I feel like I'm in real Australia eating here. A funky, beachside cafe with great food and service. All baked goods made daily. Muffins already sold out when we arrived at 11:15 so we had a piece of banana bread. It was more like a banana pudfing with fruit piled high. I then had avocado smash with poached eggs. Avocado mixed with corn. So good. My husband enjoyed chicken crepes and our son had a wrap and a homemade smoothie. I also had a cup log single origin coffee. Very strong but o was warned. Just passing through so sadly won't be back. I love dining like the locals and this place definitely for the bill. read more

Fabulous choices, amazing food and friendly service, we are here for 5 days and plan to return again before we leave

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! read more

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! read more

This place is great to sit, talk, eat and have a coffee, but I wouldn't go if you're in a rush. The service was great, but maybe a bit slow/disorganised and was the only negative. The coffee and food is actually excellent! 10/10 Wouldn't change a thing. Not the cheapest breakfast/lunch, was ~$49 for two mains and drinks, but it's fantastic quality and the servings are a good size :) read more

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

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. read more

Awesome, funky little cafe. The food is delicious and the coffee is great. The staff are always friendly. Easily the best spot on the coast for breakfast or brunch! read more

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! read more

I had a lovely breakfast here. The Canadian crepes with bacon, banana, maple syrup and eggs. Really well cooked and presented and the cafe has a nice atmosphere. My pot of tea was served on a lovely silver tray too, which was a bit cute. It's a little out of the way ( near mooloolaba state school) compared to the cafes on the Esplanade but it's extremely busy. I sat at the communal table in the middle of the cafe and didn't feel like I was squashed in, even though it was packed. The menus are inside old books and there's lots of quirky little things to look at while enjoying your food. read more
