Coconut Coffee House

Coconut Coffee House in Ormiston is a cool café with a laidback, beachy vibe serving all-day brunch along with Byron Bay Organic Espresso.

The coastal chic décor – think palm trees and peacock chairs - belies the location, a Redlands shopping strip on a busy thoroughfare.

The comprehensive menu includes the café’s signature hot pot packed full of chorizo sausage, honey smoked bacon and mushrooms in rich tomato sauce topped with two free range eggs, the Big Cohuna breakfast of grilled bacon, free range eggs, vine ripened tomatoes, mushrooms and hash brown with garlic Turkish bread and the very popular Vegie Stack - two soft poached eggs, pan fried mushrooms, vine ripened tomatoes, halloumi, avocado and garden greens served on sourdough toast.

Sweet tooths are well-catered for with a choice of waffles (salted caramel and apple, Canadian maple and honey smoked bacon or chocolate), light and fluffy buttermilk pancakes, and French toast served with coconut ice cream, maple syrup and fresh seasonal fruit.

Lunch (available weekdays only) ranges from wholesome salads and buddha bowls to hearty burgers like lamb or protein packed veggie burger.

Drink wise, there’s the café’s signature coconut coffee, Byron Bay organic coffee, specialty lattes, Tea Tonic teas, milkshakes and yummy smoothies such as I Am Grateful green smoothie, I Am Loved mixed berry smoothie and I Am Passionate pineapple and passionfruit smoothie.

Good to know – There’s another Coconut Coffee House at Terranora in northern New South Wales near the Queensland border.

Need to know – The kitchen closes an hour before the café.
