Why it's worth checking out
By The Way sits on Maud Street in Maroochydore, one of the Sunshine Coast's main hubs. A strong 4.8 rating across 137 reviews — a remarkable score for that many — marks it as a genuine local favourite.
The appeal is a consistently well-loved cafe with a devoted following — somewhere to settle in for a great coffee, breakfast, brunch or a bite and a catch-up, the kind of quality that keeps locals coming back. Its Maroochydore location makes it an easy and welcoming stop.
Cafe menus, specials and trading hours change over time, and weekends can get busy. If you're after a particular dish or specific opening hours, it's worth confirming the current details directly with the cafe before you head over.
