About
Cafe Eatz is a casual multi-purpose café located in Westcourt, near the DFO shopping precinct in Cairns, Queensland. It serves a broader menu than a typical fish and chip shop, covering breakfast, lunch, fresh juices, coffee, and salads alongside its fish and chips offerings. The fish and chips with salad is the signature combination here, and regulars appreciate the generous salad choices that come with it.
The venue has built a small but loyal following over the years, with some locals visiting weekly. Staff are frequently mentioned by name, and the warm, welcoming service from the team is a consistent highlight. The space itself is clean and tidy, with dine-in and takeaway available, free on-site parking, and full wheelchair accessibility throughout. A kids’ menu makes it a practical stop for families in the area.
Beyond the fish and chips, the fresh juices and pork rolls attract repeat visitors, with the pork described as tender and the produce notably fresh. For anyone passing through Westcourt or shopping at DFO Cairns, Cafe Eatz offers a relaxed sit-down option that goes well beyond the standard fish and chip shop format.
Phone ahead for larger orders, and see the menu below for current options.

Very bad value for money. First and last time. Asian lady behind counter rude as hell. $9.5 for the smallest juice in Cairns. Stingy….hardly any pork in the roll. $22. Never again.
Very good pork sandwich, super fresh, tasty and tender. Clean and tidy place. Friendly and polite staff, not sure what the others here are talking about, good I didn’t read the reviews before going. This place has delivered.
I have been coming to Cafe Eatz religiously for over three years to get fresh juice now. Best fresh juice in town! Jenn and the team are really friendly and welcoming. Great place to get a bite as well when at DFO, especially the roast pork rolls/sandwiches. Highly recommended!
Jen at DFO Cafe Eatz in Cairns is fabulous. Always welcoming with a beautiful warm hello to me and my Dad when we come in each Sunday after church. My Dad loves the pork and gravy roll or fish with salad.. beautiful and fresh each time. My favourite each Sunday is breakfast with a pot of tea.. and Jen knows just how I like it. I totally recommend eating at Cafe Eatz DFO Cairns. The team are THE BEST!
Fish chips and salad are good combination for lunch. Very good, lots of salad choices.Good customer service especially Razmataz with the smile always.
Great team here. Very friendly and Kaho always makes the best drinks. I’ve been loving the new menu lately as well. I usually go here a few times a week for it’s quality and convenience to me.
Food poisoning. I ordered a grilled barramundi piece. I received my order, and had eaten some, as I started looking more at it and breaking it up I come to find it’s not actually cooked properly at all and was raw throughout especially most in the middle. Brought to the counter, and the man took and cooked a new one for us and this one was cooked much better thankfully.
Unfortunately I ate enough to end getting food poisoning and that was horrible. As lovely as the service was the fish really should have been cooked thoroughly to begin with so as to not risk a customer getting food poisoning.
Unfortunately I can’t recommend this place,but hopefully my feedback can give staff some encouragement to be more considerate and have higher regard for customers and their wellbeing.
$14.50 for a large salad box, good portion size and good selection. Could do with a bit more salad dressing though.
