Why The Nines Experience is About More Than Just the Brew

Coffee Sunshine Coast - Coffee Sunshine Coast

Looking for the best coffee the Sunshine Coast has to offer? Here's what locals know - it's not just about the coffee (though ours hits the spot every time). The top spots combine quality brews with epic feeds, vibrant vibes, and genuine service that keeps you coming back.

The Nines Experience Checklist:

  • Quality Coffee: Local roasts like Vintage Black blend
  • Epic Food Menu: From fluffy pancakes to loaded burgers
  • All-Day Options: Breakfast legends through to hearty lunch bites
  • Vibrant Atmosphere: Fun, welcoming spaces with personality
  • Value: Generous portions that won't break the bank

The Sunshine Coast café scene has evolved way beyond your basic flat white and toast combo. The best spots now serve up experiences that fuel your whole day - whether you're chasing that perfect morning latte, diving into a stack of maple bacon pancakes, or settling in for a hearty lunch with mates.

At The Nines, we've been shaking up the local scene for almost 10 years, proving that great coffee is just the starting point. I'm Janice Kuz, and after slinging Coffee Sunshine Coast favourites for over 20 years, I knew we needed something bigger, bolder, and way more fun. That's why we pair our Tim Adams Vintage Black blend with everything from our legendary Bacon Benny to those Instagram-worthy waffle stacks, delivering the vibrant, flavour-packed spot the Coast was missing.

Our Damn Good Brew: The Heart of The Nines

Our coffee game is strong, and that's where it all begins. We pour a local Vintage Black blend by Tim Adams , a roaster who's made waves on the Coast for consistently delivering freshness and flavour. Whether you're after a smooth espresso , a creamy latte , or our go-to oat latte that just hits different, you're getting a consistently brilliant cup every time.

But we're not just about the bean, ya know? We've got a full line-up of sippers for every taste. Not feeling coffee today? No worries - our matcha lattes , chai lattes , and turmeric lattes are packed with flavour and warmth. Keep an eye out for our monthly cold foam specials —think iced taro lattes crowned with lush ube foam. These limited-time creations go off their tits and are never repeated, so there's always something fresh to try. You can check out our full range on our drinks menu.

Epic Brekkies to Fuel Your Day

What's better than a damn good coffee? A damn good coffee paired with epic feeds that fill your belly and your camera roll! Our menu is stacked with brekky legends designed to fuel your day properly.

Got a sweet tooth ? Dive into our fluffy pancakes stacked high with maple bacon bits , grilled banana, and ice cream. Or try our house-made waffles topped with blueberry poached pears and lemon curd. Our secret to the perfect waffle? We make our batter fresh daily and let it rest, a little chef's tip that guarantees they're fluffy on the inside and perfectly crisp on the outside.

If you're after something more substantial, The Big Boi Brekky has all the classics, while our Avo Toast brings fresh, colourful vibes. Our corn fritters are absolute winners that locals keep coming back for.

All-Day Bites: Not Just for Mornings

We're not just about mornings, though. When those lunchtime cravings hit, our menu keeps delivering the goods. A top-tier Coffee Sunshine Coast spot should fuel your whole day, and that's exactly what we do.

Sink your teeth into our Aussie Burg , loaded with a brisket pattie , beetroot, pineapple, and a fried egg—it's an epic feed that's next-level good. Or grab our meatball sub with mozzarella and onion jam for ultimate comfort food vibes.

For those wanting something on the fresher side, our pumpkin salad brings a zesty kick, and the fish tacos are a modern classic. We bake most of our food and baked goods from scratch, so you know you're getting quality and flavour in every bite. Check out all our delicious options on our food menu.
