Ordered take away chicken wrap my friends ordered a wrap and a salad. It took between 15 and 20 minutes for the food to be made. The food cost $12 each for a wrap which is about $4 to expensive for a wrap. The staff weren't very helpful and didn't know the menu. Overall disappointing experience.

Really nice looking cafe, service from wait staff average except the lovely blonde who seems to be the most experienced one. Food taste good but expensive. Coffee is good.

These guys now how to make a proper coffee. Best Coffee in town. Might be a bit $$ but very worth it. Very friendly service.

Nice juices and standard fare. A bit on the pricey side but a nice choice if you want a decent lunch with fresh produce.

I arrived in Cairns on a national holiday when many restaurants were closed. This one was busy and full of locals so I decided to try it for breakfast. I liked it so much I went back for lunch. The food is great and reasonably priced.

After eating at other restaurants for breakfast,and having the same thing Eggs Benedict, we. found this gem this is the place, also the coffee is great. Have been next door for breakfast but this place beats it hands down for coffee and eggs.

My mum and I had an excellent breakfast at Dolce Andy cafe. 2 fantastic juices, coffee and Bircher muesli with fruit salad. The food was fresh, well presented, tasty and well priced for the quality. The service was friendly and efficient although you need to go and pick up a menu then order at the counter.

The Bircher Muesli is the best I have had, although a little rich. The service is a little slow because they tend to pack a lot of diners into a very small space. Some great choices for breakfast and lunch. Good coffee too.

Severely overpriced food, crap coffee. Used to be a frequent customer but will not return now. Staff are waaaay too fake and in your face.

I get to Cairns a fair bit for work and just did a week there with the family. We tried some of the other recommended breakfast spots but kept coming back to D&C for the following reasons: - fresh juice - get whatever combo you want. - muesli - if it's not house made it is a quality product. -...
