This breakfast and lunch spot has made a name for itself as one of Noosa’s most loved brekkie spots for some very delicious reasons. If you’re a fan of acai bowls, Depot’s are seriously next-level or go for our favourite; the twice-cooked garlic and thyme mushrooms with walnut pesto, egg, beetroot hummus and dukkah on sourdough.

This is definitely one of the best places in Noosa for people-watching. Aromas‘ seating faces out on to the street, so order a croque monsieur and housemade cold pressed juice and settle in for a morning of people-watching.

Let food be thy medicine at Jungle & Co where your Noosa breakfast is enhanced with probiotic and prebiotic-rich foods and drinks. Pay a visit to this Sunshine Coast wellness institution and you will devour cold-press juices, jungle shots, botanical elixirs and plant-based salads that taste so good, you won’t believe they are capable of injecting so much goodness into your body. Our personal menu highlight is the blessed by avo toast with grilled halloumi, smashed avocado, vegan cashew cheese, tomatoes and chia seeds on gut-health toast. It’s a jungle out there, and we like it.

Moto (Noosa Junction)

Moto was created out of a love for all the good things in life—coffee, food, beers, music and mates. We dig it. The team behind Moto is on a mission to bring jaffles back, with an enticing breakfast spin on the childhood classic loaded with prosciutto, house-made baked beans, Maleny smoked cheddar and mozzarella. Don’t pretend like you’re not impressed, especially when that kind of deliciousness is paired with locally-roasted Clandestino coffee. We’re also a major fan of their vegan Moto Mushrooms, with vegan aioli, cherry tomatoes and macadamia kale pesto on Turkish bread.

Word on the street is that Jimmy Fox in Noosaville is the place to kickstart your day with enticingly quirky meals that hit the spot every time. The small haunt practices a good food movement, dealing with only the freshest Sunshine Coast produce and transforming it into meals like sticky black rice porridge with grilled banana, candied coconut, ginger syrup and coconut ice-cream. Or, how about their Japanese savoury pancake topped with pulled pork and a fried egg. Whoa, Jimmy Fox, shut up and take our money.
