My experience here was a bit of a mixed bag, landing it at a 3-star rating. My partner thoroughly enjoyed his meal, which is definitely a positive. And I must say, the chai latte I ordered was absolutely delicious – a real highlight.
However, I was disappointed that they didn't have any gluten-free bread available as requested. While the kitchen was accommodating enough to provide me with just the bacon, eggs, hollandaise sauce, and spinach, it wasn't quite the full Eggs Benedict experience I was hoping for. The individual components were tasty enough, but it felt a little incomplete without the bread.
We have eaten at Shanti Cafe every day during our stay in Mission Beach. Every dish has been amazing and the coffee is delicious. There are lots of gluten free and vegan options too. The staff are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is great. We highly recommend Shanti Cafe.
