313 Social is a little gem hidden away a back alley. It's a bar cum foodie haven that serves up everything we love - strong yet smooth coffee, cold beer (plus beer garden, yasss!) AND amazing cocktails. The best bit? It's a place where you can sit back, relax and just chill out! We are loving the art deco vibes, endless supply of cool kids and friendly staff. Did we mention that this place comes equipped with it's own skate ramp?! It's literally the coolest place on the Coast. 

Now, if you say you're not one to enjoy the unpleasantries of camping BUT love the locations, the idea of roasting marshmallows on an open fire and enjoying the beauty that comes along with being one with nature, then don't fret, let us introduce to you... Pitch Luxury Camping. They are the masters of glamping on the Sunshine Coast. 

Think Pinterest worthy, aesthetically pleasing, vintage decor that's going to make your wedding, baby shower or birthday (the list could go on and on..!) not only stand out BUT make your special occasion EXTRA magical.

This French-Mediterranean restaurant is located right in the middle of the uber cool and relaxed Peregian Beach Square. Serving up only the freshest and locally sourced ingredients; think delicious seafood, hand crafted sourdough breads, char grill beef and seasonal vegetables, you’ll think you’re on an European holiday when you dine here peeps. 

If you're one to dream of Parisian bakery delights and the smell of only the finest coffee, then this coffee roastery and in-house bakery is JUST for you!

But, it gets better... at night Circa turns into a bustling pizzeria offering up authentic Italian pizzas. This place is a true foodie paradise that locals and out-of-towners alike are loving. 

Noosa Dreamboats is a truly unforgettable experience to be had on the Coast. This classic mahogany gentlemen's boat was hand crafted in the US and later moved to the Sunshine Coast. Think a timeless style reminiscent of the 1940’s and 50's. This is a dream American powerboat and a rarity in our region. If you’re wanting to experience Noosa at its finest, whether it be for a sandbar picnic or a cruise and dine to celebrate a very special occasion (including proposals and weddings) - you will not be disappointed with this once in a lifetime boating experience. 

Little Sisters Coffee Co. is known for their specialty coffee, tasty treats, local art and amaze vintage slash rediscovered clothing! Created by three sisters, this gem of a place serves up coffee from the best of the best, Clandestino Roasters AND creates decadent options such as their pink cinnamon doughnuts (yum!) plus savory ones like their roast veggie and cheese toastie on locally baked panini. We love everything about this place! From the staff to people, its a great vibe all year 'round. Did we mention their bagels? 

Super plush with all the trimmings, Rickys River Bar + Restaurant is a sleek waterfront establishment that will become the prime reason you and your stomach make the regular pilgrimage to Noosa (if you don’t already live here, that is). It’s a little bit fancy, so ditch the salt-stained denim cut-offs for a crinkle-free dress and whack on a bit of lippy, and you’re all set!

A visit to The Luxe Effect is more than just a booking…it’s an experience. They take their time before your appointment to discuss the look you want and how to best achieve it. They are committed to sculpting beautiful brows that frame each individual face. They even throw in a lil’ tutorial on how to maintain those bad boys post-consult to ensure your brows stay on point long after you leave! If that’s not stellar service, we don’t know what is. 

This espresso bar located in Currimundi is basically where your childhood dreams of decadent sweets and mouthwatering delights can AND will become a reality. They're famous for their donuts with M&M's and nutella injectables. If you need to satisfy your current caffeine cravings this place has you covered. At Sunshine Sunshine Espresso, it's all about passionate service and providing a high end product to their loyal customers. Suitable for any age, this small batch roastery has something for everyone, we guarantee it.

Fellas, if your lady doesn’t mind a bite of rice with something nice tucked inside, Sushi Yah Man is the go for your next date night. Cute décor, good service and lots of outdoor seating for a quiet convo, you really can’t go wrong at one of the best Japanese restaurants on the Sunshine Coast. 

Ricks Artisan Pies & Sourdough is a delightful bakery serving up all our faves with a very special twist. Fancy a gourmet pie or specially baked sourdough? If you love treats like this, Ricks is most certainly the place for you. 

Aimee Provence boasts a high tea parlour that will put the royals to shame. The epitome of refined elegance, their decadent spread features an array of ribbon sandwiches, freshly-baked scones, French macarons, cakes and tempting tarts. Perfect for absolutely any occasion—you’ll leave feeling totally worthy of some magical prince’s inevitable future marriage proposal.  

