absolutely spot on.
Do yourself a favour and support these guys they will knock your socks off!
I had breakfast here on my last day in Mooloolaba and it really makes me wish I’d discovered this place sooner! It was such a generous portion at a very good price and it was very nice. If I ever end up in Mooloolaba again I’ll be sure not to leave it until my last day to come here again!
This is our second time going to Mooloolaba Cafe and there is a reason we will keep coming back. The food has been consistently good, our dietary requests have not been an issue and the food is delicious. Highly recommend!
And they heard it was my birthday so brought me fresh GF DF treats from the oven.
Would eat here every meal if I could!
What a great find this place was for us. My daughter is coeliac so finding gluten-free takeaway is not easy. This place surpassed expectations, they absolutely nailed gluten-free calamari, as they did the potato scallops. In fact the potato scallops were so good they reheated perfectly the next day in the air fryer – a plus.
Highly recommend this for anyone looking for gluten-free. Everything was packaged in separate containers. The gluten-free and the food containing gluten were put in separate bags. Very hard to fault. Great work guys, look forward to our next visit.
Ordered calamari today🦑🦑
Only $19 and the portion was HUGE, literally enough for two people! The chips were so good too, seasoned with salt and pepper. 🤤✨
The portion looks small on photo, but it was actually a lot! Forgive my poor photography skill!🙆🏻♀️🙏🏻
The food in this cafe is sooo delicious. I would say one of the best I have ever eaten. Being a vegetarian there won’t be much options available but we could find here. The veg burger and chips are soo yumm. They even have toys to keep kids engaged while they prepare the food.. must try cafe if anyone is visiting Mooloolaba.
We visited this Cafe on Wednesday morning for breakfast. The service was very friendly and welcoming to my young kids. The food tasted great and they were allergy friendly for both a dairy allergy and a gluten intolerance. Would 100% recommend them or visit again. The atmosphere would have been great if there wasn’t construction work going on but that’s not the cafe’s fault. They even had some toys for the kids
This place is a hidden gem! I have had the crumbed snapper, chips (best on the coast) and salad three times now and it has been delicious on every occasion. Very generous portion size and great value for money. Honestly, don’t waste your time and money going to one of the other local fish and chip shops. The crumb is beautifully seasoned and the piece of fish is substantial and cooked well. Nice fresh salad too. The staff are friendly, accommodating and efficient.
