Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Pretty good

June 2022 • couples

We arrived around 10am on a Friday and just managed to get a table....they were so busy! We were told the food would be about half hour which was fine as we were not in a hurry. It did look like they were a staff member short though as they were all under the pump. Once the food arrived it was really good. Poached eggs were perfect and the hot chocolate deliciously hot! My partner had a coffee that tasted good but wasn't hot enough. But both our Eggs Benedict and Healthy Breakfast were very tasty. We went back again on Monday and unfortunately the experience wasn't as good. After waiting 35 minutes for our order (and not being told there was a wait), I asked what was happening only to be told the chef hadn't even started cooking it yet. Unfortunately we had another appointment to get to so we had to cancel our order. Really wasn't good enough...no apology or explanation but they refunded our breakfast. I'd go back again but our last experience left a sour taste...

Fell of the Deck

Nov 2022 • couples

Wouldn’t go back to this place. The two unenthusiastic teenage girls behind the counter barley acknowledged me. They were busy giggling about the loud inappropriate music that was playing then focusing on their customers. Who wants to listen to blaring Shaggy at 9am while trying to relax. Coffee was ok. Not many options at sunshine beach to choose from for breakfast but would rather fall off the Deck then go back go this place.

Light lunch.

Jan 2020 • couples

This cafe has a relaxing casual atmosohere with friendly service and dog friendly too. The menu is comprehensive and reasonably priced. A new awning has recently been installed to provide more shade in the mornings. The view is good and newspapers and magazines are provided, but the toilets are a bit limited. Well worth a visit and rated about 8 out of 10.

Great breakfast and coffee

Jan 2020 • family

We had breakfast at the Deck this morning, somewhat apprehensively given a few poor reviews on this site, and we really enjoyed it. My latte was very good, nice and smooth in a small glass. I got the smashed avo with a side of poached eggs and the avo was delish, thickly applied too. My sons had the pancake stack with a side of bacon and their serves were generous and they rated the fluffy pancakes. The service was efficient and polite and we were served very quickly. Would definitely eat there again.

Needs improvement.

Jan 2020 • none

The service was very good. Didn’t take long to receive our burgers because it seemed that the bacon, pattie and chips were all pre cooked and had dried out. The bacon was hard and the chips looked liked they had been cooked a few times. Really how long does it take to fry bacon and cook chips to order. Very little dried out chicken in the salad that was placed on top of a bowl of lettuce. Had to look hard to find the tomato and feta. The coffee was nice. The deck was was good, shady and breezy. Ni

Not good!

June 2020 • couples

It wasn’t busy and there were restrictions of 32 people max due toncovid. We ordered ham & cheese toast and Healthy Choice breakfast which was 2 small slices of bread, 2 poached eggs, some salad leaves and tomato salsa which was just cubed tomatoes with some onion. This took 45 minutes to get on the table. No culinary skill whatsoever, very basic food. I was still hungry after eating the Healthy Choice brekki. Don’t recommend.

What a shame. Place is patchy at best :-(

Mar 2023 • none

I've been going to this place for 20 years. It used to be a standout. Best coffee in Noosa back then, and fabulous food, especially breakfast.... and the heavenly cheese and chive muffins. . But more recent visits over the past 18 months have been disappointing. The attitudes of the young staff in place range from disinterested to sullen. No point in voicing my opinion to ears already not interested. After a hiatus of several weeks, I decided to try again with a friend. I had also arranged a further meeting on the upcoming Thursday. I was planning on my fave muffin, but first we had coffee. It was dreadful. Only half full and watery. No crema at all on the long blacks. Then I realised the owner was there - someone I could express my concerns to. I told him my coffee was not acceptable and that I'd seen a backslide in the place in recent times. I was astonished that without asking for detail, he cut me off and told me never to come back. He replaced the coffee, which he made himself this time and which was quite fine, and refunded the $5. The last time I was there I paid $6.50 for a long black decaf. I tried once more to pour oil on troubled waters, as I could see he was stressed and am not happy with confrontation, but to no avail. He angrily explained that he was "giving young people a go" . Now that is commendable, but if you truly want to do that, you train them to provide good service and produce decent coffee so that they can carry these skills with them to future employment. I see from reading other reviews that this has been an issue for more people than just me. I understand that this Covid stuff has put businesses under pressure - not just the Deck. But to lift morale, he might try respecting a long time regular local, training his staff to a professional level and reserving his anger for the gymnasium. Needless to say, I have found another venue for Thursday's engagement.

Best Breakfast, Brunch, Sunshine Beach Noosa.

Mar 2023 • friends

As a frequent visitor to Noosa, Breakfast, Brunch or Lunch are great occasions at The Deck. The young staff are polite, efficient and accommodating, our party size, never a problem as they will put tables together happily. The food has always been fresh, cooked perfectly and served efficiently. The location, sitting in the sun drenched area with excellent shade has made all the occasions memorable. Well done to the young, well trained team.

Best coffee on Duke St

Mar 2022 • none

We're from Melbourne so we know a good coffee and was impressed by the ones we had at The Deck. Hot - not lukewarm like so many others and also have great toasties and wraps and juices, along with being the best breakfast place on the strip. Always popular and very busy, especially on weekends

Another great place

Mar 2023 • friends

We have been travelling with a big group (20+) along the east coast and this was our favourite coffee and breakfast spot (not because it’s owned by a Dutchie, that’s just coincidence). Easy to walk in with a big group without reservation. Just a few steps away from the beach. Great coffee, simple but good food menu (loved the eggs benedict and the barramundi burger is absolutely great). If just another trendy urban cafe is your thing, then this is probably not the place, but we loved the friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Certainly family friendly.

Bliss!

Feb 2023 • couples

Sadly with the Pandemic we haven’t ventured to Noosa for over 3 years. We walk down from Noosa to Sunshine Beach regularly- possibly the best day walk on the planet. We were delighted to find that “The Deck with Ray at the helm was alive and well. Further, Ray delved into some old family recipe book and produced the international renowned “Citrus Bliss”. This must be the finest blend of citrus juice on the planet- ask for it by name; you won’t be disappointed! The Deck is a marvellous place to go; friendly fast service; great food and drink. Your missing out if you go elsewhere! Great to see you agin Ray and The Deck- well done!

Rude and obnoxious server

Aug 2023 • family

Food was nice, girl working the kitchen was on it and working hard. Front of house was terrible, especially considering it was not at all busy. Never got the water was asked for 3 times, had to clear our own table and after ordering and receiving the wrong drink he told us what we ordered was “not how we do it here”. We had to get the menu and show him “how they did it” so he would remake it. No apology, just a grunt. Shame, has potential.

Convenient Location with Tasty Food

Mar 2023 • business

I needed to meet a client I consult for in Noosa. Our meetings were in the late afternoon, early evening and dinner. Having much free time before these meetings, I spent the morning/early afternoon hours at the beach. I found the Deck to be a convenient place to eat and meet. I had a couple of brunches (the pancake stack was delicious) and a lunch (the barramundi burger was surprisingly good) there. Overall, food was very good, and the service was acceptable. Worth stopping by.
