SUBWAY REVIEWS

I think it was the best Subway I’ve been to. The staff were extremely diligent and enthusiastic about making a really neat sandwich. The service was excellent too; despite my limited English, they made sure to double-check if they were making the right menu for me. It was the most satisfying service experience I’ve had in almost a year.

Very nice and mannerly presented The staff is amazing and they do really care about the customers One if the best sub’s had it in a while.

One of the best Subway's I've been to. Very clean, well made sandwich, plenty of staff. I'll be back.

JAMDROP CAFE CAIRNS REVIEWS

What a fantastic cafe - definitely the best coffee in town. The food is fantastic value - big servings, you won’t be hungry when you leave! They have great music playing and it’s very conveniently located to hotels and the hospital. The staff are excellent- very service oriented. Ten out of ten, I’ve enjoyed every mouthful.

Came here 4x on a week long trip in Cairns. The food is so good and the staff are so nice I would 100% go to Cairns again just to eat here. I definitely recommend Big Breakfast 2 the mushrooms are to die for.

Had breakfast here twice orderd the number 1 big breakfast and the bacon cheese tomato omelette and omg absolutley beautiful u must come to this place absoultley beautiful food.

EARL'S EATERY CAIRNS REVIEWS

I went to Earl's to sample their Iced Matcha and the Tuna Melt Toastie. The Iced Matcha was smooth and had a robust flavor. The tuna melt toastie was delicious, bursting with flavor and generously portioned. My top pick would be the cinnamon scroll with icing. It was amazing. The staff were also very friendly. I suggest visiting Earl's on a weekday since it tends to be less crowded than on weekends.

Absolutely loved my visit to Earls Eatery! The cinnamon scroll was soft, fluffy, and perfectly sweet and gooey, I’d go back just for that. I also tried the Chicken Cesar Focaccia. The chicken was crunchy on the outside, warm and moist inside, and the prosciutto added a rich, savory touch. The focaccia is incredibly soft and airy. Highly recommend! Get in early.

A newly opened sandwich shop in the city — great design and atmosphere, with excellent and friendly service. It really adds a good vibe to the start of the day.
