Our Top Picks: The Nines’ Must-Try Breakfast Dishes
At The Nines, we serve epic feeds packed with flavour. Breakfast is a mood, and our menu reflects the vibrant, Modern-Aussie spirit of the Sunshine Coast. From hearty classics to sweet treats and lighter options, we've got something for everyone. Come see why we're always buzzing!
The Classics That Hit Different: Signature Plates You’ll Crave
We take breakfast classics and make them next-level good. Our dishes are designed to fill your belly and your camera roll.
For a serious feed, the Big Boi Brekky has it all: two bacon rashers, two fried eggs, a cheese kransky, hash brown, house beans, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, and toasted sourdough. It’s an epic plate to fuel any Sunny Coast adventure.
Our Avo Toast is far from basic, with smashed avo on sourdough layered with roasted beetroot, house dukkah, poached eggs, and a caramelised balsamic glaze.
The Aussie Burg (GFO) is a breakfast statement: a beef brisket pattie with melty cheese, beetroot, a fried egg, grilled pineapple, lettuce, and our house tomato relish in a toasted milk bun, served with shoestring fries. It’s a flavour-packed feed that truly hits different.
The Benny Trilogy: Three Ways to Love Eggs Benedict
Eggs Benedict is the king of brunch, and our "Benny Trilogy" gives it the royal treatment. Each version comes with two poached eggs, spinach, avocado, a hash brown, and toasted sourdough.
- Eggs Benedict Bacon: The classic, done to perfection with crispy, salty bacon and rich hollandaise. Owner Janice says, "My go-to is the Bacon Benny with an oat latte. Trust me, it's a match made in brekky heaven."
- Eggs Benedict Smoked Salmon: A lighter, more luxurious option where delicate smoked salmon meets creamy hollandaise.
- Eggs Benedict Mushroom (V): An umami bomb for our veggie mates, featuring roasted garlic thyme mushrooms and a vibrant pesto hollandaise for a fresh twist.
Sweet Tooths, Assemble: Pancake & Waffle Magic
If you're craving something sweet, we've got your back with pancake and waffle creations that are pure magic.
Our Fluffy Pancake Stack is a modern classic, loaded with maple bacon bits, grilled banana, candied walnuts, vanilla ice cream, and maple syrup. It's the perfect sweet and salty combo. The Blueberry Waffle is another crowd-pleaser, with poached pears, zesty lemon curd, and meringue snow.
We also love keeping things fresh with monthly pancake specials. As owner Janice says, "We base our monthly specials around pancakes. If you see a wild new stack on our socials, it's probably something trending that our kitchen team has put their own fun, Nines spin on." Past hits include Oreo Pancakes and our take on the viral stuffed chocolate pancakes, so keep an eye on our socials for the next limited-time creation!
Fresh & Healthy Feeds: Top Vegetarian & Lighter Options
At The Nines, "healthy" never means "boring." Our vegetarian and lighter options are just as epic as our heartier feeds.
Our Corn Fritters (V) are a prime example: crispy house-made corn and zucchini fritters served with a poached egg, avocado and tomato salad, minted yoghurt dressing, and dukkah on a bed of rocket.
The Pumpkin Salad (V, GFO) is another vibrant choice, combining roasted pumpkin and beetroot with pearl couscous, fetta, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and a refreshing dill dressing. It's a nourishing, flavour-packed option for a lighter meal.
The Full Vibe: Coffee, Cold Sips & Family-Friendly Feels
It's not just about epic food; it's about the whole damn vibe. We've crafted an energetic, warm atmosphere inspired by the vibrant street cafe scene, but with our own Modern-Aussie twist.
We proudly pour the local Vintage Black blend by Tim Adams and get creative with cold sips like our legendary cold foams (think Ube Taro Cold Foam ), frappes, milkshakes, and fresh juices.
We're a place for everyone. Our alfresco area is dog-friendly and perfect for soaking up the Sunshine Coast weather. We also have a loyalty coffee card to reward our regulars. It's all about creating a space where good food, great coffee, and even better company come together.
