About Jay's Food Emporium Coolangatta

Skip the pretentious queues: Jay’s Food Emporium dishes up a proper, old-school feed right in Coolangatta without the inflated resort-town prices. Morning regulars head straight for the sub-$10 cooked fry-ups—two eggs, bacon, grilled tomato, and buttered toast straight off the flat top. The real draw is the counter lined with over twenty original, house-made sauces, from tangy hollandaise to a fiery Peri Peri ready to drown a milk bar–style Aussie burger. Jay runs the till himself, orders hit the table fast, and a thick caramel milkshake seals the deal.

  • House-Made Sauces: Over twenty original house-crafted condiments and seasonings ready for the grill or to take home by the bottle.
  • Sub-$10 Hot Breakfasts: Full hot breakfasts like eggs, bacon, and grilled tomato served hot off the grill for under $10.
  • Classic Burgers & Shakes: Old-school milk bar burgers and thick caramel shakes served up fast without fussy cafe markups.

Why Jay's Food Emporium Coolangatta Stands Out

Discover why Coolangatta locals and visitors choose Jay's Food Emporium for hearty, budget-friendly classics and original sauces.

  • Sub-$10 Full Cooked Breakfasts

    Jay's serves complete cooked morning meals including bacon, eggs, grilled tomato, and toast well under standard cafe prices.

    Seriously, is there anywhere else on the Goldie that you can get bacon, eggs (2), tomato and toast for under $10?

  • Unbeatable Everyday Value

    Hearty portions and classic milk bar burgers deliver exceptional value compared to neighboring resort cafes.

    Please keep up the honest prices ...always 20% cheaper than most others ...this is what gets the customers there at the very start .

  • Expansive House-Crafted Sauces

    Dishes are elevated with more than 20 original specialty sauces made on-site to pair with meals or purchase by the bottle.

    PLUS they have like 20+ of their own original sauces for sale which is cool

  • Customizable Diner Flavors

    Meals arrive piping hot alongside an authentic saucier setup and customized flavor options.

    Sauces all made in-house which was a nice change, considering the small size of the cafe they obviously have a real passion for good food.

    super speedy, DELICIOUS AND AFFORDABLE!!! Like proper in and out dining service

  • Hassle-Free Group Accommodating

    Spacious portions and fast turnarounds allow larger families and groups on a schedule to dine together effortlessly.

    Easily accommodated 8 people quickly (6 teenage boys and 2 weary parents!).

Classic diner staples and morning favorites at honest, affordable prices

  • Jay's Breakfast

    $7 Jay’s breakfast, with two fried eggs, bacon, grilled tomato and toast. Seriously, for $10 you can’t complain at all!

  • Brekkie Stack

    This brekkie stack was an absolute winner—crispy bacon, golden hash brown, runny eggs, spinach and creamy avocado all piled on perfectly toasted Turkish bread.

Practical tips to get the best value, seating, and flavors on your visit

  • Use the App for Deals

    Check their ordering app before ordering at the counter to unlock drink discounts like $3 iced lattes and seamless table delivery by name.

  • Opt for Outdoor Seating

    With an open grill kitchen indoors, snag one of the outside tables if you want fresh air and to avoid smelling like cooking aromas after your meal.

  • Stock Up on Sauces to Take Home

    In addition to pairing them with your meal, pick up bottles of Jay's 20+ proprietary house-made sauces and seasonings to take home, with multi-bottle deals available.
