Ever rolled out of bed on a Sunshine Coast morning and thought, "I could do sad toast at home... or I could actually eat well"? Yeah, same. There's something about salty air and sunshine that makes you want a proper feed, not just fuel.

The thing is, not every cafe gets it. Some places serve boring eggs on boring bread and call it brunch. Others look picture-perfect on the 'gram but forget that food actually needs to taste good. Ya know?

That's where we come in. At The Nines Emporium, we've been doing breakfast our way since 2015, built on one simple philosophy: we don't do boring .

That means all-day breakfast that doesn't judge whether you're eating eggs at 7am or 2pm. It means a menu packed with modern classics that honour the OG favourites while adding our own twist. Think perfectly poached eggs with pesto hollandaise, fluffy pancake stacks loaded with maple bacon bits, and an Aussie Burg that'll make you rethink what breakfast can be.

Whether you're chasing the ultimate Benny, craving something sweet, or just need god-tier coffee to start your day, Maroochydore's got you sorted. And if you want the full experience, complete with cold foams, fresh juices, and yeah, beer after 10am, you know where to find us.

I'm Janice Kuz, owner of The Nines Emporium and a 20+ year hospitality veteran who's spent almost a decade perfecting the breakfast sunshine coast locals and visitors actually want to eat. Let me show you what makes a great coastal breakfast worth getting out of bed for.

When you're talking about the best breakfast Sunshine Coast has to offer, you're really talking about a whole vibe. It's that Maroochydore rhythm, salty air, sunny mornings, and the kind of hunger that turns "just a coffee" into "yep, we're doing a full spread."

At The Nines Emporium, we've been feeding that vibe since 2015. We're open 7am to 3pm, 7 days a week (kitchen closes at 2:30pm ), and our philosophy is simple: We Don't Do Boring . That's why our menu leans hard into classics done properly, plus a few cheeky twists that keep locals coming back.

You'll feel it the second you walk in. We're cosy, a little busy, and built for catch-ups that turn into long brunches. Weekends are walk-ins only , because that's how it rolls when a place is pumping.

If you're chasing a proper breakfast Sunshine Coast moment, start with what we're known for: the Benny Trilogy. Three Bennys, three different moods, same non-negotiables every time. Two perfectly poached eggs , house-made hollandaise, toasted sourdough, and that golden hash brown sitting there like it owns the plate.

• Bacon Benny: Crispy, golden bacon layered under perfectly poached eggs and a generous pour of hollandaise. Comfort food done right, with a satisfying crunch in every bite. Served with spinach, avocado, and a hash brown on toasted sourdough. Pair it with a smooth flat white for big brekkie energy.
• Smoked Salmon Benny: Delicate smoked salmon, silky poached eggs, and velvety hollandaise on toasted artisan bread. A rich, flavourful classic for those who love a touch of indulgence. Served with spinach, avocado, and a hash brown on toasted sourdough. Goes beautifully with a fresh juice to keep things bright.
• Mushroom Benny (V): Sautéed garlic thyme mushrooms, two poached eggs, and our creamy pesto hollandaise with a hash brown on toasted sourdough. Earthy, rich, and the one that converts "I'm not a mushroom person" people. Try it with an oat latte for a proper cosy combo.

Behind the scenes, the Benny magic is all about timing and consistency. Poached eggs don't forgive you if you're sloppy, and hollandaise doesn't care if you're having a busy morning. Our kitchen crew keeps it tight so you get that runny-yolk moment every time. It's the kind of craftsmanship that comes from doing this day in, day out for nearly a decade.

Some mornings call for savoury. Other mornings call for a stack that fills your belly and your camera roll.

Our Pancakes (V) are the regular that refuses to be basic: a fluffy pancake stack loaded with maple bacon bits , grilled banana , candied walnuts , vanilla ice cream , and maple syrup. Sweet, salty, warm, cold, crunchy, soft. It's a whole situation. Grab a dirty chai alongside, and you're set.

The Waffle (V) brings the fruity energy: blueberry poached pears on a house-made waffle, zesty lemon curd, blueberry compote, meringue snow, and vanilla ice cream. It's bright, messy in the best way, and always a good idea.

Now, the monthly specials. This is where we really let the team cook, literally. We keep an eye on what's trending online and listen to what you lot are craving, then our incredible kitchen crew and baristas take that spark and put their own creative twist on it. It's a way for them to express themselves and experiment with flavours that might even end up on the main menu one day. That's how you get limited-time bangers like Dubai Chocolate Pancakes , Oreo Pancakes , and Pancakes My Eyes (fluffy buttermilk stacks with strawberry compote, fresh strawberries, mini choc chips, and vanilla ice cream). The catch? They're only around for that month, then they're gone. No reruns. So if you see something that catches your eye, full-send it.

Bennys and sweet stacks get the glory, but our modern classics are the daily drivers. The ones that keep locals rolling in midweek, or swinging by after a big morning out.

• Corn Fritters (V): House-made corn and zucchini fritters with a poached egg, avo and tomato salad, minted yoghurt dressing, dukkah, and rocket. Fresh, crunchy, and properly satisfying.
• Aussie Burg (GFO): Beef brisket patty, melty cheese, beetroot, fried egg, grilled pineapple, lettuce, and house tomato relish on a toasted milk bun, plus shoestring fries. It's bold, messy, and absolutely not a dainty brunch.
• Roast Pumpkin Salad (V, GFO): Roasted pumpkin and beetroot, pearl couscous, feta, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and a dill dressing. Light-ish, but still full-belly friendly.
• Meatball Sub: House-made beef and pork meatballs, whipped feta, house pesto, Napoli sauce, torched mozzarella, onion jam, all packed into a toasted baguette. Big comfort, big flavour.

If you're choosing based on hunger levels, here's the quick cheat sheet:

Food's the main event, but coffee is the ride-or-die.

We pour local Tim Adams coffee , using their Vintage Black blend. It's smooth, it's reliable, and our baristas treat it like a craft, not a button-push. Whether you're a flat white purist or an iced coffee person, we see you.

And because we don't do boring, we get playful with drinks. Cold foams are a whole thing here. Think an iced taro latte crowned with lush ube foam. We're always experimenting with new creations, from milkshakes to frappes, and the flavours rotate so there's always something new to try. Add fresh juices when you want something bright and punchy.

Also yes, we do beer after 10am . It's brunch, you're on the Coast, and sometimes a cold one with your Benny just makes sense. Cocktails are coming soon too, so watch this space.

For the full sip situation, discover our coffee mood.

The Nines is for the whole crew. Kids, grandparents, and your dog who thinks they're the main character.

Our kids' menu keeps it simple and legit:

• Bacon & Eggs (GFO): One bacon rasher, one fried egg, a slice of sourdough, and a hash brown.
• Mini Pancakes (V): Two pancakes with vanilla ice cream and maple syrup.
• Nuggets & Fries: Six chicken nuggets with fries and tomato sauce.
• Fish & Chips: Two pieces of fish with fries and tomato sauce.

We're dog-friendly , with outdoor seating that's perfect for sunny Maroochydore mornings. The vibe is relaxed, the plates are generous, and no one's judging the sticky fingers at your table.
