The cafe is in a playground complex right on the esplanade,so it's so convenient.the place doesn't look really flash but has awards so I knew it must be ok,and I'm glad I tried it as the food was amazing!the burgers are great,huge and tasty,the chips were fresh and a big serve,will be going back again next week!
I love this place,went here a few times in the last few weeks,their beers are amazing,and their food is fantastic.we had nachos a few times that were amazing,and my partner had the "challenge" so called because its so hot,and he loved it.this pace is only known to locals and I sorta hope it stays that way because its awesome!also try the ice cream sandwiches!
Another great shop,coffee club always comes through with excellent coffee.the service here was impeccable,and the food was fantastic.we had calamari as an entree and it was so light and soft!also the mud cake was to die for!sitting outside is lovely too,watching the world go by in lovely cairns!
I love Gloria jeans,but was really pleased with this shop in cairns as I always get the tim tam crush,and they have the sprinkles sitting on the counter so you can help yourself,plus they have new chocolate sauce.the ladies were so helpful and the best thing is you can sit outside on the esplanade n watch the world go by!

Excellent club to join its free to join and the benefits are really good.you get one free movie for every ten you see,plus you get discount movies and offers to see movies early.one of the few clubs that you actually can see and use the points!
Approximate cost: $Free!
I really struggled with this review,I"d heard so much good ago
It this place,but when I went was disappointed.the restaurant itself is in a worn out looking complex,the inside looks a bit grubby too.the staff are lovely,the only redeeming quality of the place.the food was a mix of too strong flavours,and quite bland,nothing was particularly good or bad,it just wasn't good either way.for my partner and I for a basic meal with entree it was $75 and I wish I had of spent it elsewhere.

Had pizza here last week,amazing,the crust was perfect in size and taste and texture.the toppings were fabulous,fresh and lots of them,really tasty and full of flavour.close to the cinema in cairns,we grabbed pizza before going to movies which was really convenient.a great local business to support too.
Approximate cost: $24 pizza
I tried everything here with my partner,a pizza,pack of ribs for 2,and a ravioli...the pizza was great,as all properly made pizzas are,but the ribs were extremely dry,heaps of sauce in the container but not on the ribs.they were also a really funny taste to them,because the meat wasn't marinated in the sauce I guess..the ravioli was too salty and cheesy,I've made better which is saying alot.for the cost of it all,plus it tasted under average,I was really disappointed and won't be going back.i did try another pizza place which was great pizza and will try ribs there next time instead.

The BEST food I've had in years,I was blown away by this place!the shop is tiny,has a few seats outside,but what they didn't spend on decor they make up with excellent service and amazing food!the owners are the most lovely couple,so down to earth and friendly,they help constantly.their gorgeous son is always with them,having a toddler in their arms makes the place seem really homely and nice :) the food though,is the best!for only roughly $12 or under a meal,you can get a big plate with combos of noodle/pork/beef/and a salad,or a combo of spring rolls/rice and nuoc Cham sauce,to a beautiful fresh roll with pork and salads.the meat is delicious,the salads fresh,everything is delicious.its only open 5days as they only use 5days stock,which keeps everything so fresh and tasty!make sure you stop in here while you're in cairns,I will go back as long as they're open!!10/10!

Stayed here two weeks just gone,got a balcony room overlooking the pool for only $69 instead of the usual $155.for such a good price,it was really good value.my only gripe is the beds weren't a king as advertised,but are only two singles pushed together...so not the romantic time my partner and I envisioned with him on one bed and me on the other...staff are lovely,room service did a great job,pool is lovely and clean..BE AWARE though-shopping centre across the road(raintrees)is in an extremely bad neighbourhood,so please be careful!!i just shopped elsewhere n stayed safe.otherwise,a great stay and will go back!
