I'm Janice Kuz, owner of The Nines Emporium, and I've been in hospitality for over 20 years. I launched The Nines almost 10 years ago to create a cafe that was bigger, bolder, and way more fun, and it's been my baby, my hustle, and my happy place ever since.

This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about The Nines, from our food and drinks to the vibe and what real customers are saying.

More Than Just a Cafe: The Full Scoop on The Nines

The Nines Maroochydore opened in 2015 with a bold vision: to create a cafe that didn't play it safe. The Sunshine Coast had good cafes, but we wanted something bigger, bolder, and way more fun. We aimed to bring an energetic, street-cafe culture to the coast, blending it with the signature easy-going style of the region. The result is a space where you can dig into a loaded pancake stack and feel part of something special, without any pretension.

Our philosophy is simple: "we don't do boring." This means eggs benny reimagined three ways, pancake stacks that are practically art, and monthly specials that keep things exciting. It means pouring local Vintage Black coffee, getting creative with cold foams, and serving beer after 10am because brunch sometimes calls for it. We push boundaries just enough to surprise you while keeping our food approachable and delicious.

I've been in hospitality for over 20 years, and The Nines is where all that experience comes together. It's been my baby and my hustle since day one. We've grown into a local favourite thanks to our incredible customers and a team that genuinely cares.

We're always tweaking things and looking for ways to make the experience better, from new specials to fine-tuning a signature dish. We like to think we've helped raise the bar for the local cafe scene, and we're grateful for every person who walks through our doors. We want you to get the full experience, something that's truly dressed to the nines.
