There's nothing like the promise of a good feed to kickstart your day on the Sunshine Coast. If you're searching for a brunch spot that delivers on all fronts, from flavour-packed food and damn good coffee to a vibe that keeps locals coming back, you've found it.

The Nines Emporium isn't your average café. We're talking about a place where the pancakes are stacked high with maple bacon bits and candied walnuts, where the Eggs Benedict comes in three legendary variations, and where you can pair your Big Boi Brekky with a cold beer after 10am (because why not?). The menu is bold, the portions are generous, and boring just isn't on the agenda.

But it's not just about the food. The Nines has built a loyal following since 2015 by creating a space that feels warm, welcoming, and genuinely fun. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee on your way to work, catching up with mates over brunch, or bringing the family (and the pup) for a relaxed weekend feed, this is the kind of spot that becomes part of your routine.

I'm Janice Kuz, proud owner of The Nines Emporium and a 20-year hospitality veteran who's passionate about creating memorable great place for breakfast experiences. I opened The Nines almost 10 years ago with a vision to create a café experience on the Sunshine Coast that was bigger, bolder, and more fun, and I still wake up excited to serve up creative dishes and quality coffee every single day.

Why The Nines is a Great Place for Breakfast and Brunch

Reason 1: An Exceptional Menu That Makes for a Great Place for Breakfast

At The Nines, we live by a simple philosophy: "We Don't Do Boring." That means every dish on our menu is crafted to be flavour-packed and feel-good, turning every visit into a culinary adventure that genuinely excites us (and hopefully you, too!). Since opening almost 10 years ago, I've been constantly motivated to grow and tweak our offerings to keep things fresh and exciting for our Sunshine Coast community.

Let's explore some of our legendary offerings that make us a great place for breakfast .

The Famous Benny Trilogy

We're talking about Eggs Benedict, but with a Nines twist. Our "Benny Trilogy" isn't just a dish; it's a celebration of refined indulgence that caters to every craving. Whether you're a bacon lover, a seafood fan, or keeping it veggie, there's a Benny waiting for you.

The Eggs Benedict Bacon is the classic, done right. Picture crispy bacon, two perfectly poached eggs, rich hollandaise, fresh spinach, creamy avocado, and a golden hash brown, all nestled on toasted sourdough. It's the ultimate comfort food that hits different every time. If you like a touch of luxury, the Eggs Benedict Smoked Salmon features succulent smoked salmon, two poached eggs, our velvety hollandaise, spinach, avocado, and a hash brown on toasted sourdough. It's light, fresh, and utterly satisfying.

For our vegetarian friends, the Eggs Benedict Mushroom (V) is a game-changer. We pile on roasted garlic thyme mushrooms, two poached eggs, our unique pesto hollandaise, and a hash brown on toasted sourdough. That pesto hollandaise? Absolute magic. We put skill and care into every perfectly poached egg, ensuring that runny yolk goodness, and our hollandaise is rich and velvety, made fresh daily. You can dive deeper into our Benny obsession here.

Pancake Stacks and Waffles That Wow

Got a sweet tooth? Our pancake stacks are legendary around here. Our regular pancake stack is a menu staple, piled high with maple bacon bits, grilled banana, candied walnuts, vanilla ice cream, and a generous pour of maple syrup. It's that perfect sweet and salty combo that'll make your belly full and your camera roll happy.

And our waffles ? They're equally divine. Think blueberry waffles topped with poached pears, lemon curd, and meringue snow. They're dessert-worthy brunch options that are pure weekend joy. We're always brainstorming new sweet sensations, so keep an eye out for what's next. Check out more sweet brunch favourites here.

Monthly Specials: Limited-Time Legends

We love to keep things fresh and exciting with our monthly specials . How are these born? We keep an eye on what's trending online and listen to what you, our amazing customers, are craving. Then, our incredible kitchen team puts their own fun twist on those flavours, turning them into the creative stacks and dishes you see popping up each month.

Pancakes are a big deal around here, so we often base our monthly specials around them. Past hits have included viral chocolate-drizzled pancakes and Oreo pancakes that had people queuing out the door. The catch? These limited-time legends are only available for that month and won't be coming back. So, you gotta get 'em while you can!