Hello Trader is a stunning concept store in Maroochydore industrial area. Found in a converted warehouse, this light and bright space is home to Hello Trader’s own hero collection, as well as a handpicked selection of goods from local and international brands and makers. Decked out with stunning textiles (think: antique Moroccan rugs), furniture and homewares, you’d best be putting a max spending limit on your card before stepping inside, or risk going a little cray-cray buying up everything. #noregrets

Haras & Co is a dynamic and creative hair salon located in the prime bustling hub of Peregian Beach Village. The experienced team strive to achieve the wow-factor for every client, so you can expect not only extensive expertise but a dedication to excellent customer service. Plus, who could resist a visit to the salon when it looks as good as Haras & Co. Not us!

If you haven’t been to Collective Haus, AND you call yourself a vintage maven, we’re highly doubting your self-labelled prowess right about now. Because this vintage everything store in Yandina pretty much gives us the butterflies as soon as we walk up the steps. It might not help that we also knock back a cup of their coffee before heading in for the kill, so we’re totally on a caffeine high, which manages to up the eyesight from bordering on blurry to impressive…so all the more take-me-home treasures for us.

A little French nook in Peregian Beach, Le Bon Delice is THE spot to head to cure your macaroon or éclair withdrawals. Beyond, the not-too-sickly sweet treats, these guys serve pretty much the tastiest Oeufs Brouilles—scrambled eggs with chives and prosciutto, served with slow-roasted tomatoes on rustic toast—we’ve had in this hemisphere. Not too dry, not too runny, just right!

Calling all Ramen lovers. Say sayōnara to instant ramen and too-salty broths, and kon’nichiwa to this cute little hot spot. Local ramen fans have been flocking to this somewhat secret hot spot to grab a bowl of goodness ever since Umami Ramen quietly opened. 

Part of The Wharf redevelopment, The Dock is one of the best restaurants and bars in Mooloolaba. Cleverly divided up into several areas, including function rooms, this Sunshine Coast establishment is home to three bars (we know, right?!) and 52 beer taps pouring 16 different brews.

Saltwater Fish & Chippery, a new gem on the river at Mooloolaba, has got to be the coolest little fish and chippery to descend on our sunny shores in yonks. 

This pan-Asian joint wouldn’t be out of place in the back alleyways of Melbourne, and yet it’s us Sunshine Coasters who are the lucky ones getting to call it ours. 

If you don’t venture to Coolum Beach on the reg, you may not know about Canteen Kitchen & Bar, a stellar 2016 addition to the town’s restaurant line-up.

When talking ‘bout the best cafes in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, it would be a crime not to mention Shotgun Espresso. If we owned a hinterland abode, this is how we’d want it to look — mismatched furniture, indoor plants galore and teeming with good food that’s been lovingly prepared.

It's a match made in heaven, maybe even the perfect lifestyle to be found on the Coast. Now, if you say you enjoy craft beer and haven't yet experienced the bliss that is Land & Sea Brewery, then you need to check it out ASAP. Although craft beer can be a scientific process, they take a simple appoach; letting their creativity flow to allow for a unique experience. The fact this gem is located in Noosa just adds to the perfection of the place. We love the beachy aesthetic, smooth craft beer, epic noms and good for the soul vibes. It's possible that we've located paradise with this place.

Mooloolaba Esplanade is home to a tonne of restaurants and cafes, but none are quite like Gainsbourg. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner (Thursday to Sunday), Gainsbourg are pros at creating innovative menus featuring meals that won’t taste like anywhere else you’ve eaten on the Coast.

Sitting across the road from the river, a little white beach shack—the kind that’s conjured up when you think of a relaxed life by the sea—is where you’ll find Coast Store.

Raw + Rice is the Sunshine Coast's first dedicated poke bar, serving deliciously fresh bowls of goodness just a stone's throw from Mooloolaba Beach. 

A genius concept combining a love of custom motorbikes, great nosh and even better tipples, this hip Noosa cafe is part showroom, part café and bar. Open morning ‘til night, Moto is a welcoming space packed out on the daily with locals and tourists looking to indulge in cheap, unpretentious (and ridiculously tasty) meals, strong Clandestino coffee, and when the clock strikes “knock-off”, a range of thirst-quenching alcoholic beverages.

We’re about to make a huge call…Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort has everything your little holiday heart could possibly desire. It’s a big statement, seeing as we don’t know you from a desk of computers, but this deluxe hotel is the true meaning of 5-star accommodation, and that my friends, makes it pretty damn special. 

Nguyen Brothers is the Sunshine Coast's first real-deal, authentic Vietnamese restaurant, opening it's doors in late 2017. 

