CAFFIEND REVIEWS
This coffee place is an absolute gem - starting with the nice name they picked. The waiter was very friendly and the food was very good. They took standard/known dishes and added their own twist to it. The chili jam on the chili eggs was a really good idea and great execution. The avocado toast is a classic, but it had a nice additional freshness to it. We also had the pour over, which came with some of the ground beans to smell the coffee itself. There were two cups to drink from, one that accentuated the acidity in the coffee and one that accentuated the fruitiness. The aromas of the coffee differed significantly between the two cups. The extra info on the card was an added bonus!
Best coffee shop in Cairns. Gourmet food, excellent espresso and filtered coffee, and an awesome ambience with local artists lining the walls. Must see in Cairns if you like coffee or breakfast.
This place is my go to for breakfast in Cairns. Best smashed avo I have tasted around. The whipped feta is to die for. Full of flavour and I always look forward to it when I’m around Cairns. Coffee is yummy too. Service is very good.

BANG & GRIND REVIEWS
Enjoyed the coffee here, nice flavour & good strength. The service was fast & welcoming. The cafe has a cosy atmosphere & there's plenty of seating outside or inside.
My bacon and cheese quiche was DIVINE. The pastry was so perfect. My hot chocolate was delicious, the staff are personable and polite. I love this place! The music is actually good, too, which is rare in this day.
Absolutely amazing cafe. Great service and atmosphere. The majestic mango smoothie is super creamy and fresh made with real mango, yoghurt and honey creating a light, smooth and delicious smoothie. The big brekky is plentiful and cooked to perfection. Everything on the plate is perfectly moist, or charred. The poached eggs are perfectly runny on the inside atop the fluffy and chewy foccacia. The mushroom is thick and juicy and the tomatoes add a fresh crunch. Absolutely recommend.

THE LILLIPAD CAFE REVIEWS
Amazing, dietary accessible food. Ordered the Full Monty and received double than what I expected! They definitely know how to feed their customer.
Fantastic! The best place for breakfast in Cairns. The service was super friendly and welcoming, with a really nice vibe inside. I ordered the Just Eggs, scrambled which came with French toast (also ordered a croissant which was 10/10) and it was amazing! Really nicely presented and full of flavour. 10/10 would recommend and return. Really affordable prices and plenty of options for Vegans/Veggies.
Best coffee in Cairns! It's a cosy little place and they offer a variety of brekky. The eggs benedict are incredible and they are served with delicious little roast potatoes. Highly recommend if you're in Cairns!
