Breakfast and Brunch Spots in Port Douglas

Let’s face it – breakfast and brunch are the tastiest, most exciting, and not to mention, the most insta-grammable meals of the day!

From drool-worthy bacon and egg burgers to fresh and fruity açai bowls, each of these menus are bound to have something that’ll tickle your fancy.

So, get those phones ready to get snapping, because these are the ultimate cafes to fill your belly each morning that you’re in Port Douglas. 


Cafe Fresq

Fresq has been a local’s favourite for many years and for great reason. This delightful diner is located on the corner of Grant Street and Macrossan Street – and it’s where you’ll find all things delicious! This is the only place to be when you’re craving a big breakfast and fresh juices – yes please.

You might love the corn and zucchini fritters, the full Irish breakfast, or the irresistible Caesar salad. You can’t forget about the top service and the noteworthy coffee! Come and see for yourself.


St Crispins

St Crispins is home to the iconic Bally Hooley steam train and now it’s also home to a sensational café. This is a wonderful place to dine not only for the scrumptious food but for the amazing Tropical North Queensland scenery. Order your favourite breaky or lunch while overlooking the Daintree Ranges and the Mirage Country Club golf course.

Here’s a taste of the incredible menu items at St Crispins; think salted caramel waffles, southern fried chicken burger, homemade potato rostis and smoothie bowls galore. Yum!


Grant St Kitchen

Are you the type to order a slice of cake with your coffee? If you answered yes, you’re probably also the type that forever has ‘room for dessert’ – which means that this bakery will be the one to make your heart skip a beat!

Grant St Kitchen is a haven for those with a sweet tooth, to say the least. Get your freshly baked almond croissants while they’re still warm, or stick to the savoury menu with a bacon and egg roll, or a spinach and ricotta pie! Simply yummy.


Choo Choos

You’ll find Choo Choos café at the Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina. This centrally located cafe is super convenient for the days you are wandering around Macrossan Street and decide to grab a tasty lunch. There are plenty of colourful meals to choose from that range from classics to signature dishes.

You have to try the divine ricotta pancakes, the signature BBQ pulled pork or the peking duck spring rolls. You’re safe selecting any Choo Choo’s meal, because they’re all divine!


 The Little Larder

This place has maintained its name for the best breakfast in Port Douglas for quite some time now, and it continues to receive positive reviews one after the next. It’s pretty hard not to love a cafe that’s adored by so many.

Here your breakfast might be sweet waffles, a killer eggs-benny, or a cured salmon baguette just to name a few. The Little Larder is tucked away amongst some stores on Macrossan Street, and it has fantastic outdoor seating if you’re craving some fresh air and sunshine.


Hi Tide 

Located right on the gorgeous Four Mile Beach forefront, Hi Tide is an incredible place to spend your morning in a spectacular seaside setting with plenty of divine food. Why not soak up that tropical air while you can?

The fun and flavoursome breaky selection includes Brioche French toast with passion fruit curd, curried cauliflower fritters, and a seared chorizo concoction served with hash browns. How tasty does that sound? I’ll take one of each!


Cafe Ziva

This crowd favourite on Macrossan Street is ideal if you’re all about a classic breakfast menu that still tastes delightful. You can’t go wrong when you start the day with a mouth-watering meal at Cafe Ziva, and the coffee is always top-notch, too.

The decadent 3 stack pancakes with banana, Nutella, and almonds are a popular choice, or you could try the tasty breakfast bruschetta or vegetarian omelette. That sounds like the perfect morning fuel.


Now that’s over, there would be no surprises if you were to say that you’re feeling a little hungry. Mmmmm… seriously, who doesn’t love breaky? We sure do!
