Cafe Elemento — Restaurant in Sunshine Coast Regional

I chose Café Elemento from Google information, but it proved quite difficult for me, and for Google, actually to find the café. It wasn’t visible from the road, but is in a shopping centre courtyard, opposite Aldi, which has a prominent sign. Anyway, as I was quite hungry by late morning, I parked somewhere near where Google directed me and wandered till I found the café. I’m pleased that I did. There’s an outdoor seating area I could share with my dog. Once in the café, I was immediately impressed with the friendly staff, who made me feel welcome. Breakfast dishes were still available, whereas many places shut breakfast relatively early. I chose the classic eggs, poached, and added sides of mushrooms and a hash brown, for a competitive price. The eggs were large, and poached to perfection. As well as my add ons, the meal came with blistered cherry tomatoes and spinach on sourdough, the whole making for a really colourful and yummy brunch. The accompanying flat white was artistic and flavoursome. The courtyard setting was quiet and a pleasant place to enjoy my meal, including chats with some of the locals visiting the café. Café Elemento is now added to my list of places to visit again when I’m back...

I have been here with family, friends and solo to get some work done and it's always been the...

Used to think this place was the bomb, but have been back a couple of times in the past couple of weeks, and it's gone downhill... For example, the size of the Eggs Benedict has definitely shrunk and the prices have gone up. The shakes have also gotten smaller (you now get them in a medium size glass rather than the large metal cup you used to get them in) and more expensive. Heard other tables around me commenting on the price also. Won't be rushing back...
