Sunshine Coast's Best Coffee Shops and Cafe Neighborhoods 2026

Sunshine Coast Cafes and Coffee 2026

The Sunshine Coast has some of Queensland's best cafe culture, particularly in Noosa (which has Australia's highest cafe-per-capita in some blocks of Hastings Street), Mooloolaba's Esplanade and the hinterland villages of Maleny and Montville. Key venues: Noosa's Hastings Street is lined with excellent cafes (Cafe Le Monde, Thomas Corner, Locale) with stunning foreshore views; Mooloolaba's Mooloolah River cafes on the Esplanade; Buderim Village (high street village with excellent independent cafes); Maleny's Maple Street Creative Precinct has craft coffee and art gallery cafes in a cool-climate hinterland setting. The Sunshine Coast specialty coffee scene has matured with roasters including Long Story Short Coffee (Maroochydore) and Basecamp Coffee gaining strong reputations.
