Bang & Grind Café Spence St. — Restaurant in Cairns City

I was disappointed with my experience here. It's expensive so I expected a reasonable standard. Firstly the place stinks of fried bacon. You have to wash your clothes when you get home as it stinks.They must have no exhaust extraction in the kitchen? The large coffee only has 2 shots of coffee so that's not normal if you like your coffee tasting like coffee and not flavoured milk.Also the coffee was served just just light warm just not good enough. Lastly the breakfast at $28 was very disappointing because of the following reasons My fish came with spinach which was put on the bread than the eggs on top of that which made the toasted bread wet like terrible. The salmon I ordered was way too salty indicating it's a cheap variety for the price paid just not good enough. This place is really over priced and over...

I had a lovely long black for $5.50.

There are two electrical outlets that I could see, for the digital nomads our there. Also there is wifi here, you be can ask for the password. The chairs are nice.

Look, in so far as Cairns cafes go, this is a good one.

Here is a general statement, that probably belongs somewhere else: Coffee shops in Cairns do not favor digital nomads. They all close at 2 PM, and they rarely have good work tables or outlets. Also, I've often had this strange experience where I can't order until I've chosen a table (Bang & Grind doesn't do this, thankfully).

If I were to try to open a cafe in coffee shop in Cairns, I would have square tables, a multitude of electrical outlets, and I'd be open til 8 pm. If you want to make a lot of money, that's your ticket....

Came to this café on the recommendation of a friend. Saturday early morning. It was very busy, but I found a good outside table and ordered at the counter.

Service was efficient and friendly staff. They warned me that food would take a while as they were busy.

Coffee came promptly. I tried the Screaming Maasai blend as it was the stronger of the two. Not as strong as I had expected. Even though I had a large flat white, it should have included 3 shots…. I will try again but try a small or medium coffee to compare with 2 shots. I like strong coffee with a hint of bitterness after taste.

Poached Eggs on Turkish bread with avocado was delicious.

Plenty of indoor and covered...
