Book NowAbout Kefi Cafe
Kefi Cafe shakes up Coolangatta brunch with sun-drenched Mediterranean plates cooked completely seed-oil-free. Morning regulars drop in for poached Turkish eggs heaped over yogurt, spiced chili oil, and tender shreds of confit lamb—best mopped up with house-baked, olive-studded gluten-free focaccia. The barista counter runs cold brews and ceremonial matcha layered with thick pistachio or bueno cold foam. Tabletop card games keep things easygoing while dogs sprawl on the breezy deck outside.

- Signature Cold Foams: Iced matcha and cold brew layered with house-whipped pistachio, bueno, and white chocolate foam.
- House Gluten-Free Focaccia: Artisanal olive-studded focaccia baked in-house replaces standard packaged gluten-free bread.

Distinctive Highlights
Why diners choose Kefi Cafe for Mediterranean brunch, wholesome scratch cooking, and specialty drinks
100% Seed Oil-Free Cooking
The entire kitchen operates without seed oils, allowing guests to enjoy rich Mediterranean dishes like Turkish eggs without feeling weighed down.
As a girly who tries to avoid seed oils I fell in-love with the fact that this entire cafe is seed oil free.
Natalie Carroll House-Made Olive Gluten-Free Focaccia
Rather than serving standard commercial sliced bread, the cafe bakes olive-stuffed gluten-free focaccia in-house for gluten-free breakfast dishes.
Most cafes give you plain, sliced gluten-free bread as a substitute (like you'd buy from the supermarket), but this was a genuine [gluten-free] focaccia bread, stuffed with olives and nice and salty.
Simon Daniel Artisanal Flavored Cold Foams
Cold brew and iced matcha are layered with inventive house-made foams ranging from pistachio and bueno to white chocolate.
Bueno matcha is fresh and with a nice taste of bueno, not too sweet and not to mellow, just right. Fun twist on a matcha cold foam drink!
Lena Grande Mediterranean Breakfast Specialties
Morning dishes combine classic brunch formats with vibrant Mediterranean profiles, including harissa hollandaise and Turkish poached eggs with confit lamb.
the crunch the complimenting flavours of chilli oil, yoghurt, perfectly seared shredded lamb with the perfect amount of pickled onion and all the way through cooked pouched eggs
alana gray Attentive, Uplifting Hospitality
Staff regularly go out of their way to deliver thoughtful, personalized gestures like celebratory treats and handwritten cup notes.
Went here for a birthday breakfast and a lovely lady surprised me with a birthday brownie, all of the staff were so friendly and pleasant to be around, even went out of their way to write a little message on the cup.
Bronte Welcoming Coastal Atmosphere
With tabletop card games, outdoor wind protection, and dog-friendly seating, the space is built for relaxed social visits with friends, family, and pets.
Also loved the deck of uno cards and deck of monopoly cards, such a unique touch to the cafe and the environment is great as well.
