White Picket Fence

White Picket Fence is a relaxed café on Bulcock Street in the heart of Caloundra, just around the corner from the esplanade at Bulcock Beach. Its offering spans breakfast, all-day brunch, lunch, tapas, coffee and drinks, with a licensed setup that includes beer, bubbles and cocktails. The café also caters for takeaway coffee and online Uber Eats orders, making it suitable whether you are settling in for a meal or picking something up on the way through.

The all-day brunch menu is available from early morning into the afternoon and changes with the seasons, so the kitchen regularly introduces new dishes alongside its returning favourites. The venue also runs weekly specials and offers breakfast cocktails and a boozy brunch for those looking for a more indulgent visit. Coffee is a particular focus: White Picket Fence serves The Cat’s Pyjamas blend, roasted locally in Brisbane by Seven Miles, and sells the beans for home use, with grinding available to suit.

The café occupies the former Caloundra nursery, an original building with distinctive brick arch windows. Owners Adam and Caity renovated the space themselves over seven weeks before opening in 2018, turning a previously neglected building into a dining venue with warmth and character. The name refers to their own long-held idea of an ideal lifestyle rather than a literal fence, reflecting the dream behind the business. Their approach has centred on an evolving menu and creative brunch cooking, with the café receiving recognition in local and Queensland dining awards and listings.

White Picket Fence is child and dog friendly, with options intended to make visits easier for families and people bringing their pooch. Its broad food and drinks offering also suits a casual catch-up, a relaxed lunch, a brunch occasion or a solo coffee stop. With food available to eat in, take away and order for delivery, it works for both a planned visit and a convenient Caloundra café break.
