Place was very nice and open, very clean and well presented. The decor gave it a very beach home feel. Staff were also friendly. Lots of options for food so had trouble choosing what to get. The falafel bowl was AMAZING. It was a lot for what you pay for and I couldn't finish it all. Good amount of options for vegetarian and vegan food.

We have been there twice now and loving it! I am willing to drive down from Brisbane to enjoy a nice "man size" breakfast (with Boere wors and all) and good coffee. They also have some interesting options on the menu for those that are looking for something different. Greeted by friendly staff, service is really fast and prices are very reasonable for the food that you received. Love the African atmosphere and you have enough space around your table so you can still have a relaxing conversation while eating. Thanks and see you soon :-).

Great spot. Cosy. Large servings. Reasonable prices. One of the best and certainly the most affordable eggs Benedict I've had, the sauce is just right for my taste. Coffee was good and service friendly and attentive. Dog friendly and plenty of nearby parking in a very trendy part of the Gold Cost. Where else can you see Bentley's and multi million dollar boats and enjoy cheap food and good old fashioned service?

Nice place, all day brekky with a good range. Outdoors - no air con here. I would not recommend this place for groups, big orders seem to always get messed up and rushed.

Thank you SO much to the beautiful young waitress who served me today. I had just received some ‘not nice’ news, so instead of just bringing me my AMAZING coffee she always gave me a complimentary piece of the most beautiful Caramel Cheesecake! How beautiful is this? Thank you SO very much! I will certainly make Cafe Aqua my ‘go to’ Coffee Shop. ALL of the food looked amazing as it was being served and ALL of the staff were so friendly and the service was a amazing! Thank you again...... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
