They really should open more -- I think they'd do quite well all over Australia. Made is not just another boring sandwich place. Their flavours are interesting and a little bit experimental, and their ingredients are very fresh. They have a variety of proteins on the menu, including two veggie burgers. They also have a few salads and a separate kids' menu. I had the Ah-Maizing Courgette, with a patty made out of potato, corn and zucchini, topped with pumpkin dahl and vegan lemon mayo. It sounds like a really weird combination of flavours but it was delicious! My parents had roast beef and chicken burgers and also found them quite nice. If you're vegan, just be aware that not all of their breads are vegan, so you have to ask. You also have to specify that you want the vegan lemon mayo instead of the regular mayo. Staff is of the young-and-confused variety, seemingly very undertrained, but maybe they were all just really new. They were definitely friendly even though they had to go and ask their manager a lot of questions. Prices are good, although when you add in sides it can get to be a bit pricey. Atmosphere-wise, the place is very trendy-looking with dark walls, a splashy mural and slick decor, but you're always still very much aware that you're inside a big touristy shopping mall. You can also sit outside in the sunshine if you want to people-watch. Definitely a good place to grab a quick but tasty lunch if you're in Maroochydore.

Whilst…read moreI'd found mediocre coffee along the strip it was time to get off the tourist trail and see what else was on offer. We didn't have to venture far to discover CK. Located on Brisbane road, CK is an organic health foods grocery store and cafe in one. It offers great coffee, food and all your healthy wholefoods. CK offers a cabinet bursting with 'healthy' yummy raw treats and good coffee. I love bonsoy but they also offer home made almond and cashew milk or coconut! Also an all day breakfast- winning!! On our first visit (yes, we loved the food and coffee so much we went back again and again) we went for the quinoa salad and super green smash. Both were deliciously good and filling. Today we went back for lunch and enjoyed the pancakes and open chicken sandwich. Followed by a raw bounty bar from the glass cabinet. Oh the bounty bar was sooooo coconutty and soooo good. Checking out all the other food coming out of the kitchen it looked fab too. Wish I was brave enough to try a beetroot or mermaid latte but you have to leave something to go back for

We…read morearen't vegetarian, especially my husband who will order a side of bacon with his bacon for breakfast, but no one was happier than him about the food here. Along with a beautifully put together menu, specialising in local fresh produce, there is a cabinet of house-made sweet treats - many of which are vegan and/or gluten free. The sweet potato brownie that I tried was a standout, especially with the avocado chocolate mousse topping. Vegetarians and vegans would love this place, as would those with food intolerances. The staff are super friendly, the vibe is laid back but passionate about their thing, and the coffee is really excellent. Not only will we be back next time we are anywhere near Caloundra, it's highly likely that we'll actually make a trip up from Brisbane just so that we can brunch here!

My disappointment with this place starts with the fact that they're closed on Sundays and on the…read morelast holiday I tried, leaving me to wonder when they think people go to the beach. Oddly this is not that uncommon in Australia, and it was not all that crowded here or anywhere else on the day I dropped in, and I do not get it. It's particularly a problem here as the area is not as flush with options as Brisbane or Gold Coast. Setting that aside, when I finally made it in, it was a small cafeteria-style place, a common mold around these parts. Ostensibly Indian, it has a diverse vegetarian menu (some dairy, but certainly vegan-friendly). The prices were not bad (if confusing) and the curries basic but tasty. I liked the selection, and ended up with a plate of two dissimilar dishes (noodles and paneer and pea curry), plenty of protein, and a full stomach. Palatable, but not great; I might well have taken them up on some of the chili flakes that lay out. Between that, the general lack of service, and the trouble in actually making it in, I've had better experiences elsewhere at places that aren't all vegetarian. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy there's a vegetarian place near the beach, and I may stop in again sometime, but I wasn't impressed on any level.

