The Edge has fabulous coffees!! Also had the full breakfast, it was nice, but parts were not great. Was a little overpriced for what you got, wasn't a fan of the very chewy bread or the kransky. The service inside was very good, but the wait staff need to pay a little more attention, they gave me the wrong thing.... More

Thanks for the great review ChapmanSar Our Signature (full) Breakfast is always on our menu, but is tweaked every couple of months to keep the different elements interesting for our regulars. The kransky is being trialled, so thank you for your feedback. FYI you can request a change to a Bratwurst if you wish and also request different bread if... More

This used to be the only cafe to go to in Edge Hill and, living down the road, it was very handy. However it has always been very much on the expensive side (a coffee starts at $4 and goes up to $7.20... absurd! Any extras cost 60c). The food is fresh and delicious, but again very pricey. They also... More

The food is great here and the cafe is located in the hub of Edge Hill. The shop stocks some great gourmet foods (jellies, sauces, chocolates etc) and their breakfasts are divine. The coffee is really nice and I have enjoyed just about every meal I have had here. I'm not overly keen on the amount of cyclists who have... More

The Edge Food Store is an amazing food heaven in the heart of Edge Hill Cairns close to the Botanical Gardens. I have been here on several occasions and the sandwiches have been truly delicious. They also brew a wonderful coffee. There are gourmet food items for sale like chutneys, relishes, chocolates, and sweet biscuits. My out of town visitors... More

This is a great place for lunch. The food is fresh, healthy and absolutely delicious. The staff are charming and helpful and the shop is stocked with a great selection of food and lovely chocolates for an after-lunch treat. When I am next back in Cairns I shall certainly go there again.

We are not locals, however we are regular visitors to the Cairns region and have been visiting The Edge Food Store for the last 5 years and this place is always consistent, professional and friendly. As expatriate Melbournians we are a bit funny about coffee, well these guys have been serving Genovese coffee for years and they know how to... More

We are out-of-towners but when we visit Cairns The Edge is top of our list for lunch, and for restocking the pantry with an amazing range of gourmet products. As soon as you step through the door there is a greeting and a friendly smile. In this exceptional cafe/providore both food and service are outstanding. Take a detour through the... More
