Went to Chill Cafe with high expectations based on the reviews, but were somewhat disappointed. We were not served and then finally flagged someone down to take our order. The breakfast was good - but not fantastic. It was also very expensive. There are better breakfasts to be had in Palm Cove.

First time visit by locals doing rounds of all cafes and restaurants. Nearly perfect. If had not of witnessed our scones being handled without tongs or gloves....yes grabbed from front counter by hands! Then it would of been perfect.

Wow! What else can I say? This cafe has it all; the location; the atmosphere; the amazing staff; and of course, the equally amazing coffee. Being a coffee lover and a bit of a snob when it comes to coffee, I was in absolute heaven when I tasted my first double shot from Chill Cafe. Being a strict vegan, I... More

We recently stayed in both Cairns and Port Douglas but whilst out exploring stumbled across Chill Café in Palm Cove. What a lovely place to have breakfast or lunch and in my boyfriend’s words “the best soy flat white” he’s ever had! We ate here twice and have to say the Tree Huggers breakfast was just delicious! If you’re partial... More

Enjoyed a breakfast with ocean views. Large menu with some unusual combinations. The mugs of coffee are super sized and the coffee very good size. The meal sizes are generous and filling. We will return tomorrow for another breakfast.

After reading good reviews of this place we expected something better than we received. The coffee was way too bitter for our tastes and the food was average and overpriced for what it was.

As Chill is the #1 eatery in Cairns according to TripAdvisor, we wanted to see what the fuss was about. On the first day we arrived too late for food even though it was lunchtime. We tried again for breakfast and although there were very few customers, breakfast took a long time to appear. Coffee got a thumbs up from... More

My friends and I were recently looking for a nice breakfast in Palm Cove and noticed the sign out front of Chill Cafe claiming to offer "Outstanding Breakfast"... It definitely did not disappoint! The food was great, service was friendly, and atmosphere was lovely. Highly recommended.

We wanted a quick breakfast before our flight home and we got so much more. The food was tasty and the best part was they had an extensive gluten free menu which I could choose from. Being coeliac can be difficult so I love it when I come to somewhere that not only knows what gluten is but can offer... More

We have been here several times now and when the owner is there working the service was fantastic. He must have had a well deserved day off today as the service was poor, more staff were needed and a smiling face was nowhere to be seen. The food is superb and the fresh juices Devine. We will try again before... More
