Elevation Cafe — Restaurant in Tamborine Mountain

I recently embarked on a culinary quest at Elevation Cafe. Arriving at 12, I was excited by the eclectic fittings and wonderful atmosphere. I ordered the Bruschetta and a House Made Juice. The Juice consisted of apple, pineapple, ginger and ice, mainly ice, an incredibly large amount of ice.
