The Family Behind the Food
When the sun comes up, we're already pouring.
Every morning at 5AM, while most of Mooloolaba is still asleep, we're flipping eggs for the dawn patrol—surfers dripping saltwater, swimmers fresh from the pool, joggers catching their breath, tradies getting a jump on the day.
We're not a chain. We're not trying to be fancy. We're just a family who figured out that the best way to start your day is with good food, strong coffee, and people who actually remember your order.
When we learned how hard it is for families with coeliac kids to find somewhere safe to eat, we invested in a dedicated gluten-free fryer. Not because it was easy, but because every family deserves to eat out without the worry.

What the Locals Say
Real people. Real mornings.
"Our go-to spot after morning surf. Open at 5am means we can fuel up before hitting the waves. The staff remember our order, the kids love the Little Nipper meals, and it just feels like... home. This is what a local cafe should be."
