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.

Easy walk from the CBD is this gorgeous little cafe we discovered, serves the best food.
Breakfast was hot fresh and absolutely delicious, quick service delivered from attentive and welcoming staff,
We sat outside under an outdoor umbrella, with the beautiful sunshine warming us whilst we ate.
Our only regret, we have to fly home today, otherwise we would have loved to explore their delicious looking array of homemade treats, they looked mouthwatering,
Very reasonable on prices with the best coffee we’ve had in FNQ so far.

Came for Brunch on Saturday morning. Was a recommendation from our hotel and understand why.
Great place, fast service with fantastic food. Small but delicious lunch menu with some pre-made items in fridge.
Coffee, Chai and Milkshakes were fantastic. Standard egg and bacon brioche roll at a good price point. Rolled pancakes were a hit for the kids beautifully presented with fresh and dried fruits and flowers this is a huge meal. Star of the table was the Porchetta Benedict definitely gave food envy and would highly recommend for anyone wanting a full me all day meal, the pork, with perfect poached eggs and stewed apple was a fantastic combination.
If you need a take away coffee or a great breakfast spot then head to Mi Piace. Service with a smile, very welcoming and fantastic food!

Let me start with just WOW!!
This would have to be the BEST place for an attentive, modern breakfast with that little bit of extra! Honestly everywhere you look you notice the little things that heighten your experience. The decor is modern, sharp, crisp, classy, clean & inviting.
We were greeted with welcoming smiles that evolved into great service of unasked topped up water, the most amazing almond latte art I have ever seen & tasted next to a modern iced vanilla latte with eco friendly straws. Your servers & service is phenomenal, thank you.
The menu is next level, I mean there is good & than there is GOOD.
The flavours are pair very well with thought out seasonal produce hitting current food trends with clean plating executed with precision! The cake cabinet looks inviting with tasty sweets & savouries for quick bites. Congratulations chef we can taste your passion on the plate, hats off to you & your menu.
The interactive chalk board is a fun flair, what an inspiration to our industry. You should all be very proud of your efforts @ Mi Piace.

Having read the positive reviews on this coffee shop I figured it was worth the walk from the cruise terminal. Was greeted with a lady who started off friendly until I mentioned we would like to sit inside. (There were so many empty tables)I was told abruptly only inside eating if you were eating breakfast. If only having coffee you must sit outside in the heat. In all my years of visiting cafes I have never encountered this before. Coffee was good, the young male waiter was excellent but felt discriminated by the lady who “temporarily” was nice.

Attended due to the high number of good reviews.
Unfortunately very disappointing. $26.00 ea for the special salad, the salad was supplied with minimalist of chicken.
Please be aware and ask for pricing before you order.
The salad was packed with beans and noodles but little else.

I’m in Cairns for a conference and the hotel food is underwhelming. From the reviews and photos I decided to venture out to Mi Piace, and boy, I’m so glad I did. I ordered the Sicilian Ricotta Pancakes and they taste as good as they look. I had an iced coffee,no cream, and it was very smooth. It may not have the Esplanade views, but the cosy, friendly vibe and fantastic, well though-out menu at Mi Piace, means you can stroll down to the shoreline after breakfast.

Amazing Italian cafeteria, beautiful coffee and plenty of pastry options. Great location and nice terrace.
I tried eggs your own way (scrambled with extra of crispy bacon) and one of the best sourdough

Oh my goodness. The service is five star. The food is five star. The crockery and cutlery exquisite. Don’t change anything.
I had a simple muffin and hot chocolate. The muffin was the fluffiest, softest subtle just enough flavour with berries scattered artfully on the plate. Sooooo good.

Good coffee. Magnificent choice of meals from the light to the substantial but all exotic. If I lived in Cairns I would be scared to come every day. I would feel I was over indulging. But heck I am on holidays so why not come back tomorrow. Today was so good. Enjoyed gnocchi with knobs of Italian sausage spec ant topped with a herb and nut salad. And then crowned with a poached egg cooked to a soft runny perfection. Hope I can steel myself to try something different tomorrow. Very different menu. A lot of thought has gone into this operation and the staff do a great job of greeting helping and informing. Highly professional show.

Came here for coffee as it was close to the Aquarium and had great reviews. Friendly and very attentive staff. Coffee was made well but they use Vittoria beans which are bitter and not smooth. We sat outside but it’s just on a busy road so not very relaxing.

Coffee was ordinary
Juices had too much ice
BUT: food was amazing. They absolutely nailed the eggs benedict and the eggplant (original dish) was amazing too.
3 stars for drinks, 5 stars for food

We went twice during our 5 day stay in Cairns and couldn't speak more highly of the meals. The variety and different spin on uncommon breakfast dishes was incredible and we highly recommend. We tried the breakfast gnocchi, porchetta and brunch bruschetta. Everything was well balanced and very enjoyable.
Highly recommend if you're in cairns and want a decent breaky or brunch.

Terrific coffee and exceptional food. Never disappointed, when visiting always made welcome, staff are genuinely friendly and ensure you are served with a smile and a chat. One of the cleanest establishments we have been to throughout Australia. Cannot recommend to highly. Menus never dull and plate combinations both interesting and delicious. Daily specials also worth trying, roast pork first class. Do yourself a favour and go have a coffee.

Had a terrific breakfast this morning. Fantastic service, prompt friendly and professional. Food options on the menu are excellent. Coffee was nice but almond milk tasted too vanilla- ey. Change your brand it’s not good! Overall it was amazing and highly recommend.
