Your Alfresco Adventure Starts Here

Finding the perfect Maroochydore cafe with outdoor seating means finding that one spot where the sunshine hits just right, the food is damn good, and the coffee is always on point. Here on the Sunshine Coast, outdoor dining is a way of life, and we've created the ultimate space for you to soak it all in.

Whether you're after a laid-back brekkie spot, somewhere to catch up with mates over lunch, or a dog-friendly cafe where your furry companion is as welcome as you are, your search ends here. We've built our alfresco area to be your go-to for all those good-times-in-the-sunshine moments.

So, what makes our alfresco dining special? It's not just about having tables outside. At The Nines, we've perfected our own trifecta: food that's easy to enjoy in the fresh air , a relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to linger , and coffee that keeps you coming back.

From handheld heroes like our loaded Aussie Burg and fresh Fish Tacos to vibrant salads perfect for sunny days, the right outdoor menu makes all the difference. Add in some shade, good tunes, and staff who genuinely love a chat, and you've got the recipe for the perfect alfresco adventure.

I'm Janice Kuz, owner of The Nines Emporium, and I've spent over 20 years in hospitality perfecting what makes a Maroochydore cafe with outdoor seating truly special. From our shaded alfresco area to our menu designed for easy outdoor enjoyment, we've created a space where the Sunshine Coast lifestyle really shines.

Why The Nines Emporium is Maroochydore's Go-To for Outdoor Eats

Picture this: you're sitting under a shady umbrella, soaking up that gorgeous Sunshine Coast sunshine, with a damn good coffee in one hand and an epic feed in front of you. That's exactly what we've created at The Nines Emporium – the ultimate Maroochydore cafe with outdoor seating experience that blends a modern, street-cafe vibe with our laid-back local culture.

What makes us different? It's simple really. We're all about good intentions, great food, and solid value, wrapped up in a space that feels like an extension of your own backyard – except with full service and zero washing up. We believe alfresco is the best fresco, and every part of our outdoor area is designed for those perfect moments under the open sky.

The Vibe: Where Laid-Back Meets Lively

Step into our outdoor seating area and you'll instantly get it – this isn't just a few tables plonked outside. We've crafted a whole mood here. The modern-Aussie style hits that sweet spot between relaxed and lively, where you can properly kick back and soak up the Sunshine Coast energy.

Our umbrellas keep you perfectly shaded when the sun's really doing its thing, while good tunes play in the background – never too loud, just the right soundtrack for your catch-ups or solo chill time. It's always busy here, but we make sure it never feels rushed. Just buzzing with good vibes.

The real magic happens in the community feel we've fostered. Our team genuinely loves a chat, and we often remember your usual order – maybe even your furry mate's name! That's the Nines difference. After over 20 years in hospitality, our owner Janice designed this space to be welcoming and inclusive, a true hub where locals connect and everyone feels part of something special.

The Menu: Outdoor Feeds That Hit Different

At The Nines, we live by one rule: "we don't do boring." Our menu is packed with flavour-packed, feel-good food that's absolutely perfect for outdoor dining. Whether you're after a hearty start to the day or something fresh and light for lunch, we've got something that'll hit different.

Our handheld heroes are next-level good and perfect for munching alfresco. The Aussie Burg (GFO) is a modern classic that absolutely slaps – loaded with all the good stuff and designed to fill your belly and your camera roll. The Fish Taco brings fun, fresh vibes that are perfect for a sunny day, while our Meatball Sub delivers hearty, belly-filling satisfaction. And don't sleep on On A Roll (GFO) – it's a classic that's easy to eat and always a crowd-pleaser.

If you're leaning towards something fresh and light, our Roast Pumpkin Salad (V, GFO) is a local favourite that's vibrant, nourishing, and just what you need on a warm day. For those with Big Brekkie Energy , our Eggs Benny is a must-try – seriously, it absolutely slaps, especially when enjoyed under the open sky.

We're always experimenting with new dishes, and our monthly specials often go off – there's always something new and exciting to try. We also pride ourselves on offering diverse options including vegetarian and gluten-free choices, because everyone deserves damn good food.

For the Whole Crew: Dog-Friendly, Kid-Approved

We know your furry mates are family, and we're all about that community feel. Our outdoor seating area is totally dog-friendly, which means you don't have to leave your best mate at home. We've always got water bowls ready to keep them cool while you enjoy your coffee and eats. This dog-friendly policy is a core value for us, helping build that relaxed, welcoming community vibe we love so much.

Because we're all about family, we've got the little legends covered too with our dedicated kids' menu. Happy tummies make for happy families, so we've packed it with favourites like Bacon & Eggs (GFO) – one bacon rash, one fried egg, sourdough, and a hash brown, perfect for tiny brekkie lovers. The Mini Pancakes (V) are two fluffy pancakes with vanilla ice cream and maple that fill their belly and their camera roll! Nuggets & Fries delivers six chicken nuggets, fries, and tomato sauce – a classic for a reason. And our Fish & Chips features two fresh fish pieces with fries and tomato sauce.

So bring the whole crew – two-legged or four-legged – because at The Nines, everyone's welcome to soak up the good times.

The Brews: Coffee That Powers Up Your Day

What's outdoor dining without a damn good coffee to go with it? Our coffee offerings are a huge part of what makes the outdoor dining experience complete. We pour the local Vintage Black blend by Tim Adams – pure liquid gold that's rich, smooth, and exactly what powers up your day, whether you're kicking off the morning or needing an afternoon pick-me-up.

Our baristas are pros at crafting your perfect cup. We offer all the classics, of course, but we also love to get a bit cheeky with our specialty drinks. Our oat lattes are a hit, and we're always experimenting with new concoctions like colourful cold foams that look as good as they taste. And don't forget our cheeky milkshakes for when you want something extra special.
