    Dog donut from the dogue menu
    Lani P.

    Guys, there's a menu for dogs. Let's forget that it's a cafe for humans for just a tic. There's. A. Dog. Menu. And you better believe that I turned into one of *those* dog people and ordered my canine a doggy donut and a puppy latte (with shaved liver treat on top). He lapped it up faster than you could snap a photo for social validation on Instagram. But sincerely, that menu had nothing to do with our choice to stop at Velo Project on our way to the beach this past weekend. In fact, what led us to discover they had a dog menu in the first place was a quick Google en-route to make sure they were even dog friendly. TICK! As we drove through the residential streets of Mooloolaba, I was for a moment concerned I'd led us on a goose chase. This happens often with my partner asking, "Can't we just pick somewhere and not be always looking for this spot you saw on Yelp / Instagram / The Internets?!" He's a patient man because he knows 9 times out of 10, the goose chase pays off. The Velo Project is located in a suburban street, so don't be alarmed when your GPS starts leading you on a tour of Moolooaba's residential housing lots. For us mere humans, the Velo Project runs an all day breakfast menu and a tidy lunch menu. The menu, pasted into old books, has something for everyone with the majority of items leaning towards organic and health-focused options. Being past lunch we both opted for the lamb burger with beetroot relish. Easy to eat in one hand, this burger hits the sides of your stomach and leaves you letting our a sigh of contentment. We've already proclaimed this the stop of choice when travelling to the Coolum dog beach. Here's to many more puppy lattes and next time a cold drip for me!

    Sunday morning, 9am, not the time of day I'd prefer to head out to a new place for breakfast. Firstly, because I'm starving by then but also because surely everywhere is overflowing and the wait will be long. But not this time, seated straight away and water with lemon brought over. The Velo Project is tucked away in a back street but is a treat. The interior is rustic with mismatched chairs and tables and antiques hung on the walls, the coffee is delicious and the menu full of delicious sounding food (also the menu is inside an old history textbook which I loved). I had the cold drip which was strong, sweet and just right for a hot summer morning and avocado on toast. Friends I was with had a chai latte - very good I'm told- and a berry smoothing -amazing, was the verdict- and they were pretty happy that I decided to try somewhere new. I'm now in charge of picking all the time apparently!

    Great patio! Food was excellent. Their smashed avocado was delicious! My brekkie mates loved their crepes and toast.

    Lovely little neighborhood restaurant. The decor was so quaint and homey. Complete with mismatched chairs and vintage tables, this reminded me of a farmhouse. Old knick knacks like games, books, jars, etc makes me want to hang out. Menus were presented in an old book. Menu items were inventive and fresh!! We tried 2 of their refreshing blended juices. Portions were humongous! I think we could have shared but I wanted to try everything! Unfortunately because we were traveling I had a lot of leftovers I couldn't take home. I would suggest you share several plates if it's a larger party. If it's two people, probably share the hunters breakfast and a juice. Sourdough bread that came with the avocado breakfast was so delicious! Not a typical breakfast place. Wanted to come here every day! It would be a cute date place for dinner, but too bad they close after lunch.

    Great food! Best breakfast in Mooloolaba. Super friendly wait staff. Highly recommend. So good we went back for breakfast the next day. We had two different crepes and they were AMAZING! Prosciutto with artichoke hearts, and salmon with fennel. Can't say enough good things about this place!

    This was a wholly delightful experience with eclectic ambiance, delicious food and friendly service. The music and decor add to the homey and hipster atmosphere and aid the brunch experience. The board games on each table are a quirky touch too! The food was outstanding and one could taste the attention to detail the chefs had obviously included alongside their passion. Coffee was an absolute delight served in vintage cups and saucers. Rich flavours and earthy timbres. Thanks for a great experience!

    We had the crepes and the smashed avo amazing! We didn't even get a chance to take a photo of the smashed avo it was that good!

    An addition to the deli/ providore next door. The kind of joint with paired back, minimal decor -…read moreeclectic mix of furniture; staffed by lithe young things embarrassing us older types with their perfect, bronzed, beach-ready bodies. The menu, though limited, showcases some of the excellent products available next door. Coffee is well made, using organic fair-trade beans from nearby Maleny, likewise milk is from the independently owned Maleny dairies. They walk the walk, supporting other local businesses, as they themselves are locally owned. Smashed avocado on organic sourdough, comes with a wedge of lemon and small offering of Feta; Sonoma toasted muesli a perfect kick-starter, adorned with blueberries, strawberries, grated apple and chopped mint. A great breakfast and lunch option.

    Coming from the brunch snobbery of Melbourne, I'd have to say this place is up there with the best…read moreof them. A lovely eclectic setting, airy and light-filled with nice beach-side vibe music (fat Freddie's/john Butler etc) and enough healthy smoothies on the menu to entice a range of hippies, hipsters and gym bunnies, I'd say they've got their clientele covered. Food was big and delicious - I had the field mushrooms (this is a massive meal folks, don't be fooled by the fact there's no meat in it that your stomach may not be sufficiently filled!). Boy had the chicken Turkish sandwich - equally massive/delicious and well worth the $16. We walked away well caffeinated and properly full, I would totally recommend this place!
