The Little Larder

The food is absolutely gorgeous! We had crab omelette and porridge for our breakfast. The fresh squeezed juice is perfect too and the coffees were delicious. However, being one of a great brunch place, there is quite a bit of a wait time to wait to get a table. The staff were working as fast and best to clear and get the table ready at all time. The best breakfast we had in Port Douglas!

Great food. We just had brunch. Service is amazing. So quick and very pleasant attitude. When coffee arrived after the meal we got an apology (no necessary). Lovely spot on the main strip in Port Douglas to have a bite to eat. We had the Bircher muesli and Chilli scrambled eggs which were both fresh and yummy. Verdict: 10/10.

Great little spot, excellent food. Had the breakfast burger and the star of the show which was the pork croissant! Great service, lad from Leeds even provided HP sauce to make us feel right at home!

The coffee and the food were exceptional. Great service staff. Awesome to try a couple of fresh takes on (coconut) chili scramble and avocado (and beetroot) toast! Came a few times in our trip here.

We do not make a reservation before but you better did because always busy hours. We ordered quick lunches actually for the long day we have been thru. It was good enough, customer service is threat and foods all delicious. We could see the staffs are moving so quick cleaning the table for us. So welcome with the interior in a beautiful sunshine corner.

We found that if you’re after breakfast, get here early otherwise your going to be waiting for a seat. Once you get your coffee and food, you understand what all of the fuss is about. Friendly service and homemade hollandaise sauce is always a winner in my eyes - it means the kitchen really cares for you - all the feels

Came here after a friend’s recommendation. But so disappointing. Sunday brunch & zero vibe. Staff seemed disinterested & the wait in line felt awkward with no hello from staff. But the food..for $30 I got a plate of oil, honestly oily eggs, oily rosti, oily mushrooms, oily hash brown & small serving. Did not look appetising or fresh the moment it landed on the table.

Nice little cafe with reasonably priced food. We had to wait a bit as lunch service didn't start yet. The waiters and waitresses were friendly and gave us advice on the best meals to order. They messed up the food order (with dietary concerns) when served, but fixed their mistake quickly. The sandwiches were delicious though.

Loved the look of the place nice and vintage awesome food 5 star all the way if some on puts one star idk what they are thinking

As a vegetarian I liked the little larder which gave plenty of vegetarian options to eat. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich sub mushroom patty. I was extremely surprised with the outcome of this sandwich, it was very good with nice flavor. The mushroom did not overpower the tasty coleslaw and other vegetables. The service was okay (our server was on the low end of the energy spectrum) and the atmosphere was beachy and casual. Overall this restaurant was great and I highly recommend it.

We LOVED this little place. Confirm location as it is on opposite side of street as of our visit November 2019. Breakfast has unique items with fresh ingredients with ample portions. Outdoor patio seating is nice.

Probably one of the better meals had in Port Douglas. Wait staff was great and attentive and eve at closing [1500pm] they were still allowing people to Place take out ordered which was pretty nice considering they had already closed up shop. The oysters and bubbles combo was nice 1/2 dozen oysters and a glass of Prosecco for $20AUD The order of the Tiger Prawns were served cold but cooked to perfection The order of chicken wings were not bad but nothing spectacular and also on the saltier side but all in all a great lunch/brunch meal and the ambience/music was fitting for the occasion (Spotify pool party mix) Only downfall is that they are on the pricier side but hey you're on vacation. But don't take my word for it ! Try it out!

Relaxed, simple, and beachy, The Little Larder is ideal for a clean and delicious meal. I ordered the Duck Salad and it was everything that a salad should be - fresh, crispy, crunchy, and with lots of bold flavors. Service was excellent with my waiter asking if I wanted ice water to fill my water bottle. I wasn't rushed to leave my table and I spent some time after my meal relaxing and reading up on tourist info. This is a great casual dining option on The Esplanade in Port Douglas.

