Back to Basics Organic Cafe

Back to Basics Organic Cafe is a wholefoods café in Kawana Waters, with the venue’s website describing its setting as the Bokarina waterfront. Coffee is a central part of the offering, with AllPress beans used for the café’s drinks and organic milk available. Alongside dine-in coffee, the café prepares organic ready-made meals, freshly baked breads and cakes, cookies, brownies and snacks for takeaway or later. Catering is also available for healthy celebrations.

The menu is designed around a broad range of dietary needs, including keto, paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, low-FODMAP and vegan choices. Breakfast and lunch are served from Tuesday to Sunday, with the kitchen’s seasonal approach reflected in dishes such as Eggs Your Way, Smashed Avoooo, Corn and Zucchini Fritters, the Full Monty and the Sunshine Mango Smoothie Bowl. Other named breakfast dishes include the Yes! Mince!, The Habib and Anti-Inflammatory Golden Grain Pot. The café also lists lunch options including an organic grilled chicken burger, a tropical mango salad and yiros with house-made tzatziki. Dietary adjustments and add-ons are noted throughout the menu, although suitability can depend on the individual dish and preparation.

The space is presented as a relaxed waterfront café with indoor seating and a peaceful deck, finished with a fresh boho-chic style. It suits a casual breakfast, a coffee stop, or a slower meal with friends and family. A children’s menu gives families some straightforward choices, while the ready-made meals and takeaway coffee make the venue practical for people looking for something convenient. Solo visitors can also drop in for coffee, a snack or a meal without needing a special occasion.

Back to Basics positions itself as more than a place to eat, describing the café as a community hub for people interested in healthy, conscious living. Its in-house chef prepares the seasonal breakfast and lunch menu, while the café makes its own breads and sweets and focuses on organic, wholefood ingredients. On Friday to Sunday evenings, the venue extends its offering with Sunset Sips, including wood-fired pizza from That Pizza Guy, cocktails, organic wine and cold beers. The result is a venue that moves from daytime coffee and dietary-friendly meals into a more social waterfront setting later in the week.
