Had brekkie at Canteen Coffee located at 23 Park Ave Burliegh Heads Qld. We ordered Butchers Breakfast. Breakfast was amazing and we enjoyed the quality time while eating away from noise at James St. They made their own Kofka (minced lamb with herb sausage) paired with Tomato Chutney sauce taste so good.

I came here for a Saturday morning breakfast with my friend and we were able to be seated right away. Our drinks came out just a few moments before our food. My first thoughts was that my haloumi dish was rather small however I was satisfied by the time I finished it.

Their coffee is the best, their staff are ALWAYS welcoming, polite, and in a lovely mood. You feel at home here. It's a perfect way to start the day after a beach walk or Burleigh Hill walk. So close to it all, yet tucked away enough that it feels like a delicious secret.
