Caloundra's most awarded café is hiding in a laneway and that is exactly how the regulars like it. Lamkin Lane Cafe sits just off Bulcock Street and holds the title of the area's number one ranked café, backed by a 4.8 on Google and a loyal following that has been building since the café opened.
The coffee programme is the headline act. Lamkin Lane roasts its own beans in-house under the Candy Lane blend, a signature that has developed a cult following on the Sunshine Coast and is available to take home by the bag. At any given time, single-origin options sit alongside the house blend, giving serious coffee drinkers something to dig into with every visit.
The food menu takes an Australian-Vietnamese fusion approach that catches most first-timers by surprise in the best way. Vietnamese Rosti, Lamkin Lane Benny, Asian Tacos, Saigon style Udon Banh canh, Vietnamese style poke bowl, Vietnamese sizzling beef rice, Japanese French Toast …. and house-baked goods sit alongside seasonal specials that move with the kitchen's mood. Outdoor seating under beach umbrellas, an unhurried atmosphere and a team that genuinely knows their craft make this a non-negotiable stop on any Caloundra food trail.
Open seven days from 6am to 2pm.
