I recently visited Backstreet Cafe and from the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with the warmest atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot to relax and catch up with friends, right across the road from the beach. The menu is full of delicious options, which I enjoyed the brekky burrito and smashed avo with bacon. It was the best coffee I have had. Everything is made with such care, and you can really tell they use top-quality ingredients. I would highly recommend it.

Absolutely delicious French Toast and beautifully presented. It is obvious the team genuinely care about creating a great experience for their customers both with food and service. Coffee was sensational. So sweet and kind with my little Dachshund also. Highly recommend!
My two-day experience: Day1 I wanted iced latte with skim milk. When ordering I checked whether they have a skim milk and was told they do. I ordered two iced lattes (one with skim milk and one with full cream) this morning but when they were ready, I was told they only use one type, Norco Capo milk. The barista said it’s already fat free. I was puzzled and asked, I ordered one with full cream and one with skim milk. The barista kept saying they both use one type of milk which is fat free. I was annoyed but decided to walk away. The barista or any staff should understand the types of milk they use. Fat content of Norco Capo milk or most of barista milk have higher fat %, even more than the normal full cream milk. I would have been okay to be told they don’t have a skim milk, it means I would have just ordered one coffee. I’m disappointed. Day2 Despite the disappointing first day experience, I gave another go. This time I ordered a long black for myself.on Saturday morning the cafe was very busy. I waited 20 minutes for my takeaway two coffees and noticed people who ordered after me were getting their coffees before me. After 3 groups of people who ordered after me getting their coffees, I approached the baristas and ask whether my coffee would be ready soon. The staff seemed the u couldn't find my order but said they would make mine next. Soon after the lady who took my order came to ask me what hapd happened. When I explained she bluntly said they only serve people as they order and what happened? To me is not true. I was stunned by their reaction and rudeness. By that stage I was done with that cafe and thought I wouldn't come back. But, the owner approached me and apologised for what had happened and offered me to come to give them another try. I went back to give one last try, and had lunch and coffee again. This time I was served an iced latte with (correct) skim milk. Food was good and generous size. The owner was upset about what had happened and how both occasions his staff got it wrong with my orders. I appreciated him taking the time to address the issues and felt his service mindset. He shouted the entire meal for us too. Staff could move but the owner will be there so I would like to drop by when in Mooloola next time for him.
Friendly and welcoming staff. We were welcomed by what felt like the owner, and provided a table really quickly. The service was really good. Food was lovely, but the portions were really big. We went for breakfast. My husband and I eat a lot, we really could have shared a plate. Coffee was good.
Breakfast at Backstreet Cafe was delicious! we ordered “ Corn Fritters “ The poached eggs were perfectly cooked and the sauce was rich and creamy. The bacon and smashed avocado were full of flavour and everything was beautifully presented. Friendly staff and cosy atmosphere we were so happy today You make my day special!!!! we’d definitely come back again. Thank you so much
The espresso here is absolutely perfect smooth, rich, and full of flavour. The baristas clearly know what they’re doing and genuinely care about quality. The vibe is relaxed but stylish, with music that makes you want to stay all morning. And the owners? They’re the absolute best friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. My new favourite spot for sure!
I had the eggs Benedict and it was so good! Highly recommend and I will definitely come back. Staff are friendly. And the coffee is good as well, nice place for brunch.
This is my favorite Cafe in sunshine coast, the food is amazing and the owners are around the place taking care of the services. I went there many times, by my self, with my partner, to work and with friends. I recommend the smash burger, long black and the mushroom bruschetta