Coffee is the star at Urban Garden but the TYO (Toast Your Own) bagels with cream cheese are a close runner-up. With espresso bars in Maroochydore and another in Nambour, these coffee maestros are bringing their skills to the Sunny Coast, one suburb at a time.

Get the shear of your holiday at Peregian Beach’s General Officer, where you can browse through the tees, caps, shorts, and artworks in store while you wait.

We can spot a face-lift from a mile away and Noosa Crest’s recent cosmetic update is no different—except that we’re noticing it for all the right reasons! Sitting atop Noosa Hill, this self-contained resort is in a league of its own when it comes to panoramic views of Noosa Heads and beyond. Splurge on a penthouse and you’ll be working on that tan on your very own rooftop deck, complete with a plunge pool for cooling off. Swim, sunbathe, sleep, repeat. We’re already feeling relaxed!

Exotic and more than worth the short drive into the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Spicers Tamarind Retreat is all about luxe with a relaxing, down-to-earth vibe. 

Part coffee shop, part skateboard store, part bar, it’s barely a stretch to say that Stoker in Maroochydore has it all going on.

If you can’t imagine staying in Noosa without curling up at night to the sound of crashing waves licking the shoreline, then we have just the spot! Seahaven Noosa is as beachfront as they come. Saddling Hastings Street on one side and Noosa Main Beach on the other, this contemporary Noosa resort is in a prime position for a cosmopolitan-slash-beach-style holiday.

Canteen Cafe is an always-bustling, all-day eating spot in Noosa Junction. We love these guys for their steamy brews, big breakfasts and #cheatday bowls of nachos when the clock hits ‘lunch’. 

Bombetta wouldn’t be out of place on Bourke Street (let’s be honest, it’s way too cool for Hastings Street). This little Italian gem is every ounce urban chic, with black subway tiles, high ceilings and polished concrete floors throughout the air-conditioned, split-level venue. We’re low-key obsessed with the copper façade on the wine fridge and genuinely considered stealing the Campari poster to take home with us.

The name doesn’t do justice to this seriously awesome boulangerie. Trust us when we say, Noosa Hot Bread Shop is NOT your standard cake shop—it’s next-level stuff. Pretend like you’re in France and munch on a flakey croissant or devour the best croque monsieur this side of the Left Bank—their sourdough with housemade jam is also a winner. 

With mouth-watering pies (the south-west chicken is amazing!), artisan loafs and assorted sweets, it’s worth a visit to the heritage-listed Kenilworth Bakery. 

The Smash Pit is the first of its kind in Queensland, and we’re already wondering where it has been all our lives. Basically, you head into a purpose-built room, kitted out in safety gear, with a bat and a crate of stuff—think crockery and electrical items—then you let out any anger, pain or stress by smashing to smithereens anything within reach. It’s not rocket science, it’s destruction therapy and we bet you’ll leave on a freakin’ high.  

Sometimes you gotta give if you wanna take, and Peppers gives you everything, but in return it will take you a short 1km stroll to get to the beach. A small price to pay for the amount of luxury you’ll be doused in. Think: peaceful national park location, indulgent beauty treatments at Stephanies Ocean Spa and specialty dishes like Szechuan-spiced duck breast served at the resort’s View Restaurant. Visiting Noosa on business? Peppers is home to an 89-seat theatrette and private boardroom for when work and pleasure must mix.

If you’re the kind of person who won’t add anything to a space without some serious thought, or who puts in hours of contemplation for that perfect birthday gift, Stitch Piece Loop is your store. Bursting with little knick-knacks, quality threads and a sweet selection of nursery finds for all those upcoming baby showers, this is the treasure box for anything creative with a one-of-a-kind feel.

Walk through the door of this bustling cafe on Hastings Street and you’ll be greeted with warm smiles, the hum of relaxing tunes and the splendid sight of some incredible food as it is whisked to a table nearby. Seriously though, we challenge you to read through their dishes and not find something you want to try.

The new kids on the barber block, Privateer in Marcoola have gained quite the following since opening earlier this year. Our eyes went all love-hearty over the all black shopfront and from there, well, we were already hooked. Tucked around the corner from some of our foodie faves like Little Boat Espresso and Bulli, if you’re on the hunt for one of the best barbers on the Sunshine Coast and you live around the middle of the Coast, you should be counting your lucky stars, right about now. 

Bohemian. Sundays. Two words that are music to our folky ears. Sitting pretty in Peregian Beach, Bohemian Sundays is the ultimate Sunshine Coast fashion boutique for wandering souls and gypsy hearts. And if that’s not you? Well, you know what they say—if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em! Free People, Arnhem and Auguste, all make turning a little boho not so loco.

