Amazing food, friendly staff, will go out of their way to see that they meet your needs. Coffee is the best in Kuranda, cheap as.

Nice little cafe tucked at the corner. Love the Sri Lankan cuisine served here, the Masoor Dahl was really well spiced giving it a really authentic South Asian taste. Rice and roti was done well. We also had tiramisu, soy cappuccino and an oat piccolo.

A really chill vibe, great guys running the show and the crocodile rice bowl was insanely good, so refreshing on a humid day. Positioned at the start of the main street as you walk up from the sky rail/railway station or last on the left as you go back, don't miss it. Thanks guys, you made my day with such good food. Veggie, vegan and GF friendly too

It was so nice to sit in a cafe in Kuranda that felt authentic and a little bit away from the tourist zone. While we waited for our food we spotted local butterflies and native birds. Everyone in my group ordered curries which were delicious and clearly made with care. It was a great gluten free option and a hearty meal! The staff were great, we got there late in the day (thankful for a cafe open after 3pm!) and we weren't made to rush at all. The name is a little bit confusing, is it Here's Good or Frogs on Coondoo? The menu has also been recently updated so some on maps aren't correct (fewer gf options than before).

Great café in the main street of Kuranda between the station and the city centre. Stopped for a refreshing mango smoothie which is absolutely one of the best I've had. Fresh local fruit with a richness in flavour you only get from a ripe mango. Got a bottle of ice cold water while waiting and a friendly chat with the lovely waitress Bailey who happily shared information about the area and what it's like to live in Kuranda. Will be back again in April, and I'm looking forward.

The crocodile rice bowl is great! Probably the best as well as healthiest meal in Kuranda. Bonus! They make a great sticky chai! Good coffee, too!

I was expecting to find myself swept into an average restaurant in a heavy tourist area, but based on the appetizing menu items I had to give it a shot. Boy was I surprised!! A menu to please all audiences, fast and friendly service and great beer and coffee to boot! We had a great experience and highly recommend stopping in for a bite to eat.

Dropped in for a mid afternoon snack before taking the nearby Skyrail back to Smithfield. Open air ambience with plenty of seating. Good choice of ice cream flavours which hit the spot. Cappuccino was just tight. Friendly and quick service. Reasonable prices.
