Background Barista Mermaid Beach

Lovely service, even catered for special dietary needs. Very glad we found Background Barista

I’ve now put this cafe above all the other competitors in the vicinity due to the incredibly warm and welcoming service we got from the two ladies who worked mother’s day, yesterday and hopefully today I came in not long ago previously and the whole line waiting to order got an abrupt and rude welcoming from a clearly younger girl at the counter who also was there on mother’s day but these two staff who are usually there (for a reason) catered for my dietaries with only smiles and already learnt my coffee order within two days. Thanks for such great service Background. Makes the coffee taste 100x better than it already does.

On Monday, June 27th, we stopped by for some takeaway drinks at this restaurant. We always enjoy coming here because the staff at the front are very attentive and friendly. We were one of the first customers to arrive and placed our order for 2 coffees, 1 smoothie split into two, and a juice. The coffees were served quickly, but we had to wait for our smoothies and juices until after a family who ordered after us received their meals. It seemed like we were waiting a long time for the chef to prepare our drinks. The speed of service seems to vary depending on which chef is working, sometimes you get your order quickly, and other times you may have to wait for an hour. As regular customers, it's disappointing to experience such delays, especially when it's not even busy.

Just had a late brunch with friends. I couldn’t not believe how good the food is here not only the flavours and tastes but the level of detail is phenomenal and at a fair price. Thank you so much I had a lovely morning and I will be back.

This place is so Lovley! The food is Devine and so tasteful, similar to a standard brekky with a twist, with bombs of flavour. Would 100% recommend. You also leave feeling full and like you have Eaten a healthy meal! Staff are Lovley and the set up and atmosphere is nice.
