Coffee Kitchen The - COOKTOWN

Informed by two locals that i had to try this place. Took a bit to find out down by the wharf but oh boy is there some yummies Rio be had. Forget about calorie counting of you plan a visit here. Lovely friendly service and...More

Wonderful fresh baked French Pastry and Breads. Yummy French omelettes and all sorts of lunch with local fresh produce.

On a recent trip to Cooktown we were strongly advised to visit this Café by our hosts in Kuranda who had been fans when Luc and his wife had a café there. It is closed Tuesday and Wednesday but every other morning Luc starts preparing the whole range of absolutely delicious pastries, bread, pies etc from scratch, starting his day at 2:30am. It is therefore absolutely fresh and amazingly delicious. There are also great breakfast offerings, I had the French Omelette which was 'très magnifique'. This café is a level above anything else we had in Cooktown and it would be remiss of you to fail to find it. Look for the laundromat down at the Jetty area and it is right next door. Very highly recommended, a real slice of la belle France from a native of Bordeaux.Those of you who have been fortunate enough to spend time in France will feel a yearning to return.

I got a tip from the locals that this is the best cafe in town - they weren't wrong! Amazing pies - I had chicken and macadamia. Great desserts. Coffee 5 stars. Right on the water. It is hidden away, to the right of the laundromat. Will be there again!

Stopped in here a couple of times on a recent holiday and was pleasantly surprised. The lady who served us was lovely and the cafe had a nice view. The place was a bit hidden but worth finding this place the huge selection of pies and sausage rolls were the best I've ever had anywhere. Then all the French desserts where fantastic too. They did good breakfast and coffee as well. Anyone going to Cooktown look this this place up you won't be disappointed.
