Location was excellent, views spectacular, staff - extremely good, friendly, helpful. We were told that there would be a long wait before we went ahead and ordered, which we didn't mind with such spectacular views Cappuccino was very hot (good) but really was just a white coffee with cinnamon on top, and as for the baguette - last time I came across anything like this was in a railway cafeteria during the war I'm not used to DIY baguettes. It was ham and onion marmalade. Still haven't found the marmalade! Other patrons seemed to love their Devonshire teas and cakes so next time that's what I will be ordering
We stumbled across this cafe and turned the car around to go here. A lovely cafe with great snacks with a breathtaking view of the glasshouse mountains. There were wild Kangaroos out and mulling about while we enjoyed our coffee and treats.
Fabulous. The light at around 3.30 pm was just gorgeous and made for great photos. We sat out on the deck and marvelled at the beauty. Just had a soy latte and cappuccino with a delicious slice of cake, banana and walnut loaf I think? Can't comment on the rest of the food on offer but it looked good and the prices were reasonable. Totally worth it for that view.
We go to this cafe regularly having found it by accident. Give it a try, the food is brilliant, the staff are really lovely ladies and the environment is gorgeous. I cannot fault it in any way.
We stayed at the stunning Glass on Glasshouse for a romantic weekend away and decided on the morning we checked out to have breakfast at the Lookout Cafe as it's on the same property. It was beautiful and quiet - not busy at all and we were very keen for a lovely calm last morning. We ordered and 20mins after ordering our coffees came out which we thought was a bit ridiculous considering there were only 3 other couples in the cafe at the time. Another 45mins past and we still had not received our breakfast, all we ordered was eggs on toast..not exactly a complicated gourmet dish. After making an enquiry we were told that the chef was new and obviously not coping but we still struggled to understand what he wasn't coping with there was only 2 orders ahead of us and at that point no one had received food the entire time we were there. Once the food finally arrived it was pleasant - by far not the best eggs benedict I've ever received but edible. Once we finished we got up to leave and could see 2 staff in the kitchen just watching the poor chef try and cook the meals. My advice would be to put your other staff to work if the chef isn't coping - have them toast bread or make coffees or get other food prepped to be cooked... We won't be going back sadly.
This really has to be one of the best locations for a coffee and light meal in Glasshouse Mountains. The menu is not very extensive and the smoked salmon needed capers (the waitress didn't even know what these were!). There is so much potential for this cafe the menu needs to be further developed. It is a good spot to stop on your way to the lookout.
Visiting from Canada and our family wanted to show us this beautiful place. Stopped over for tea and to enjoy the view. Absolutely loved the fresh biscuits with cream, wish I had the recipe so that I could enjoy them at home on a cold winters day.Definately wll be back on our next trip back to Australia.
I visited the Lookout Cafe on morning when I needed a little quiet time by myself and found it very good the food was good and the staff very pleasant and it was a nice quiet place to sit and relax and take in the scenery as I love the scenery of the Glasshouse mountains always beautiful and it is a pleasant drive up the mountain
Fantastic spot. Lovely food. Good service. We even got to watch the kangaroos from the verandah which the kids love!
Service wasn't too bad, overall was dissapointed with the meal. The toast was that stale that it was like concrete.. And the coffee was too weak. Amazing view and scenery though
