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.

Great spot for Brunch snd they do breakfast menu all day. Food was so fresh, poached eggs cooked perfectly & well presented on the plate..Coffee was very nice. A very busy cafe, with constant diners. Good variety of food choices. Staff were friendly and very efficient.

We attended two days in a row. The quality of the food and coffee was excellent - I am a seasoned traveller and used to sampling variable levels of coffee quality. The quality of the coffee at this eatery was excellent and the food they served was very good as well.
The service was excellent. The waiters are quick, efficient, and friendly. We ended overpaying (an error) and the waitress came back with a refund and an apology which we were not expecting.
The food, the coffee, the service, and the experience was all-round brilliant. Strongly recommend a stop at this small but lovely eatery to quietly watch the world go by and admire the deep blue of the sea.

Went for breakfast this morning and was treated to such incredible wait services. They were beyond helpful, helping us keep 2 very active children entertained and feeding 3 fellas that love a feed.
Coffee was magnificent and spice bean eggs were Devine. Highly recommend this place. Opposite a decent Playground for those parents that need a coffee in peace.

My wife and I stayed in Trinity Beach for 5 nights in July and traveled to Palm Beach to have a look around.
With a very healthy food menu and reasonably priced, we decided to eat here for lunch.
The restaurant has a great outlook over the water. We were shown to our table and given menus. We sat there for about 20 minutes and then asked one of the waitresses if someone could take our order. We were told we had to order via our phones at the table or go up to the counter to order and that someone should have told us that when we sat down. Which they did not.
Once we ordered, the food arrived pretty quickly. It was tasty and well presented.
People sat at a table next to us and waited and waited to give their order. We had to tell them how the ordering system worked.
Food was yummy, outlook was great, service not that flash!

We were attracted by the all day breakfast signs displayed out front of the restaurant, so we entered looking forward to trying some great food. Unfortunately "All day" only meant half day as they had closed their kitchen by 2:00pm. Now I know of many places around the world where breakfast finishes at 3:00pm so I was expecting "all day" to mean more. The owner got upset and a little beligerant when I asked about the "all day" signage

Amazing little place to have a cuppa and a feed. We were greeted on arrival by the loveliest man and he was super friendly and informative. There was a wide selection of delicious food and drink options and the service was super fast. We all had the buttermilk pancakes, and OMG, they were absolutely amazing! Would 100% highly recommend this place and will definitely be back on our next visit.

Great food lovely view of sea. Always busy so advise to pre book . Because always busy some of the staff are a little to keen to clear the finished plates from your table even though some of you are still eating .

We eat breakfast at Expresso & Co usually 3 or 4 time during our annual 7 day holiday to Palm Cove. The selection is great and the service is quick and friendly. If you want a reliable place to go for breakfast or lunch, you can't go wrong.

Excellent service and a lovely menu catering for a range of tastes.
Simple, relaxing and refreshing.
We had salad bowls and added a few extras. The crumbed chicken was cooked beautifully and went well with the Quinoa salad.
Lovely view of the beach, quiet and cool on a balmy NQ wet season day

A bustling cafe with an upbeat ambience. Food was delicious - I had the scrambled eggs with sausage. You could taste that it was good quality ingredients. The buttermilk pancakes were not too thick and not too thin. Light and fluffy. 1.5 shot regular sized Cappucino was a bit too milky for my liking so next time I'll get it served in a small cup. The long black was nice and strong. The prices were overall more value for money than other places on the strip.

It took us 2 days over the weekend even to get a seat here. Well worth the wait! Atmosphere comfortable and the aroma wafting through made you hungry even if you were just going for coffee! We ordered a Blat and house banana bread with fresh strawberries and bananas as well as masarcepone and drizzled with honey yum! Iced coffee’s were tasty and left a great taste in your mouth.
Definitely worth a visit!

Had a weeks worth of breaky here, no complaints overall. Food and coffee was very good and consistent, service overall was good, can be busy even at 6am, so wait times are expected. Prices fair for the area, choices typical of many cafes. Limited parking so walk If you can.

This is a small eating place in Williams St Palm Cove which is open for breakfast and lunch daily. Staff here are very friendly. Menu is great with a large range of items to choose from. There is something for everyone. Food is presented well and all food we have ordered has been fresh and very enjoyable. During our 5 day stay in Palm Cove this was our daily lunch spot. They also do takeaways for all items on their menu. Coffee is good also

This place has amazing food, great coffee and excellent service. It is busy and noisy but that is because of the quality… the staff do a great job accommodating the line up of people wanting to dine in. Well done to this little cafe!

Coffee so good you won't want to go anywhere else. This must be well know because whilst we sat for breakfast there was a constant stream of people for takeaway coffees.
Breakfast was quick and delicious. Also beautiful being able to sit outside with a breeze coming off the ocean.
