Caffiend

Great Breakfast especially having to be Gluten Free. Good selection on the Menu

My café of choice is @caffiend_cairns in terms of: ☕️ coffee quality @tattooedsailorcoffeeroasters and consistency (never a boiling coffee or a cold one, great presentation, not diluted, creamy irrespective of milk used), 🥓 food portions, quality, versatility and consistency. Great flavours and deeply satisfying, even the humble smashed avo on toast is one of the best; 🌾 gluten-free options with just about everything gluten-free, with exceptional quality. Their sourdough substitute was the best gf sourdough my wife has tasted and she's experienced many; 🥭 best juice we have enjoyed, almost anywhere tbh even across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane; 💰 reduced additional expenses, especially with the fact that many meals like the okonomiyaki are gf. With additions, when we first experienced it, we were shocked with the ridiculously high prices. But we have paid more for far less items and satisfaction levels, due to other local cafes overcharging of gf/dairy substitutes (even if their gf bread came from Woolworths) and extra shots of coffee- in the end the $ was justified enough to return daily and the menu stimulating enough to always try something new; ✋️ exceptional and consistent customer service, where you can see staff are happy and taken care of. The owner Ollie deserves kudos. 📝 A word of advice: the decor, signage and vibes are unpretentious and unique to Cairns. Caffiend breaks the mould of usual market profiles of cafes (not bouji, not hipster, not pretentious, not regional but not city) but is made for food and beverage experience seekers only. You will see more locals than tourists for this very reason, but I encourage all Cairns visitors to go as it will make their fb experience memorable.
