Sidewalk Cafe Restaurant & Bar

Authentic breakfast options paired with delicious coffee. Despite being crowded, the service was prompt.

This restaurant opens early to accommodate tradespeople, workers, and tourists. The menu is extensive with options for everyone. The coffee is robust and satisfying. The outdoor seating is dog-friendly, offering a great spot for people-watching on a bustling street corner.

Location is great and scenery is spectacular on a clear day. The servings are quite large and the coffee is really good. The service is fast considering that the place is nearly always full. Would definitely recommend this place, especially for breakfast. Dog Friendly.

We came for breakfast twice, before and after our sailing trip. It was very convenient that this cafe opened early enough for us to squeeze in a good brekkie before going onboard. Chia bowl, smashed avo and eggs benny were delicious. Portions were generous too!

What a great little cafe! The servings were big, nice little spot, the food was great, the staff were so friendly and kind! We’ve been on holiday for 2 weeks, in Airlie beach and surfers paradise and my partner said the thick shake he had here was the best one he has had so far! I witnessed a difficult customer carrying on about their avocado not being stacked on top of the toast and instead it was beside it and sent her meal back for it to be fixed and the boy with the braces and red hair was so polite and professional and still kept a smile on his face and went and fixed it up for her right away, even when she was quite rude about it. He served us our meals and he was great! The lady on the register was so lovely and cheerful, and there was another older man who served me when I went to get an orange juice and he was just as lovely and cheerful. I can’t rave high enough about the amazing customer service. I would 100% return not only for the food, but the people that work here and made our experience so delightful. We don’t get that as much in Victoria, and everyone here in Airlie beach seems so happy to be alive, it really makes the destination even better when everyone in customer service/hospitality/retail are like this. We walked away feeling really pleased with our experience at the sidewalk cafe.
