Nestled within a lush tropical garden, Shanti Cafe is a Mission Beach favourite bursting with flavours, warmth and a friendly atmosphere. 

Diners can enjoy their meals surrounded by two World Heritage Wonders; The Great Barrier Reef on one side and the Wet Tropical Rainforest on the other.

The menu is packed with soulful staples, with breakfast and lunch served daily between 6:30-12 weekdays and 6:30-1:00pm on weekends.

One of the highlights from their breakfast menu is the Mexi Beans (pictured) which is beautifully presented, rich in flavour, and is suitable for both vegetarians and for those who need to dine gluten free. The menu also includes a range of other vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free options.

A fully stocked homemade sweet treat & pastry display adds to the charm which features, amongst many other options, Banana Bread, Carrot Cake, Croissants and Sausage Rolls – all made in-house.

Beyond the food, Shanti Cafe is a hub for some of the most popular community events within Mission Beach.

Science in the Pub brings a thought-provoking presentation from a keynote speaker, usually followed by a lively Q&A from the audience. Twenty25 offers a fast-paced format that sees three speakers tackling a format limited to 20 slides, with just 25 seconds to explain each slide. The Cafe also hosts international cuisine nights, giving the kitchen a chance to showcase a limited but flavourful evening menu.

For updates on upcoming events, diners are encouraged to check out Shanti Cafe Facebook page or pop by the cafe and see what the fuss is all about!
