Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? It depends on you. Some of us smash a Benny at 7 am, others wander in at 1 pm for pancakes and a flat white. At The Nines, we are here for your timing, not a rule book.

Since 2015, we have lived by one line, we do not do boring. That means big flavours, feel good feeds, and plates that are dressed to the nines, food that fills your belly and your camera roll.

• Not for everyone, skipping brekkie is fine if you eat well later

• Quality matters, fresh, house made touches and balanced plates hit different

I am Janice Kuz , owner of The Nines. I have 20 plus years in hospo and opened The Nines almost a decade ago to build something bigger, bolder, and more fun in Maroochydore. The name is a wink to being dressed to the nines, because presentation and personality matter to us as much as flavour. Let's dig in, shall we?

Here is a quick snapshot of the brekkie debate before we go deeper.

So, Is Breakfast the Most Important Meal at Sunshine Coast Breakfast Spots?

Alright, real talk. There is no one size fits all. At our Maroochydore spot, some locals cruise in post surf for a late Benny, others power up early with an On A Roll and a flat white. Eat when you are hungry, choose the good stuff, and enjoy it. That is the vibe.

Our philosophy at The Nines is simple, eat well when you are hungry, and make sure it is damn good food. That is why we run all day breakfast. Early bird or late riser, you are sorted. If you are craving something hearty at 1 pm, the Aussie Burg is calling, a beef brisket pattie, melty cheese, beetroot, fried egg, grilled pineapple, lettuce, and our house tomato relish on a toasted milk bun, with shoestring fries. Big, bold, messy, and very worth it.

The Science Bit: What Happens When You Eat (or Skip) Brekkie?

Ever wondered what flicks the switch in the morning? When you eat, you break the overnight fast, your body gets glucose for energy and your brain gets its favourite fuel. A balanced breakfast helps steady your mood and keeps that mid morning hanger at bay.

At The Nines, we keep it feel good without the slump. Our Avo Toast is a prime starter, smashed avo on toasted sourdough with roasted beetroot, our house dukkah, and perfectly poached eggs, finished with a balsamic drizzle. In the kitchen, we poach eggs to order for that runny yolk moment, and we whisk hollandaise in small batches so it stays silky from the first plate to the last.

Brekkie, Your Brain, and That Big Brekkie Energy

A good feed sharpens the mind and lifts the mood. Pair healthy fats with protein and you are laughing.

Mini FAQ

What should I order for focus?

Go with the Smoked Salmon Benny, omega 3 rich salmon, two poached eggs, spinach, avo, and that glossy hollandaise on toasted sourdough, plus a golden hash brown. It is clean, satisfying, and keeps you switched on.

Quick pre surf fuel?

On A Roll, that crispy fried egg, bacon, melty cheese, toasted bun, and yes, you can add a hash brown. Or grab our Corn Fritters, vegetarian, fresh, and full of flavour.

Coffee pairing for a big day?

Oat flat white with our Tim Adams Vintage Black. Smooth, balanced, and a real one for productivity.

Does Skipping Breakfast Affect How You Feel?

Sometimes you are simply not hungry, and that is fine. Skipping brekkie can mean a dip in energy or a cranky mood later, so when hunger hits, make it count. If you have waited a while, the Big Boi Brekky brings balance, two eggs, bacon, cheese kransky, hash brown, house beans, grilled tomato, mushrooms, and sourdough. Or lean into that late morning appetite with the Aussie Burg and a side of fries for the full send. Either way, eat for how you feel and we will meet you where you are.

Your Brekkie, Your Rules: How to Do It The Nines Way

What Makes a Damn Good Breakfast?

Balance is the move, protein for staying power, complex carbs for steady energy, and healthy fats for that satisfied, no crash feeling. Our Benny Trilogy is the poster child for that balance, and yes, we are a little obsessed.

• Eggs Benedict Bacon: Crispy bacon, two perfectly poached eggs, creamy hollandaise, fresh spinach, creamy avocado, and a golden hash brown on toasted sourdough. What is better than a Benny? A Benny with bacon that slaps.
• Eggs Benedict Smoked Salmon: Luscious smoked salmon, two perfectly poached eggs, silky hollandaise, fresh spinach, creamy avocado, and a crispy hash brown on toasted sourdough. Light, a little luxe, and very Sunshine Coast.
• Eggs Benedict Mushroom (V): Roasted garlic thyme mushrooms, two perfectly poached eggs, our pesto hollandaise, and a crispy hash brown on toasted sourdough. Earthy, vibrant, vegetarian, and damn good.

We poach every egg to order, we keep the hollandaise small batch so it stays velvety, and we plate it picture perfect because, well, dressed to the nines is not just a name, it is how we roll. The classic Eggs Benedict gets our signature twist with fresh local ingredients and that extra care that makes all the difference.

Pancakes are a big deal here. Our regular stack is fluffy and loaded, maple bacon bits, grilled banana, candied walnuts, vanilla ice cream, and a generous pour of maple. Monthly specials often riff on pancakes too, think Dubai Chocolate Pancakes, Oreo Pancakes, or Pancakes My Eyes with strawberry compote, fresh strawberries, mini choc chips, and vanilla ice cream. They are limited to the month and never repeated, so if you see one you love, do not sleep on it.

Here is the thing about breakfast at The Nines Emporium in Maroochydore, it is whatever you want, whenever you want it. We are open 7 am to 3 pm every day, the kitchen wraps 30 minutes before close, and weekends are walk ins only.