We had a late start to the day so we decided to grab lunch before seeing the Port Douglas sights. We decided to check out The Little Larder, a cafe which is located on the main road. We dropped in on a Saturday at noon. They have a cute outdoor setup with a few patio tables on the sidewalk and then a couple smaller seats up the stairs. Perfect for people watching so we snagged one. There's two different menus: brunch (7:30am to 11:30am) and lunch (12:00pm to 3:00pm). Lunch is sandwiches and bowls/salads. Drink menu is a little more interesting: coffee, tea, house made cold drinks, freshly squeezed juices, milkshakes, smoothies and fresh fruit slushies. They even do cocktails, beer and cider, spritzer and wine/sparkling. - Iced latte ($4.40 AUD) - this looked promising but it was bland and watered down. Not very good. - Housemade kombucha ($5.00 AUD) - sounded great on the menu but this was one dinky cup. They also put in ice which watered down the already weak flavours. I love kombucha; this one was a disappointment. - Middle eastern lamb ($13.50 AUD) - slow roasted lamb shoulder, dry rubbed with ras el hanout, green harissa, house made za'atar labneh and rocket on wood fired ciabatta. This was the better of the two sandwiches. The za'atar labneh was tasty. Lamb was good but could have been more gamey. - Crab claw ($13.50 AUD) - crab, crispy slaw, avocado and mayo on a crusty baguette. This was sad. Baguette was nowhere near being crusty. They topped it with some alfalfa sprouts which added nothing to the sandwich. The worst part was that the crab and the avo was so bland. We had to add salt and pepper to give it some flavour. Just terrible! No idea why LL is so highly rated. They must be living off of their Lonely Planet reputation. Wish we had checked out Cafe Fresq instead.

Good brunch menu. Reuben sandwich and pumpkin halloumi sandwich were delicious and big, including chips. Iced latte was good.

Decided to try another brekkie place. Table side service was nice as moist aussie places have been order at counter experience. Poached eggs were the best relative to the last 4 brekkies with poached eggs in Tasmania and Port Douglas. I had tried their kumbacha but it seemed a bit too tangy, not to mention having it served over ice. They had similar options like bettys bohemian cafe smoothie bowl and other healthy options.

Great little spot for a quick lunch. They don't have any dinner service. It's not a big shop, so it can be difficult to find a seat during busy times. They do takeaway though. I got the reuben and the wife got the crab sandwich. They're pretty large. I liked both of them. They also do kids' menu and we got our little one a ham cheese sandwich. They don't give you a little sandwich. It was the same size as the regular sandwiches. We definitely ordered too much food, but hey, we're on holiday so it was okay.

Admittedly, I'm starving, so maybe this is swaying my judgement, but this is a great little jewel in town. Buddha bowl is on point (actually has ample chicken!), fresh and perfect for a hot day. Oh and the bloody is probably also swaying my opinion... it's also fresh and perfect for a hot day. Space is tight. Has some nice outdoor seating that I'm loving since I can people watch while I eat indoor is just plain small, but it's fine. Honestly, this is my first stop in PD and I have all ideas I'll be back to try the Reuben... rumor has it that thing is bomb dot com!

Excellent breakfast joint! Really cute and great service. A nice variety of healthy, fresh and indulgent options. Everything we had was amazing and we plan to return before the end of our trip.

Omg. Breakfast here is top notch. Service is lovely! Try the Benedict. You won't be sorry. It's on an amazing ciabatta bread for a nice twist. The almond croissant will leave you speechless

Quick service, fantastic drinks menu and the sandwiches are worth having to walk all day to work them off! Between us we had: The Plougmans - full of flavor, crunchy bread and ripe tomatoes The Philli Cheese - tasty, satisfied the hangry one The Cajun Chicken - excellent definitely recommend! The staff were friendly and chatty Must try while you're here!

