Bakeries & Delis

Lil Canteen, Buddina’s favourite cafe by the beach known for its organic, mostly gluten-free menu and famed acai bowls, is opening a second location in Maroochydore's Cotton Tree and we could not be more excited.

The sandwich movement—nay, cult—has slowly but surely made its way to the Sunshine Coast and it's been met with open arms (and even wider mouths). To people who say they could give up bread, we say sandwiches. We say loaded sandos, stacked-to-the-max subs and cheese-stuffed toasties.

It’s well known that the Sunshine Coast is a mecca for health-oriented businesses and we’re pretty damn happy about it. One of the newest health kids on the block, Pantree Wholefoods, is an organic wholefood grocer nestled in Buddina you need to add to your hit-list. Pantree is a small family-owned business grown from a passion for sustainable, waste-free living, and you sure can taste the love. 

When the founder of Sunshine Coast cult-favourite cafe VanillaFood opens a new joint, you expect it to be damn good. Nilla’s Pantry certainly does not disappoint. 

Sure, we all love a good roast chicken, but it hits different when it’s roasted over a flame rotisserie, sourced from local farmers and cooked using family recipes. Let us introduce you to JD’s Chicken Co.

The humble sandwich has come a long way since the days of two slices of bread with deli meat and lettuce stuffed between them. Recent years have seen the simple sandwich receive a gourmet makeover. Think—thick slices of freshly baked sourdough, an endless array of unique fillings and levelling it up by slathering it in butter and toasting it to crispy perfection, if you so desire.

There’s something about a toasted sandwich that hits different. Whether it’s the nostalgia, the just-right crispy bread or the oozing fillings that don’t quite fit between the two slices, toasted sandwiches are on another level. Say hello to The Toast Office, which is a culinary trailblazer changing the sandwich scene on the Sunshine Coast.

A corner store with a little more is the concept behind The Grounds Providore in Parkridge Noosa. Located next to the delectable seafood restaurant FISH, this little one-stop shop stocks a variety of foods and goods for local residents and holidaymakers staying in the new resort-style development.
