Bellakai

The best maple bacon eggs Benedict ever!!! Coffee is fabulous and so is the service. With views to Cooly beach and watching the water glisten while enjoying excellent food. Will come back to Bellakai for sure!

Sterling Saturday brunch. Compelling menu, great tasting food, excellent value and gentle down-to-earth service that was super attentive without being pushy. Three staff seamlessly served us, carving out a calm zone as if they weren’t even busy although they were at capacity. Can’t imagine why you wouldn’t enjoy eating here, and it might even lift your mood if you need it!

Quick stop in on a Monday morning for breakfast and we both had the fabulous Breaky Roll plus a cappuccino. Terrific spot on the main road, plenty of parking either side of the road and right across from the beach! ⛱️ Shady seating outside plus there's also inside, very attentive servers who will take your order from your table and then you pay at the counter once you have finished your meal. We'll be back next visit!

My family turned up for breakfast 9 of us. Where made feel welcome with a table to fit us in at short notice. The meals were absolutely amazing and well priced. The staff were all very friendly and the atmosphere was family oriented. Would highly recommended having breakfast/brunch at a fabulous place.

You will find it hard to get better coffee anywhere on the Goldie. It’s the thing we miss when we go out of town. Foods fantastic and the service is top notch. The owner operators do a fantastic job of bringing the young workers of tomorrow into the workforce. Such a great place to drop in and start my day. And don’t get me started on the view. FANTASTIC all round well done Bellakai.

The atmosphere is fantastic! Your coffee is absolutely top-notch. The staff provide service at a 5-star hotel level. From the moment you arrive, they warmly welcome you, ask for your drink preferences right away, and make sure to check in with every table to ensure everything is perfect. Special mention to Olivia, who communicates exceptionally well—truly outstanding service!

Amazing food, awesome staff, and great location opposite the beach. Haven’t had a bad meal and the coffee is beautiful. Highly recommend for breakfast or brunch!

Had breakfast here 2 days in a row. Good coffee, great food. Given prices everywhere else nowadays, pretty reasonable here. The Bellakai breakfast was huge for me. Lasted me till dinner. The Savoury mince was lighter but still good. I added mushies (cos I like 'em). Took away the Cruffin for a snack. Staff is attentive and pleasant, especially Sarah and Sophia. Felt like a queen, with them checking to make sure I was OK, that I am happy food and drink. Highly recommended.

I've come back to update my review and increase the rating from 4 to 5 stars. I know this is a big call but I have to say that this place simply has the best service I've ever experienced. A special shout out to Bec, Anna, Nina and Luke who made our holiday a better experience, simply through excellent customer service. Bellakai is my benchmark of the customer experience.

The manageress (or owner) was very welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was great, especially the seafood omelette. Coffee OK. The disappointing thing was that the waitresses were way to quick to remove our plates and cups, before others had finished their meal (giving us the "hurry up" signal) and even reached to grab my mother-in-law's plate while she was still eating. Also went to take away coffee cups before we'd finished. It was such a contrast to the host mentality of the manageress. We know that it wasn't deliberate to get rid of us, as they provided papers. We would return as the food is very good and the location great, but I'd want to ask the waitresses to let us all finish in our own time. I'm so old school.

What's important when breakfast dining? Everything! You'll enjoy it ALL here! The View, THE MUFFIN, the friendly service...next time I'm looking forward to a green machine smoothie - yum!

Bellakai cafe sits opposite the beach strip with both outdoor and indoor seating. An amazing breakfast menu to start the day.

Ate here for breakfast. The view is nice and the wait staff were very welcoming. BUT, we waited over 45 minutes after ordering to get our food. And once we got it, the food was cold and nearly stale. We also paid a pretty penny for it. There are better places to eat nearby. I wouldn't waste my time or money.

Me and my family visit Bellakai each year as a birthday tradition. Service is great, coffee is better and the menu, simply delicious. Thank you Bellakai for being such a treat!!

AMAZING SERVICE! our waiter was very attentive. The food was great but very overpriced for what it was. $25 for fish and chips?? No thanks!! There are many reasonably priced places nearby.

On previous trips to Coolangatta we very impressed with the food and service at this establishment.This time however, things are not quite the same. My first trip back was for breakfast, my choice was Eggs Benedict,I chose bacon as a side.The eggs and hollandaise were very good however the bacon was cold and greasy and the toast was cold and soggy, a disappointment. Thinking this was a one off bad day we gave them another chance for breakfast the following day.My wife chose muesli with fresh berries and was very impressed.I chose simple bacon and eggs on toast. Once again the bacon was greasy and cold and the toast wasn't toast. What was supposed to be toast was the end of a loaf of bread that hadn't been within cooee of a toaster, thats right cold and not toasted. My daughter chose a brioche, I can't remember the filling, and it too was cold and she claimed, tasteless. In all fairness it should be noted that this visit was on a busy Sunday morning and the staff were under the hammer.The table staff were excellent but the food took an eternity to arrive at the table. Sadly, as we were getting ready to leave, my daughters asked that we not come back here.

We've been going here for years. The food is great and the coffee magnificent. In the past we would eat there every morning. It's got fairly expensive now compared to other places close by so we restrict our patronage to a couple of times a holiday.

Came for some fresh seafood and a glass of wine with a friend. The seafood platter was way overpriced, minimal and poorly presented. The sea scallops were overcooked. Very disappointing food with poor value. The service was fine but I won't go back.

The coffees are simply the best in Coolangatta. Always freshly ground and perfectly rounded taste!