Tasty but simple vegetarian food in Maroochydore, tucked away in a little shopfront halfway between…read morethe beach and Sunshine Plaza. Most of the food is Indian-influenced -- curries and things -- but not all of it. You can choose combinations of rice with 1, 2, 3, or 4 things from the trays of pre-made foods on the counter, with the price going up accordingly, or you can pay a bit more for something more special, like the veggie-mince lasagna. Quite a few vegan options, with most things being vegan rather than not, and reasonably priced for the area. I choose rice + 2 options (noodles and dahl), and it was a strange but tasty mix. The dahl was super-spicy, and the Asian-influenced noodles were mildly spicy but not too bad. The dahl was kind of generic, something you can tell has been made to feed the masses, and the noodles had a nice Asian flavor but also didn't seem like anything wildly unique or special. They also have a display case of raw vegan treats and things like that. The atmosphere is super-cute. Nice simple decor, cosy space, and the type of Hare Krishna quotes on the wall that keep things intriguing without shoving ideology down your throat, ha! Nice relaxed vibe, and the guy behind the counter was super friendly and helpful. Wednesdays are vegan nights, which I presume means everything they make is 100% vegan. Definitely check it out if you're in the area and want some healthy vegetarian food for a nice change from all the greasy pub food and fine dining seafood places running all up and down the Sunshine Coast. Quite refreshing that there is a place like this in the area.

But there is a lot to be improved on, we went on a Thursday night, the place wasn't very busy and there were heaps of dirty tables and the staff seemed oblivious. We had to ask three times for water and honestly the young staff were very slow. The place has no atmosphere and the toilets were filthy. The reason I'm being so harsh is because I love the food here and this place has potential to be awesome but it's not quite there.

Went into this restaurant for dinner, expecting the same but i got the opposite. staff were on their phones, oblivious that there were tables stacked with dishes. (we had to clean our table off ourselves.) When we got our food, it was terrible. The staff forgot about the rest of the order. i waited for an employee to come round and asked him about the missing food. he said he'd go check. waited fifteen minutes nothing. Had to go to counter and ask about it, they had forgotten about the order and the guy who said he'd check on it, didn't pass it on to the other staff to start cooking. While waiting (again) for the rest of my order after i finished the part they gave me, an employee was staring at me. this lasted way longer than it should have or at all. hate to be harsh but, these kids don't deserve to be working this job until they learn how to respect the business and customers. the whole restaurant was run by three teens, there wasn't an adult in sight. these employees give this restaurant chain a terrible reputation. and that sucks to say because the brisbane store is great. there are a lot of people on the coast without jobs with a high work ethic, who would love to work at this store and would put 100x more effort into their work then these guys. if i could give 0 stars i would.

We booked online choosing a 7:45 table & arrived on time. We were greeted pleasantly & had option of tables. Place had been clearly busy earlier but was now quieter. We ordered drinks & meal which were perfectly acceptable, the lady in charge asked us if we had enough food & if we wanted anything further then be aware the kitchen would close in 20 minutes. All good we said, she advised if we wanted desert that would be no issue. Fast track to about 8:15pm - dinner finished, lady in charge left for night as did the kitchen team. We'd enjoyed the meal & fancied another drink. So using the app on the table we ordered drinks $25. As we did this around us the team left started packing up. Chairs were put up around us. There were others still in restaurant but they were on a mission. We sat a while & eventually we approached the bar - we ordered drinks?! We were accused on not & had to prove we had. The girl we approached was very accusational & clearly on a promise. When we showed her the transaction on our card she v begrudgingly conceded! She ripped the order disc off our table & plonked the drinks down when ready! Should point out it was 8:30 & restaurant was due to close at 9pm. So, trust me we won't be back! Shame as it's a nice little restaurant & acceptable but not outstanding food but service was appalling! Should never ever pack up & put chairs on table when clientele still dining! Why oh why?!

The ramen was rich and comforting, with a deep, savoury broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and generous toppings like soft-boiled egg, tender pork, and fresh greens. The sides were just as good -- crispy, light, and paired with a tasty dipping sauce that added a nice kick. Another standout was the curry-style dish, which was creamy, aromatic, and balanced nicely with fresh herbs and tender meat. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The only reason it's not a full 5 stars is that some dishes felt just a little on the pricey side, but the quality mostly justifies it. Overall, Rice Boi is a great spot for flavour-packed Asian-inspired food and is definitely worth a visit if you're on the Sunshine Coast.
