A pre-booked table not ready when we arrived. All good we were seated a few minutes later. The wait staff seemed distracted and distraught when I advised that our group was not having the set menu. Wait staff seemed to think this was a given. Only 1 drinks menu available for the table we asked several times. Ordered wine took 45 minutes to have that delivered. Others on the table had their mains sides delivered prior to entree. One of our group is coeliac and ordered a GF free option which was delivered with bread on the plate! Noisey atmosphere staff were overrun. We were not asked about the bill payment for our large group and we had to rock up 1 x 1 and relay what each person/couple were paying for. Very weird. The food when it finally arrived (mine anyway) was hot fresh and tasty.
Other group members complained about a serving size of a lamb shoulder.
Limited wine list and average quality with above average pricing. It’s a big no from myself and others in our group. The wait staff were friendly enough but just not focused or way too distracted.
I will not be returning an extremely expensive and disappointing night all round and sad as it was a ‘celebration’ for 2 of our group. I was embarrassed that I suggested this place & the interstate visitors were not impressed.
Pizzas were the worst we’ve ever had. So so salty felt like they’d been dipped in the ocean before being served. We ordered 4, one which was gluten free and it was beyond terrible. My friend got her money back as her crusts were clearly burnt and instead of making a new base — they just completely cut off the crusts hoping we wouldn’t notice.
Absolutely fantastic spot that catered for gluten free as well, I got the meat platter and it was divine! Staff are absolutely lovely as well! Definitely one to visit!
My family and I always have an enjoyable meal at Craft, breakfast lunch and dinner. We always have a meal here whenever we are up here from Brisbane and have been doing so for 6 years. My family have gluten free meals and there are always plenty of quality options. Highly Recommended.
We loved the 7 course degustation dinner along with the wine pairing. The flavours on plate were wonderful, the wine fantastically paired with each serving.
The atmosphere was also fantastic.
P..S - the team were also able to cater for me as a coeliac with no bother at all.
Decent portion sizes, tasted nice, went for both a crumbed and a naked chicken wrap.
Not too many GF options, and definitely not the best too.
Paid $31 for 2 wraps..
On our naked gluten free wrap, it was written honey soy, which we didn't ask for, and staff told it's just written wrong.
No allergic reaction so assuming it was just incorrectly written.
The reviews are correct this place is amazing. My coeliac wife ordered a large pizza gluten free. No issues and Sensational. Mooloolaba’s hidden secret. Ps Google maps has it in Burnett St but it’s in River Esplanade just about opposite Parkyn Parade.
Lovely coffee, they had gluten free option available 😍 and adjusted to dairy free for my annoying needs! Happy faces and such a cute little set up and feel. I was even able to enjoy reading a few pages of one of their books 😍 I’ll definitely be back to try those cocktails and cheese platters 💪🏻
Very rude staff! I asked for one of their gluten free cakes, as I have celiac disease. They packaged my cake with my husband's, and the young girl rolled her eyes when my husband asked if they can be in separate boxes due to the severity of my celiac disease.

In love with this place! The vibe is immaculate. It’s so aesthetic it’s great for pics, got lots of gluten free / vegan food and nice music. I’m super happy
Had breakfast here on a busy saturday morning but didn’t have to wait as they have plenty of seating. Staff are friendly and efficient. We had their smashed avo and the brekkie burger was divine 👌
Amazing gluten free options. Coffee hit the spot too. A must try if you are in the area.
Best coffee and atmosphere on the coast. Truly.
They make their own beans and have multiple locations on the coast for you to visit!
Can also buy their coffee in store or in select places (ie, Wholelife, IGA wises rd ect.)
Gluten free / dairy free options available
I am so grateful to have had this beautiful and welcoming space to journal, read, bring friends, or simply enjoy their incredible coffee!
The team, no matter who, were always so kind. There is not another place like this, I am grateful for all of you <3
This has been a safe space for me through so much.
Every friend/family member I brought only ever had wonderful things to say. Everything tastes good and is made with so much love !!
I don’t often write reviews but I hope you all continue to flourish in this business.
Only thing I could say is that would love to eventually see a decaf option - would be great for those who still want to enjoy the taste without the caffeinating effect.
Thank you guys<3
May each of your hearts be filled with love and joy.
Awesome coffee shop with a wide range of Gluten Free brownies and bake bars. Cinnamon scroll (non GF) was very tasty too, so perfect for people with mixed dietary requirements. Staff were friendly and service was quick and only 4 min from Mooloolaba Beach.
Celiac friendly
