Why it's worth checking out
Melody's licensed cafe sits on the Mooloolaba Esplanade at Mooloolaba, one of the Sunshine Coast's most popular beachside towns. A much-loved cafe, it makes the most of its lovely position — combining quality food and good coffee (and being licensed, a drink too) with a relaxed, easygoing setting near the beach, the kind of welcoming spot that draws a steady stream of regulars.
The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee, the option of a drink and a relaxed atmosphere in a great Mooloolaba Esplanade location near the beach, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee, a casual bite or a relaxed catch-up by the sea. The lovely beachside setting pairs perfectly with a quality licensed cafe, and Melody's has clearly won over a loyal following.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 510 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular cafe gets busy on weekend mornings and over holidays, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a great brunch and a quality coffee near the beach, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Melody's at Mooloolaba.
