What a great little cafe. The dishes were made of very fresh, tasty ingredients. This isnât a meat pie and chips kind of place. Though, you might still be able to order them. If you like contemporary flavours that tickle your tastebuds then this might be a good option. The place has table service which was a bit slow, but I like a place that gets you out of the busyness of life and lets you take a few extra minutes to enjoy time with friends and family. I would definitely recommend this place. We will be back.

Probably in our top 3 fave cafes in Cairns for coffee and breakfast! The service is always friendly, attentive and efficient. The food is delicious and the portions are very good. All for a very reasonable price too!

Enjoyed a delicious breakfast here with friends. The welcome was warm and friendly and we were seated quickly. The only thing we didn't realise however was that you have to go back to the front counter to order/get water for the table etc. Otherwise all was good and we enjoyed our experience. Nice coffee too!Thankyou so much for your visit and sorry for counter service, we are still a small business and it is just the best way for us to keep track of everything. Thankyou again! glad you enjoyed your visit :)

This is the place to go to in the Kuranda Heritage Markets to get the best crepes. There are classic crepes, sweet crepes and gourmet crepes. The gourmet crepes are outstanding, and are a bit like a gourmet pizza on a crepe base. All three of us were very happy with what we ordered and would happily go there again. It is popular so you may have to wait for a seat if you go there at peak times.There is a also lovely deck which looks into the rainforest. The staff are all really friendly and helpful.

As a local who has been here in Cairns for many years, this is a gem of a place, always busy, great service, and consistent food. They specialize in breakfasts and have a great variety, and serves are big. No wonder it is always full. At Christmas they make a fabulous ginger hot toddy type drink (no alcohol). Yummy gluten free almond cake with cream.

Fabulous Breakfast and Lunch and special functions - with in and outdoor dining areas, fully licensed and air conditioned. Serving exclusively Sipping Duck local coffee with a great range of grab and go or relax and unwind.
Reviewed By BiscuitBird
Cafe Strada proved to be our favourite breakfast/brunch place while holidaying at Cairns. There are a lot of good things going for it, but it came down to the crepes: both the sweet ones as well as the savoury, they were all excellent and did well to set us up for the upcoming day. We truly enjoyed going back for more!If I have to point at negatives, I will say I found the coffee rather mediocre (but I am a certified coffee snob). There are better serious coffee establishments in the vicinity (but none that offer as good food). Service was rather slow though cheerful and courteous.
