Village Cafe Restaurant & Bar

Probably the worst fish and chips I’ve ever had. I reckon I coulda reeled in a cod and cooked it in the hot Australian sun before I was served this slop. The fish was quite undercooked and there was no crispy outside layer. The fries were also somewhat cold and seasoned roughly. Overall terrible experience. Long wait for poor food.

Eggs benny with avocado on gluten free bread 10/10 great service, atmosphere and vibes. Easy 5 star review from me, thank you so very much for providing such an efficient, delicious, nourishing and energizing breakfast to fuel the day for my now fiance and I for her belated birthday breakfast! Utterly fantastic, would reccomend! ~♡~

I read some of the reviews. I must have gone to the wrong place. The young lady barista at Village Cafe was both welcoming and professional. Outstanding service, great coffee and atmosphere. We are back up this way mid 2026 and will be back. Thank you for your service. Well done Miss. The owners are lucky to have her working for them. I mentioned this business to others on our cruise and I noted two groups pop in for coffee and a beer.

Came in as they have almond croissants… staffed by children, only one adult in the kitchen, average age of the kids would be around 14. The croissants were stale, warmed in a microwave but cold filling, soggy where it should crunch. Coffee was cool. Weirdly food is delivered to your table but you have to collect your coffees from the counter. It’s a good thing this is a tourist town, they wouldn’t survive if they relied on repeat custom. Nice garden view dining area away from the hustle and bustle.

Considering that this was a Café with lots of foot traffic, I was surprised how vacant it was. The waitstaff was not attentive and several customers turned away waiting despite the vacancy. I hope they can improve in the future. As for the food & drinks, the drinks were wonderful, but I was dissatisfied with my steak sandwich. It was tough and made with cheap cuts. The rest of my family was satiated, but agreed the food was average.

Our experience was mixed. More than 1 hr wait for food during Christmas Day is probably expected. The food in general were both good but at the one hour wait mark, we were told that one of the dishes was not available and we had to wait longer to reorder. If you are in a rush, this is probably not the place for you. My eggs Benedict was good and my partner’s steak sandwich was also good. But she had to wait another 30 mins (1.5 hrs in total) for hers to arrive. It is Christmas so they must be short staffed and this is understandable.

If ya in Airlie and after some breakfast 😋 this place is pretty good. As you can see from the empty plates we smashed the big breakky and eggs benny. 🐔 Friendly staff good coffee ☕️ Nice chill place to stop and rest ya feet and fill ya belly 😊 Theres cakes and take away sandwiches if ya heading to the beach and need a yummy snack. 😋

The worst dining experience I’ve had in Australia. I ordered a smashed avocado, and the avocado layer was minimal and completely tasteless, plus the toast was hard. I also ordered French toast, which had a sour taste, dry edges, and was chewy. I’m leaving very disappointed.

Located at the end of a walkway and to the right of Woolworths, this cafe has some solid food and pleases service. Vegetarian review: vegan wrap was pretty good, if not a bit messy. The mushroom, uh, juice? in it makes the bottom of the wrap soggy rather quickly. There's a hash brown in it as well, which was interesting. It's there not so much for taste as for texture, maybe. Fries were great. From the look of the big breakie, I'd say try the vegan/vegetarian one if you want a veggie option.

Based on what I tried. I should warn others not to come here :/ My pork belly tacos were inedible. I could not pass the smell and after taste of sewer water. The taco shells were so past it's shelf life time span. I felt like I was part of the zombie apocalypse and I was on life rationings and we didn't have clean water to cook with. Disappointed as our first meal in airlie beach :(

I ordered a cappuccino, eggs Benedict with bacon and a hash brown. I enjoyed my meal, it was was a typical breakfast and tasted lovely, portions were quite good for the money, it consisted of two pieces of sourdough toast, spinach, 2 eggs and hollandaise sauce. coffees are not huge but are strong. Food came out fairly quick too. Eggs Benedict with bacon $18 Hash brown $2.50 Cappuccino $4.90

Great atmosphere for any time of the day. Came here for breakfast and couldn't complain. Glad we stopped in Food portions are generous and extremely fresh! Quite cheap prices considering the meal sizes and large menu to select from. Be sure to try their fresh juices!

If you are looking for a casual but lovely "real" restaurant, this is your place. Nice location in the middle of Airlie Beach. Have a desting with good service. Order at the waitress. Healthy and good food for a reasonable price. Could have a little bit more veggie dishes, but the ones we had havd been tasty. Go for the pumpkin salad.

Their juices here are amazingly good and fresh so far I have tried their Strawberries and cream.. yummy Their pick me up which is a greens pineapple and mint juice Get their eggs florentine: consists of a nicely done poached egg, huge mushroom spinach mushroom and hollaindaise sauce. The next morning I also got my pick me up drink and this time with toast avocado( you got a whole avocado) they don't mess around with no halves here with poached egg and it comes with a side spinach salad. Simple breakfast but perfectly handled. Dinner came and got their chicken fajita hot stone. I cooked!!haha the chicken they offer is very soft tender and juicy. I hate cooking chicken. But it wasn't dry at all as I would have thought.

The food was ok, but the service wasn't. If there's "2 eggs on bread" on the menu and you order 2 eggs on bread you expect one dish with 2 eggs on breads. However, I got 2 dishes with 2 eggs each! Explaining the case didn't help. From the managers point of view it was my fault and I had to pay. That's what I call bad service.

Came with 4 friends for breakfast and everyone was very happy with their meals. I got the eggs Benedict with salmon and the hollandaise sauce was a little too sweet/lemony for my taste but still very good. There are cheaper options nearby though.

Not something to write home about, flat white was good but eggs bacon on toast just didn't taste right
