Inside there are little nooks and crannies to sit in so you can have your own space. Food choice was extensive, I had the frittata with salad, it was so good, fresh, seasoned perfectly. Ended up staying for dessert : Banana, ginger and lime cake was heavenly if you are in the area go here, you won't be disappointed!

Brilliant place. We…read morehad the goat cheese appetizer with smoked bread. It was a robust start to an amazing meal. The burger has a pumpkin sauce that was amazing. It was so unexpectedly wonderful that my wife and I bragged about it to others later in the evening. I can remember the tremendous flavor right now a day later. My daughter had the sliders that were also quite wonderful. The double IPA was exactly what you'd expect from a top notch brewery. We finished with a double expression that was a little bitter but robust. Excellent food and environment. We will go there again.

It's a newsagent and grocery store, that sells really good coffee. Easy to find as it's on the shopping strip in front of Coolum Beach. Walk up and order coffee - great pastries and nibbles on offer, varies daily - I am partial to the cinnamon muffin ( more a cro-nut). The Long Black was great - hit the mark after early morning walks on the beach. Don't go too fancy as the almond cappuccino was OK, but the basics excel. Really nice sitting area outside to enjoy coffee / snack - snuck in pic of a frill li All manner of things for sale - fruit, some vegetables, milk, dairy (lots of vegan & non dairy) food, laundry, cleaning - like a little super-market. Luv the coffee.

A chocolate store and cafe that has somehow evaded my notice, they had a few nice breakfast items…read more I've grown rather used to complex (and pricey) Australian waffle dishes, but this one was just a waffle with chocolate sauce and ice cream. Having been offered the choice of milk or dark, I was quite gratified to have chosen the latter, as the waffle itself was quite sweet and contrasted well with the thick, rich sauce. I added a smoothie that tasted rather more like yogurt than banana (of its two main ingredients); the value of this is left to the reader but at least I was quite well nourished. Having not yet tried the hard chocolates, I suspect they might be worth a go.

I absolutely love chocolate, but I'm rather impartial towards Sweet Tempered Chocolateria. It's a…read morepleasantly small shop with some seating inside and a register in the middle. Employees were kinda-almost mildly friendly. Some chocolates were priced by kg, and some were priced per piece ($4 per). Plenty of choices in terms of sweets including turkish delights but limited coffee and food choices written on the board. The lady at the counter recommended the triple chocolate brownie for $4. Within the minute, a small plate was in front of us garnished with chocolate specks and whipped cream. The brownie was crumbly, on the lighter side, and a little dry but the reason for my rating is more so because of a personal bias as I prefer them to be moist, chewy, and rich. It's incredibly easy to satisfy my sweets cravings, but this brownie just didn't quite hit the spot as there was nothing phenomenal about its taste nor its consistency to write about. But if you're in need of a quick fix for your sweet tooth, Sweet Tempered Chocolateria isn't a bad choice.

This darling health food co-op on Maleny's main street is full of all the bits and bobs you'd ever need to lead a more wholesome dietary existence - lentils, flaxseed oil, organic everything, more gluten free ranges than I could wrap my head around, natural cosmetics and more. Perhaps it was the mountain air that made this place feel better than any other co-op I'd visited. It was so relaxed and not pretentious like some health food outlets. If you're into wholesome food be prepared to walk out of here with your bags full - it's like being a lolly-loving kid in a candy store.

It is not like a sterile shopping centre shop where straight rows of 10 ft high shelves are laid out and some computer program used to place and shape each item into the most highly profitable place and space.

I didn't want it to end, so I bought another one. It would have been better for my pocket to have bought two scoops for $6.40, as one scoop was $4.40. But, I didn't know it was going to be this good. And on a waffle cone, it made my day. The customer service is superb. They are so friendly and welcoming. They also sell all sorts of cheeses if you're interested. A beautiful café in a small town.

There are plenty of dairy-free flavors, despite Maleny's notoriety for dairy farming. Besides gelato, the place does also offer a cafe menu and various jarred food items for sale, but I suspect most people will be looking first for the fresh mountain ice cream, and it does taste as creamy as one might hope.
