About Little Mermaid Cafe Bar

This airy Mermaid Beach corner pairs unhurried coastal morning energy with spiced Persian additions to the classic Australian breakfast circuit. Regulars come through post-swim for bubbling shakshuka, Turkish eggs, and breakfast burgers, lingering over flat whites dusted with mermaid latte art. Split indoor and sheltered outdoor spaces keep table turnover relaxed even through weekend morning peaks, while a dedicated play area occupies younger kids. For milestones like baby showers or casual evening celebrations, private bookings take over tailored indoor-outdoor zones serviced by hands-on owners.

  • Spiced Morning Fare: Persian additions bring unique spice to morning staples like Turkish eggs and rich shakshuka.
  • Breezy Coastal Setting: Airy indoor seating and sunny covered outdoor terraces offer an unhurried, beachside feel.
  • Integrated Kids' Play Area: An on-site play corner keeps young children entertained while parents finish breakfast.
  • Private Function Spaces: Dedicated indoor and outdoor event zones with flexible packages cater to baby showers and parties.

  • Breakfast Burger

    The breakfast burger is a standout dish that is akin to a McDonald's McMuffin but ten times better.

  • Açai Bowls

    My boyfriend and I always come here for their açai bowls, and they never disappoint. They’re super refreshing, packed with flavour, and the perfect way to cool down after the ocean.

  • Shakshuka

    ordered the shakshuka and Turkish eggs. The wait time was around 30 minutes however it was understandable due to how busy it was and absolutely worth the wait.
