🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5/5 – A Hidden Gem with Something for Everyone! Absolutely loved this little café! One of the standout features is the huge range of options, seriously, there’s something for everyone. They even have separate gluten-free and plant-based menus, which made choosing so much easier and inclusive for all diets. Now, let’s talk food, the chipotle chat potatoes were an easy 10/10. Perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, soft inside, and packed with just the right amount of smoky heat. Honestly couldn’t have been better. I’d go back just for those. I also tried the Ginger Ninja juice, fresh, zingy (not too zingy), and super refreshing. Exactly what you want in a juice: balanced, punchy, and not too sweet. Service was super quick, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole place had a relaxed, easygoing vibe. The location is convenient, and prices are more than fair for the quality and variety on offer. Highly recommend checking this place out whether you’re after a quick bite, a hearty plant-based meal, or just want some standout potatoes. Will definitely be back!

Incredible service, efficient, food was delicious. My sister is a celiac and they adapted perfectly to this, with natural options for it. Our waitress, Ines was very nice and seemed to predict all our needs. 10/10

All the food was great and the portions were nice. For a celiac eating out in Cairns can be a real problem, here they have a dedicated gluten free menu and they pay attention to contamination. The pizza is cooked in the same oven but on a different tray, separate fryer and friendly staff. So far, I think it is the best choice for those who are gluten intolerant in all of Cairns, I will definitely be back.

I just went into this location and was told they do not cater to celiac. They have no dedicated fryers and everything is cooked together on the same equipment. I would not recommend eating here if celiac or have a gluten allergy.

Absolutely blown away by this breakfast! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the first bite to the last, everything on this plate was an explosion of flavour. Seriously SO flavourful! And the breaky burger? Don't even get me started – it was equally fantastic. While the gluten-free options were a little limited, the sheer deliciousness of what they did offer more than made up for it. You can tell they prioritize quality and taste above all else. The waiter as well (forgot his name, sorry!) was super hilarious and friendly…highlight of the visit!! I'm already planning my next visit!

Would leave zero stars if I could. Completely unaware of allergens. Reassured us that they could make a laksa gluten free. Then gave us the dish with crispy wontons. Asked multiple times if these were gluten free, to which they responded that they were. Then started eating the meal and due to our concerns with their awareness, asked what kind of noodles they used. They stated egg noodles (made from gluten). Horrible service throughout.

We as a couple had breakfast here Eggs on toast $13 Added sides which were $3 to $5 each Gluten free bread $3.50 It was nice nothing bad but nothing outstanding. Service was a little slow considering there was alot of staff and no wait for a table, my plate was missing food items that were ordered and on receipt, but very quickly fixed.

I recently visited this cafe and found it to be a solid choice. The fresh juices are absolutely delicious, with a wide range of varieties and variations to choose from. Fresh food, fresh ingredients - all made with love. However, it's worth noting that the gluten-free options are somewhat limited. Despite this, everyone seems to speak very highly of Muddys Cafe, which speaks to its overall quality. I'd definitely recommend it!

We came here twice on our 5 night stay in Cairns. The coffee was good. On our second visit we got a gluten free white chocolate macadamia nut biscuit too. It was quite small and $4.50 which I thought it quite expensive given it was literally three mouthfuls. Would come here again for the coffee though! Best coffee we had in Cairns.

Great little cafe in the heart of the city!! The food was pretty good and the portion sizes were great too, was quite difficult to finish the eggs Benedict! A few gluten free options and super friendly staff. I absolutely enjoyed my experience here and cannot wait to share it with my friends and family.

Best coffee is Cairns hands down. 👏🏻 Was blown away by the incredible flavours of the baristas breakfast tasting set. Definitely worth a try for any coffee finatics or baristas. Also grabbed a gluten-free and dairy-free almond cookie which was so delightful and not overly sweet, yummy!! Extremely friendly and welcoming atmosphere and staff. Want to come back again and again.

My Little Bakehouse is a hidden gem that promises sweet indulgence and warm hospitality. I called them based on a recommendation to see if they could bake a cake for my mum’s birthday. I only gave them 24 hours notice. They made a gluten-free berry cheesecake with a birthday message. Each forkful revealed a symphony of juicy berries and a velvety cream cheese—the best cheesecake I’ve ever had! Marshall, who manages the place, deserves applause for his kindness and helpfulness. I would highly recommend My Little Bakehouse!

Delightful experience!!! Could not believe their gluten free noodles taste just like the real thing… I repeat the real thing! None of this rice noodle nonsense. Beautiful little shop with seating inside and out. Seemed quite busy when we arrived, so I suggest booking in. Staff were phenomenal and the food… there are no words to describe how delicious, delectable and divine the ramen was. Will go back, have been back and will continue to return. Honestly check it out if you haven’t already!