Great food here, and coffee too. Simple, Rustic, Tasty! We were there for a late breakfast... I had a tomato, chorizo, salsa type dish with poached egg and toast. (I added avocado) - yum! Even though it was busy, the wait staff were well organized and friendly. You have to visit this place if you are in Port Douglas.

This was our favorite place to go for breakfast while in Port Douglas. I loved the baked pumpkin and their coffee is really good. Great outdoor area for people watching albeit very small. Prices were reasonable and service was good.

The Little Larder is incredibly popular for both breakfast and lunch because the food is insanely good. The eggs benedict is the absolute best I've had anywhere. Perfectly poached eggs, crispy bacon, toast, and perfect hollandaise. The waffles are also very tasty if you've got a sweet tooth. Strong coffee and friendly service make this a can't miss option in PD.

Very cute little spot along the main road in Port douglas. We had our breakfast outside on the patio, facing the street. We enjoyed the Salmon and Avocado on Ciabatta. Surprisingly, they are not stingy on the salmon. He enjoyed the French Toast but was not a fan of the sweet mixed berries that were mixed into the batter. There was also this very delicious sparkling drink that would could not find anywhere else!

Smoothies were great. Sandwiches were a bit anemic... and there's an upcharge for wanting your sandwich with some kind of bread... not premium, just any type of bread. Add the basic cost into the sandwich, and an upcharge for the wraps or whatever, just odd.

Delicious food! We shared a Reuben sandwich and smashed Chats (highly recommended- potatoes deep fried!). So good! The service was excellent! Definitely a must eatery!!

Found these guys on the second day in Port Douglas and immediately became regulars - think we had two lunches and two breakfast ina four day stay! All the food is awesome - the breakfasts were fantastic, including a Onsie which is basically one egg, one tomato and one slice of bacon, for the ladies, and the pulled pork tacos were seriously to die for. Great coffee, good food, good sounds, great service - can't go wrong.

Currently standing as PDs best breakfast and best value for breakfast. Coffee is strong but nice and the juices are great and fresh. Great friendly staff.

Beautiful sandwiches. Not your standard menu board. We had a Cajun chicken and Rueben. Doubt you would be disappointed with anything on the menu as it was a tough choice, they all sounded great.

Probably the better breakfast option. Their Bircher muesli is pretty excellent, coffee good, which I couldn't say about most of the places on this little strip. Large cues though. But not for nothing.

Great service, great food, great coffee and Hot chocolate!! I had breakfast here and throughly enjoyed it. Prices are reasonable too! Ticks all the boxes if your looking for a place to eat definitely try this place!!

Food and staff lovely but I only gave it 3stars because of their Chai almond milk latte and tumeric almond latte. They were warm not hot and watery. I'd go back for the food. It elsewhere for my latte.

Great coffee, decent breakfast, great service. Probably the best breakfast we found on the main street. Definitely worth a visit!

My brother proclaimed this place our best breakfast in Australia so far. He had the poached egg and ocean trout paleo friendly dish. We were in a rush and let the staff know we only had 35 minutes to eat and they were totally quick and prompt in order for us to get to our train on time! Delicious, organic, and healthy. They make their own kombucha too.

Great brekkie spot, lovely staff and laid back vibe. We were a group of 6, all meals looked great, nice coffee, super veggie and GF options too

Good food albeit brusque service. In laid back PD, that is rather out of character. We had mushrooms and eggs benedict plus coffee and orange juice. All very standard fare. Very packed place on late Tuesday morning too.

Loved the meals here. I had the pumpkin salad and it was absolutely delicious!! Want to come back and try breakfast while I'm up here

Too much hype about this place in the other reviews. I ordered an expensive breakfast entrée, chorizo and white bean shukshuka, and it was bland with nary a helping of chorizo in sight. Service was uneven and actually not too friendly, which was odd for me, as most of Australia has been more than friendly. This place seems to have a hipster attitude. It's a great location, and has a very nice ambiance, just not up to what it might be. I'd look elsewhere for breakfast in Port Douglas.

