Hi.

Welcome to A Sunnier Life. Here you will find adventures in travel, style, and food on the Sunshine Coast and beyond. Hope you have a nice stay!

Grounded Woombye

Grounded Woombye

There are cute coffee shops all over the Sunshine Coast but we found one that we will be visiting on repeat in a very unassuming spot.

The adorable tiny café, Grounded, is found in Woombye, a small township just past the Big Pineapple.

This place not only looks cute, it delivers on the coffee front too.

You can’t miss Grounded in Woombye with its fresh white paint job and outdoor seating area complete with straw umbrellas and some water bowls around for your four-legged friends. There are a couple of tables inside should the weather make you want to hide.

On the all-day menu you’ll get everything from an old-fashioned burger to a Japanese pancakes. Sit on the street out front and admire the slow-paced countryside. You might even spot a few horses casually strolling by.

For those that need it, there are dairy-free and gluten-free options, and a kid’s menu too.

What caught my eye was the incredible – and we mean incredible – array of baked goods on display inside as well. If it could have managed it after devouring the black rice porridge for breakfast, one of those bee sting pastries or a doughnut pretzel would be in my belly right now.

Luckily for me, Woombye is now my local and I have been back for a rich coffee on the way to work a couple of times.

Grounded Woombye is petite so you wouldn’t want to come with a massive group of friends but its size is part of its appeal.

Open for breakfast and lunch seven days a week, this is a great, out of the way spot to check out. They also do regular special nights with live music if you keep and eye out!