With an epic posi on Hastings Street, Bow & Arrow is the place where you can rub shoulders with the likes of Alice McCall, Karen Walker and Faithfull The Brand, right here on the Sunshine Coast. Shop in a boutique setting and then flaunt your picks over lunch at Noosa favourite, Sails.

CGM Pilates offers the ultimate toning Pilates classes on the Sunshine Coast, with a schedule jam-packed with mat, reformer and barre sessions at their gorgeous Maroochydore studio. Whether you consider yourself a Pilates pro, or you're just looking to try something new, CGM will help you on your way to achieving your fitness goals (#beachbod anyone?).

Get your shop on at Alterior Motif, one of the Sunshine Coast’s best fashion boutiques, and you’ll be divvying up your wardrobe space among international brands, Australian favourites and local up-and-comers who you really oughta know. Left the outfit shopping for your friend’s beach wedding to the last minute? Scoot into their Cotton Tree or Noosa Heads stores and you’ll struggle to come out empty-handed. Dress, sunnies, shoes—tick! Oh and those cute Sass and Bide jeans? Might as well grab a pair for the recovery barbecue.

Taking over a space in Cooran, about a 10-minute drive from Pomona, the new Bonsai Brewhouse is spacious and kitted out with plenty of tables, a huge bar and most importantly, loads of in-house beer. 

Opening its doors last month, Riviera Bar & Lounge is a newly refurbed bar within Sofitel Noosa. Fronting Noosa River, this is the only establishment along Hastings Street that grants you sunset views over the river and the opportunity to wave to the SUPers as they paddle on by. Fitted out to resemble a French Riviera feel (as you’ve probs gathered by the name), the star of this space is the covered deck complete with soft, neutral-coloured furnishings, along with candles, shells and the latest copies of all the mags you want to read. 

Somewhere between an inner-city jazz bookshop and an alleyway saloon in New Orleans, The Piano Bar is where you start your Maroochydore bar crawl. After all, everyone knows the wildest nights start as the classiest, and this place oozes sophistication. Conveniently sitting on Ocean Street, kick off the night with a martini (or three) and make it your mission to chow down on as many tapas as possible—their menu is humungous—just make sure you leave room for a cheeseboard at the end.  

The creme de la creme of Sunshine Coast farmers markets, Noosa Farmers Market pulls together local produce peeps, beauty and health products made in the region, and an ever-changing list of street food vendors. Sure, this is one of the best markets on the Sunshine Coast but it’s also home to some of the best breakfasts in Noosa, so we’re warning you: do not eat beforehand. You will regret it.

Locals and tourists make up the hustle and bustle at Cafe Le Monde. This Hastings Street establishment is an oldie but a goodie, keeping Noosa chillers hydrated and fed from morning ‘til late at night. The perfect spot for a lazy break from the beach, take the whole fam for brekkie, lunch or dinner and we promise that no-one will leave hungry. Oh, and if you’ve got a free Thursday night, make a beeline for Le Monde’s special oyster bar, where oysters go for one dollar each from 5pm to 6pm. You won’t find them cheaper anywhere in Noosa. 

Salty breezes, a sprawling deck, live music and some of the best eats on the Sunshine Coast, Peregian Beach Hotel is the laidback restaurant and bar you’ll want to make your local. A short stroll from the beach, sandy bodies are welcome around here and it’s this casual atmosphere that keeps us coming back for more. And then, there’s the food. Cue all of the heart-eye emojis we can muster. 

Getting h-angry on a Friday night ‘cause you don’t know what you want to eat? We’ve all been there! Save the whining and get to the tiny seaside town of Marcoola, where a vacant block in the middle of town turns into a relaxed, fairy-light covered food fiesta. Once a week, you can enjoy Mexican, Thai, Bavarian, Japanese—all in one place. Wrap your taste buds around that, and you’ll see why Marcoola Market is rated one of the best markets on the Sunshine Coast.

Screw diamonds. Flowers are a girl’s best friend. And although we have a few fave florists on the Sunshine Coast, right now, it’s all about Flax Flower Collective.

If you’re enchanted by the picturesque European-chic of Provence but only have a weekend to spare (and frankly, can’t afford the international flight), luxury property Spicers Clovelly Estate has all the charm of an escape to the south of France. And it’s on the Sunshine Coast!

Trust us, you’ll feel good just reading the menu at Evolution Fuel, it’s that healthy. Taking the bar up a notch, their dishes are packed with the good-for-you stuff, can be eaten in or taken away, and, the best bit, they’re pretty cheap. Introducing the Sunshine Coast to poke bowls, these guys have wellness and your stomachs on their mind 24/7.