Great food & coffee. The pulled pork rolls are sensational and the sweets are very moorish.

A well oiled machine. The waitresses were so efficient which is required for this busy restaurant. Good value of money, good variety of options for breakfast and enjoyable. Lost a point for forgetting part of the order but a minor bleep really.

Buddha bowl was nice but had waaay too much soy sauce in it so it got quite intense by the end, homemade lemonade was refreshing but I don't know that I'd call it a lemonade (more a ginger lemon water) my husband had the Reuben which he said was nice enough but not amazing. Great service and all in all a pleasant place to have lunch

Fantastic- we spent a rainy few hours trying their sprizters ( recommend the white) great music in the background, great staff, great drinks

During the Quuensland portion of our tour of Australia, this was a real gem of a find for breakfast and light lunch. A little context: it's hot and humid every day and it's a good idea to get in a solid meal before the days's activities and heat settles in. I had the Eggs Your Way and a smoothie (banana or strawberry) every day. The missus went for poached eggs and mochaccino. Everything was delicious. We were regulars for our entire 5 day stay in Port Douglas. And we weren't the only ones. There were other visitors who randomly or Yelp walked in and came back on subsequent days.

Mmmmmmmm... Soooo glad we found this little gem for brekky!! Had the Eggs Benedict, tried the Pulled Pork tacos, and the Nutella French Toast. I would come back and have every one of them. So So Good!!!

Good coffee, well, great for the area. They use a Sydney single origin roaster and the baristas are well trained. The breakfast menu features your typical bacon, eggs, muffins, muesli etc etc and is well put together and very good. Ingredients are fresh, local and organic. The food is delicious. Don't go past the double smoked bacon!! The service is friendly, and wait times are now minimal indicating a well organised kitchen (a huge improvement on a few years ago). By far the best cafe in Port Douglas.

Great sandwiches and salads. No air conditioning though and it was pretty stuffy in the restaurant. Good overall.

Best breakfast in the area. The only downfall was the hollandaise sauce, out of a jar. Hopefully next time we go they would of made some :). Oh the coffee was good too.

Came for lunch and had a beef cheek sandwich while the wife had the pulled pork sandwich. The beef cheek was a bit gamey for me but was balanced well with the horseradish and red onion while the pulled pork sandwich was a little dry and I've never been a fan of cole slaw but the wife seemed to like it. The place gets extra points for being a more contemporary (or trendy?) offering in Port Douglas with menu items like confit duck and vietnamese banh mi sandwiches among other non-sandwhich items and I would certainly put it "in the rotation" if here for a couple days or more.

The eggs benny rolled out of the talented kitchen of the Little Larder non stop the whole morning! I enjoyed the wild mushroom Ragu myself. The menu is inventive, the coffee excellent , staff friendly and efficient. The place to start your Port Douglas adventures each morning.

Our favourite eat spot in Port Douglas for breakfast and lunch. Great service, great food and even better coffee. Only downside is its popularity but they have a good system of managing the tables to minimise wait times.

As far as lunch goes in Port Douglas, you can't beat The Little Larder. The staff is quick and friendly, it's a great value for your money, and the food was excellent. You can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches (the reuben was superb), the smashed chats were amazing as a side, but the highlight of the lunch was the Buddha Bowl (trust me, order it). Overall, fantastic restaurant. We will be returning!

Was pleasantly surprised at how tasty the food was and great the service was! Will definitely be back there again!!!

Try Lantern Fish - their 'fish and chips' down the street. Top seafood laksa, or grilled coral trout with wasabi coleslaw. Eat there (BYO) or take away. Wonderful.

Came on a Sunday at 10.30 got a table pretty easy Good service, limited but tasty menu with everything you could want, nice juices and coffees. Would return here no problems

quick service and very good food. Had breakfast there (avacado and smoked salmon on toast). Good portions, reasonable price.

Delicious breakfast - get he mushroom raging with scrambled eggs. They won't disappoint.
