About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Hot spot
  • Great for outdoor dining
Café Junie invites you to a bright, breezy brunch escape where the European-coastal white-washed arches meet modern Asian flavour twists.

On the plate you’ll find signature dishes like the chilli scram, whipped goat cheese, roasted peanuts, crispy chilli oil and micro coriander laid atop soft flatbread — and a luxe take on eggs Benedict with yuzu hollandaise served over house-made hash browns. The menu extends to a bang-bang chicken salad with miso-sesame chilli dressing, a wagyu ragù cheeseburger with umami salt fries, and fresh pastries alongside superb coffee from Blackboard and vibrant matcha offerings.

Cafe Junie curates more than just food, the vibe is sun-drenched, stylish and calm, perfect for a long brunch, casual catch-up or a relaxed coffee stop. With an open-air feel, dog-friendly courtyard and a menu that blends comfort classics with Japanese-inspired flair, this cafe is a must-visit for weekend brunch lovers on the Gold Coast.

    Welcoming staff. Very good coffee , food a little slow to arrive but worth the wait. Was a bit noisy but not unbearable. Would recommend.

    Rushed us through our meals. Staff a little odd to be honest. Food was delicious. No sparking wine by the glass was very odd. Wouldnt go back in a hurry.

    Great little date night, especially if you don’t want to think about what you’re ordering as the menu is small but packs a punch! Definitely an indulgent meal - we had the karaage and the cheeseburger & fries. We snuck in for the last night of the $15 burgers but even at $20 they would be well worth a try.