From hearty options like our Big Boi Brekky (two bacon rashers, two fried eggs, cheese kransky, hash brown, house beans, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, and toasted sourdough) to fresh corn fritters (V, GFO) and our loaded Aussie Burg (GFO) with its unique Aussie twist, our menu has something for everyone. We believe in solid value and generous portions, ensuring you leave with a full belly and a happy heart. You can explore our full range of offerings on our food page.

Reason 2: A Welcoming Atmosphere for the Perfect Breakfast Experience

When I opened The Nines, my vision was to create a café that was bigger, bolder, and more fun: a place where everyone felt welcome. And let me tell you, our community has made that vision come alive. Our vibe is cozy, busy, and always fun, making us a great place for breakfast for any occasion.

A Community Feel That Keeps You Coming Back

We're not just a café. We're a local hub, a place where friends catch up, families make memories, and the community gathers over good food and damn good coffee. The Nines is all about good intentions and creating a space people actually want to be in. We're proud of the unique space we've built, and it's all thanks to the amazing customers who fill it with laughter and good vibes every single day.

Alfresco Dining and Dog-Friendly Vibes

One of the best parts about living on the Sunshine Coast is soaking up that glorious weather, right? Our outdoor seating area is the perfect spot to enjoy your breakfast with a side of sunshine. It's alfresco dining at its finest, letting you enjoy the coastal breeze while you sip your coffee.

And guess what? Your furry mates are more than welcome! We're proudly dog-friendly, so bring your pup along for the fun. We even have pup treats to keep them happy while you tuck into your Benny. Learn more about our pet-friendly space here.

Family-Friendly Fun

We know that dining out with the little ones can sometimes be a mission, but not at The Nines! We've made sure our café is super family-friendly, with a dedicated kids' menu that's designed to please even the pickiest eaters. From Bacon & Eggs (GFO) with one crispy bacon rasher, a happy fried egg, and a slice of sourdough with a hash brown, to Mini Pancakes (V) with two fluffy pancakes, vanilla ice cream, and maple syrup, the kids are sorted. We've also got Nuggets & Fries (six chicken nuggets, golden fries, and tomato sauce) and Fish & Chips (two pieces of fish, fries, and tomato sauce).

Our welcoming atmosphere means parents can relax, knowing their kids are happy and well-fed, making us a favourite spot for families in Maroochydore. You can find out more about our family offerings here.

Reason 3: Quality Coffee That Makes This a Great Place for Breakfast

Let's be real, a great place for breakfast isn't complete without damn good coffee. And at The Nines, we take our coffee seriously. We believe in serving up liquid gold that perks you up and perfectly complements your meal.

The Tim Adams Difference

We proudly pour the local Vintage Black blend by Tim Adams . Tim Adams Specialty Coffee is renowned for its quality and consistency, and we've chosen their blend because it perfectly aligns with our commitment to exceptional taste. Our baristas are skilled artisans, crafting every cup with precision and passion, ensuring that signature aroma and rich flavour in every sip. Even I can't resist. My go-to is an oat latte that I look forward to every single morning. You can read more about our approach to serving great coffee on the Sunshine Coast here.

Beyond the Brew: Unique Beverages

While our coffee is legendary, we're always experimenting and pushing the boundaries with our drink menu. We offer a wide range of beverages to suit every taste and mood. Our fresh juices are packed with vitamins and flavour, perfect for a refreshing start to your day. Craving something indulgent? Our thick, creamy milkshakes are a classic treat that never disappoints.

We're always coming up with new and exciting creative cold foam creations, adding a luxurious and playful twist to your iced lattes. Think Ube Taro Cold Foam or Iced Matcha Taro, unique flavours that hit different and keep our regulars coming back to see what's new.

And yep, you read that right: we offer beer after 10am . For those weekend warriors or anyone who believes brunch should be a celebration, a cold one just perfectly rounds out that epic feed. It's all about epic feeds, brunch vibes, and a little bit of fun. Find out more about our boozy brunch options here.

Our commitment to quality extends to every single drink we serve. Whether you're after a classic flat white, a vibrant smoothie, or one of our monthly special drinks, you can trust that it's made with care and the best ingredients.
