Kuranda Rainforest Coffee — Restaurant in Kuranda

Australians know how to make excellent coffee, and I am amazed at the quality of the locally grown coffee beans that this business uses. No decaf options are available as it's locally sourced coffee. The staff are very friendly and polite. Excellent desserts. Would be great if they considered serving sandwiches as well.

This quaint cafe might not have comforts such as air conditioning but its coffee is definitely five-stars! The shop roasts, brews, and sells (whole bean and ground) locally-sourced coffee, so let's focus on that. First off, it's nearly impossible to find Australian coffee, even within Australia. You know the single-origin beans will be fresh because they're grown in Kurana Rainforest Coffee's figurative backyard. The coffee, both the medium and so-called strong (aka dark) coffee have a pleasant earthiness without losing complexity. Decidedly un-acidic. Wonderfully aromatic.

Rated #1 for coffee on Kuranda, but I got a bad one. Milk was overheated with no texture, and the flavour was really weak after particularly asking for a double shot and strong coffee.
