The Nines: Your Ultimate Outdoor Cafe Experience on the Sunshine Coast

At The Nines, we believe the best Sunshine Coast moments happen outdoors. That's why we've poured our hearts into creating an outdoor seating cafe experience that perfectly blends epic food, quality coffee, and that laid-back alfresco vibe you crave. It's not just about eating outside; it's about soaking up the energy of our community in a space designed for good times.

Soak Up the Sunshine and Good Vibes

There's nothing better than enjoying a meal with a side of fresh air and vitamin D. Our outdoor area provides a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a proper catch-up with mates or simply watching the world go by. The beautiful Queensland sun also works its magic on our food, with the natural light making every dish—from our towering pancake stacks to our vibrant salads—absolutely Instagram-worthy.

Our space is also proudly dog-friendly, so your furry mate can join the fun. It all adds to the community feel, connecting you to the local scene and the buzzing street energy that makes Maroochydore special. It's the ideal setting to enjoy a big brekkie or your daily caffeine fix.

A Space Designed for Comfort and Community

As Janice Kuz, owner of The Nines Emporium with over 20 years in hospitality, I've seen how outdoor seating cafe experiences create those memorable moments that keep customers coming back. We've designed our space to capture that perfect balance of comfort, community, and damn good food that makes alfresco dining so addictive.

We've focused on creating a welcoming environment where the good vibes flow as freely as the coffee. Our setup is all about ensuring you can relax and feel at home, making every visit a standout experience that captures the essence of the Sunshine Coast lifestyle.

Why Alfresco is the Best Fresco: The Nines' Outdoor Seating Vibe

There's something magical about combining epic food with fresh air and sunshine, and that's exactly what we've perfected at The Nines. Our outdoor seating cafe experience isn't just about eating outside – it's about creating those perfect Sunshine Coast moments where everything just clicks.

We've spent nearly a decade fine-tuning our outdoor vibe, making sure every visit feels like you're hanging out in the best backyard on the coast (except someone else does the cooking and washing up!). Our outdoor area flows seamlessly from our vibrant indoor space, designed for maximum comfort and serious good times.

Big Brekkie Energy in the Sunshine

Nothing beats tucking into a proper feed while soaking up those glorious rays. Our Eggs Benny that absolutely slaps becomes even more epic when you're enjoying it under the open sky – that golden yolk spilling over crispy bacon hits different when there's a gentle breeze and natural light making everything look Instagram-ready.

And let's talk about our pancake stacks that fill your belly and your camera roll . These towering beauties, piled high with fresh fruit and lashings of maple syrup, are pure indulgence that tastes even better alfresco. The natural light makes those vibrant colours pop, creating food porn without even trying.

For those keeping it fresh, our roast pumpkin salad is a flavour-packed option that's perfect for outdoor dining. Plus, we're always whipping up new creations with our monthly specials – they go off their tits and taste even better when you're breathing in that fresh Sunshine Coast air.

The Perfect Brew for Your Outdoor Crew

What's an epic outdoor feed without the perfect coffee to match? We proudly pour Vintage Black by Tim Adams , a local legend that delivers damn good coffee every single time. Whether you're an oat latte enthusiast or keen to try our latest cold foams , every cup tastes better when you're settled into our comfy outdoor seats.

Picture this: you're cradled in one of our outdoor spots, the Sunshine Coast breeze doing its thing, and you've got a perfectly crafted latte in hand. That's when the magic happens – sipping and people-watching while the world goes by at the perfect pace.

On those warmer days, our smoothies and milkshakes are absolute crowd-pleasers. There's something about sipping something cool and refreshing in our outdoor space that just makes sense. We've got something for every thirst, all designed to be savoured in the sunshine.

Designing the Ultimate Outdoor Cafe Experience

Creating the perfect outdoor cafe vibe isn't just about chucking some tables outside – it's proper art, and we reckon we've nailed it. Our outdoor area brings together all the elements that matter: comfy seating that you actually want to linger in, good tunes that add to the atmosphere without drowning out conversation, and friendly staff who keep the good vibes flowing.

We've got plenty of umbrellas for shade because even us sun-lovers need a break sometimes. The ambiance we've created feels like an extension of your own space – relaxed, welcoming, and somewhere you never want to leave.

The whole setup captures that busy, fun-ass vibe we're known for. It's about feeling connected to the energy of the Sunshine Coast while still having your own little slice of paradise. Whether you're after a quiet coffee moment or want to be part of the buzzing cafe scene, our outdoor space delivers exactly what you need.

Your Go-To Spot for Sunshine and Good Times

Look, we could tell you all day about our epic feeds and damn good coffee, but The Nines is about so much more than what hits your plate. We're talking about a proper community hub where everyone feels like they belong – where your outdoor seating cafe experience becomes part of something bigger. Our outdoor area isn't just tables and chairs; it's where connections happen, where laughter echoes across the Sunshine Coast breeze, and where every single visit feels like catching up with old mates.

Since opening nearly a decade ago, we've poured our hearts into creating a space that's bigger, bolder, and way more fun than your average cafe. Our outdoor seating embodies everything we stand for – good intentions, solid value, and that buzzing energy that makes people want to stick around. Whether you're flying solo with a book and a latte, catching up with your crew over pancake stacks, or just need somewhere to decompress after a big week, our outdoor area delivers that perfect Sunshine Coast vibe every single time.

Bringing Your Furry Mates Along

Here's something that gets us properly excited – our outdoor seating cafe is totally dog-friendly! We reckon your furry mates are part of the family, so why should they miss out on the fun? There's honestly nothing better than watching a happy pup chill out under the table while their human demolishes a Bacon Benny in the sunshine.

We've got water bowls ready and waiting because looking after your four-legged crew is just what good mates do. Our outdoor space comes alive when the dogs rock up – tails wagging, making new friends (both human and canine), and adding to that relaxed community feel we're absolutely mad about. It's bloody beautiful watching connections form right here on our patio, whether it's two pups having a sniff-fest or their humans striking up conversations over coffee.

This isn't just some gimmick – it's a reflection of our core values and that fun-ass workplace energy we've built. We genuinely believe that creating an inclusive space where everyone (including your best mate with four legs) feels welcome is what helps raise the bar for the local cafe scene. So next time you're heading out for your coffee fix, don't leave your furry companion at home – bring 'em along to soak up the good times with the rest of us!

More Than Just a Meal: The Nines Vibe

At The Nines, we're not just slinging food and coffee – we're serving up a whole bloody experience. Those good intentions we bang on about? They're baked into everything we do, from sourcing quality ingredients to making sure our team genuinely gives a damn about your day. We've created what we like to call a fun-ass workplace , and that energy absolutely spills over into every interaction you'll have with us.

You'll feel it the moment you settle into our outdoor seating – that buzzing, friendly atmosphere where everyone's having a proper good time. We know our regulars by name (and usually their usual order too), but we're just as pumped to see new faces finding what we're all about. Whether you're after a quick takeaway coffee or want to settle in for a long, lazy brunch session, we're a walk-ins welcome kind of place because keeping things accessible and unpretentious is what we're about.

Our outdoor area perfectly captures this vibrant energy – it's where you can feel the pulse of the Sunshine Coast, hear the chatter of happy customers, and truly immerse yourself in the local scene. We've watched the demand for outdoor dining absolutely explode, and we're chuffed to offer a comfortable, inviting spot that delivers on our promise of a customer experience that goes off . This busy, welcoming atmosphere isn't an accident – it's the result of nearly a decade of constantly tweaking things, driven by our desire to grow and always do better.
