Coast Roast

Coast Roast is a busy neighbourhood cafe inside Cairns Central Shopping Centre at 21 Spence Street, Cairns City. The cafe opens early every day of the week and serves coffee, cooked breakfast and a full counter of cafe food to shoppers, city workers and visitors exploring Cairns.

The counter pours coffee all day alongside a menu of panini, bagels, scones, croissants, muffins, cakes and tarts, plus hot breakfast plates such as eggs, bacon, toast, tomato and hash browns. Fast service and generous, good quality portions have made Coast Roast a regular stop for locals grabbing a flat white before work and for travellers refuelling before a day on the Reef or the Esplanade. Online ordering is available for anyone who would rather skip the queue and collect their order on the way through the centre.

Coast Roast sits in an air conditioned corner of the shopping centre, seated close to the food court and just an easy walk from the Cairns Esplanade, Cairns Aquarium and the Cairns Railway Station, which makes it a convenient meeting point whether you are dining in, ordering takeaway or grabbing a quick coffee between errands. The shopping centre location also means parking, public transport and a full day of shopping are all within a short stroll of the table.

The menu keeps things simple rather than fussy: reliable coffee, familiar cafe staples and breakfast plates sized for a proper start to the day, all served quickly enough to suit a lunch break or a school holiday outing with the family. Regulars come back for the consistency of the coffee and the friendliness of the counter staff as much as for the food itself.

With early opening hours seven days a week, a second Coast Roast location elsewhere in Cairns, and a menu built around simple, well made cafe classics, this Cairns Central cafe is a dependable choice for breakfast, brunch or a mid morning coffee in the heart of Cairns City.
