Sunshine Coast


A friendly, lo-fi cafe where barefoot beach-goers banter with the staff while waiting for their impeccable macchiatos. In one corner is the tiny open kitchen, pumping out a short menu of Middle Eastern–inspired dishes like breakfast sujuk (a dry, spicy sausage) with tomatoes, peppers, poached eggs and tahini yogurt, or lunchtime smoked-chicken salad with avocado, pumpkin and roasted macadamia.
