Crew

The Verdict

Before you next hit the sand for a beach sesh or the James Street boutiques for a little retail therapy, set your hunger GPS for Crew. Perfectly located for people-watching over a smooth cuppa joe, Crew is the first Queensland cafe by Melbourne’s Inglewood Coffee who also run a bunch of breakfast spots in Victoria.

Crew’s whitewash walls, exposed beams and bentwood chairs create a relaxed come-as-you-are setting that fits seamlessly with Burleigh’s beachy vibe. Kickstart your weekend and tuck into tasty dishes like Hong Kong-style Nutella bubble waffles or rose blossom hot cakes with an optional side of bacon.
