Why The Nines Is Maroochydore's Food Scene Game-Changer

Finding the best food Maroochydore has to offer isn't just about a decent feed – it's about finding a spot that gives a damn about flavour, value, and creating something memorable. The Sunshine Coast food scene has seriously levelled up, and we're proud to be part of the crew pushing the boundaries with creativity and presentation.

So, what makes great Maroochydore food? For us, it's about fresh local ingredients, generous portions, and not being afraid to try something different. Whether you're after a classic bacon and eggs or want to experiment with something like our taro cold foam, the best spots should deliver both comfort and surprise.

I'm Janice Kuz, owner of The Nines Emporium, and I've been slinging what we reckon is the best food Maroochydore has for almost 10 years. We've been helping raise the bar on what locals and visitors can expect from their café experience. From our famous Bacon Benny to monthly specials that go off, we've been part of changing this coast into a proper foodie destination. We're all about that big brekkie energy and serving up epic feeds that fill your belly and your camera roll.

What Makes The Nines the Best Food in Maroochydore?

After almost a decade of slinging the best food Maroochydore has to offer, we've learned what makes a café truly special. It’s not just about a quick bite; it’s about creating a place where every dish is flavour-packed and every visit feels like coming home. We set out to build something different on the Sunshine Coast—a place with big brekkie energy , where epic feeds deliver solid value without skimping on quality or creativity.

Our philosophy is simple: we don't do boring. Whether you're after a classic bacon and eggs or our taro cold foam creation, every meal should be memorable because we use real ingredients for real flavour.

Big Brekkie Energy: The Nines' All-Day Breakfast Hits

Let's talk about our all-day breakfast legends – the dishes that have people coming back day after day. Our signature Eggs Benny is where we really show off, and honestly, it's become a modern classic for good reason.

Picture this: perfectly poached eggs sitting pretty on your choice of crispy bacon that slaps, fresh avo, or smoked salmon, all topped with golden hollandaise that melts in your mouth. We've perfected this beauty over the years, and it's become the benchmark for what great Eggs Benny should be.

But we're not stopping there. Our pancake stacks loaded with the good stuff are proper showstoppers. Think fluffy, golden pancakes piled high with seasonal toppings that change with our creative whims – fresh berries, decadent sauces, and maybe even a cheeky sprinkle of something unexpected. They're designed to be Instagram-worthy but, more importantly, absolutely delicious.

The beauty of our all-day breakfast is that it doesn't matter if you're an early bird or prefer a leisurely late start – we've got you covered from 7am right through the day. It's about that full belly, happy heart feeling that sets the tone for whatever comes next.
