It must be family owned because they take orders with a smile and actually run back to the counter after delivering the order. Let's talk about the food - I ordered what I usually get, the Pad Kei Mao and it was amazing. It had the perfect amount of every fresh veggie plus the protein, beef in my case, was grade A and cooked to perfection. Good wine selection. The price is perfect too. Highly recommend.

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!

The Short: Great breakfast at an affordable price…read more The Long: I got a take-away coffee from this business yesterday and it was fantastic. Based on this, we decided to avoid trying one of the cursed Rumba Resort Restaurants of doom below us and head a block away for something a little more genuine. We weren't disappointed with Chilli Jam Cafe. On the order today was the Big Breakfast ($12.95) with a substitution of extra mushies for beans (no extra charge), John's Breakfast ($9.95) with a substitution of avocado for tomato, Fresh Orange Juice ($6), and some coffees. The Big Brekky is a measure I use to judge a cafe. I was really wanting to try the Lambs Fry brekky (which is apparently something customers come in specially for), but I was gagging for some eggy action for brekky, and had to go Big. The poached eggs were a little on the underdone side, but that just means you can smash your toast into them and get that flavour going. The sausage was a pork and herb offering, and it was not one of those fine paste meat varieties: it actually had some really nice texture to it. Next time I would substitute another one of these in and opt out of something else next time, because you can never get enough sausage. ;) John's Brekky was a smaller version of the Big Brekky, but was most definitely plentiful and delicious. My wife opted for Scrambled Eggs (because she can't stand "snotty" eggs in general), and was pleased with her choice: they were well cooked and seasoned. The avocado substituted in was fresh, and was a lovely accompaniment spread on the toast. We both opted for multigrain bread which was slathered in butter and was delicious on it's own. But when you mashed it around into the various offerings on the plate, it was even better. The Fresh OJ was served in a Mason Jar, and was pretty big for $6. I could have easily done another. It's really tempting to come back here again for lunch, because the lure of the specials board really did read well. You can also do this thing were you pre-order your lunch for the next day and get a discount for doing so.

Pretty well. They had a buffet just about going, but I didn't want to wait to them to set it up, and I ended up with a chickpea curry, rice, and bread. There was a little extra zest to that chickpea curry that might have been some Mexican spice, and it was pretty darn filling. The cheese and spinach naan I got was less impressive, fairly bland and only really good dipped in curry. Getting a rice and a bread wouldn't usually be necessary (I was hungry); note that you do have to order rice separately from the main course. I'd order differently next time, but I would go back for a next time.
