We loved our time here! So many gluten free options. Our waitress Ashley was very accomodating and even went out of her way to seat us in the best ocean view spot! Food came out quick and was super delicious.

enjoyed sandbar twice on our 3 day visit for breakfast and they were able to accomodate my gluten free needs as a coeliac. the food was amazing especially their well presented and inviting scrambled eggs! few too many windows open on the two windy and rainy days so it was hard to find a breeze free seat in the restaurant but we managed and the food was delicious!

Had a GF pizza it was one of the best I've had in the past 15 years. Great place if your Coeliac. Staff are very friendly and courteous.

The food is so flavourful and I loved how healthy it is! Not healthy meaning only the vegetable and meat but healthy as in they don't cook with inflammatory oils, instead they cook with butter, olive oil and I believe I think coconut oil as well. I got a gingerella and WOW tasted so addicting and it was balanced well with the hint of vanilla! I asked for a veggie stir fry with a salmon on top and the salmon was cooked just too well! Not too raw and not too overcooked it was easy to chew, soft and overall you could tell it was pure fresh right from the sea. You could tell the salmon lived a good life under the sea 🤣. I also got a cinnamon and apple cake and also a blueberry one and they are gluten free meaning they also dont use any of those bleached flours! The cakes WERE SO GOOD and rightfully filling! But right as I'm typing this I'm craving another one!!! My mum loved the apple and cinnamon one and its suprising because my mother usually doesn't like eating from outside! The workers were so kind, I came a bit late and they were closing but they were so generous to still serve me even when they were meant to be closing! You could tell they really care about feeding their customers wholesome gut-friendly food and care about when they are hungry aswell! The scenery was peaceful and quiet along with some tropical music but with no lyrics which I prefer that way! So much tropical plants and the store looked so alive that I felt right at home! Overall if your looking for a cafe that doesn't use any inflammatory oils, that really want to nurious their customers and they do not whatsoever use suger or bleached or chemical ingredients. They are the bestfriend to the gut health! I love eating here and my vacation is over so I will forever miss eating here!!!

I popped in here for breakfast one morning, because it was only one block from my hotel and the reviews were good. They have some really good value breakfast options. I have coeliac disease and when ordering a gluten-free option they ask you whether you're coeliac and inform the cook, which is excellent. My coffee didn't taste as strong as I'd like (small flat white with two shots), but it wasn't bad.

Went to Bumbles for a High Tea and had an amazing experience. They catered for vegan gluten free diets which was great.

Great range for gluten free cooked separately Perfect pit stop before your flight touch over priced but that’s airport food. Taste makes you feel better about the purchase cheers

This is such a relaxed cafe with amazing food and large portions and most important large variety of GLUTEN FREE options so great for a coeliac! also excellent value for money! meals are presented well and really leave you feeling satisfied. staff are polite and food is quick. Ate here twice over our 3 days stay as it was a must return visit the second time!

Eat here everything we visit. Food is consistent however they need a new supplier for the gluten free bread asap.

We went to the Cafe twice this week. We found it was well worth it, as all of the cats were friendly, and despite the main focus being the cats, had good gluten free food. The first time we went we were served by Gaby who was wonderful, we unfortunately didn't get the second person's name.

Stumbled across Café Alfons and wow—what a gem! You know a place is doing something right when it’s buzzing at 9am on a Wednesday. The staff were friendly and super quick, checking in without hovering. The food was fresh, full of flavour, and hands down the best avo and feta combo I’ve ever had. My wife asked about a gluten-free option for one of the dishes—unfortunately it wasn’t possible, but the team handled it kindly and didn’t make us feel awkward at all. We left very happy and already planning our next visit. Only downside? We wish there was one closer to home!

Nice little place in the shopping mall. Good gluten free availability for extra fee (A$3.50). Nice coffee and good service too.
