About Soul Foods Coffee

Tucked away in the relaxed coastal vibes of Pacific Paradise, this cafe offers a welcome spot for a quiet breakfast, a casual lunch, or a slow coffee break. The menu leans into fresh, wholesome options with a distinctive Vietnamese influence woven through dishes like banh mi and broken rice bowls, alongside crowd-pleasers such as Massaman chicken and Paleo muffins. It's the kind of place where you can enjoy something light and healthy, sip on a vibrant fresh juice or smoothie, or settle in with a solid brew made from thoughtfully sourced coffee beans.

Inside, the atmosphere is laid-back yet lively, attracting a mix of locals, families, and visitors who appreciate comfort with a bit of flair. The casual setting accommodates solo diners working away on their laptops as easily as families with kids, with thoughtful touches like wheelchair-accessible seating and a kids' menu. Parking is straightforward with plenty of free options nearby, making it convenient even during busier times.

Those who frequent the spot often return for more than just the drinks — the ready-made meals and takeaway options also draw a steady crowd looking for something flavourful and convenient, whether it’s for a quick bite or a relaxed weekend brunch. The blend of familiar and slightly adventurous dishes gives the cafe a genuine, lived-in feel that fits well within its beachside neighborhood.

Lovely little cafe with nice coffee. I also bought a few frozen meals from the freezer to take home. The green chicken curry was superb, and I just cooked up some Jasmin rice to go with it. Yet to try the massaman beef but it looks great and generous serves.

Busy local cafe. Bánh mì is absolutely amazing. Definitely worth the 40 minutes drive Highly recommended

Joshua Wong From Google 5

This cafe is a relaxed & welcoming spot that does more than just great coffee and juices! Along with their smooth brews, they offer a range of ready-made meals like pies, rolls & sandwiches in the fridge, & offering drinks like smoothies, coffee, and fresh juices. What really stands out is the Vietnamese twist they bring to their menu — from delicious banh mi & bun bowls to flavour-packed broken rice / noodle dishes - they also have ready made frozen Viet meals! The space feels open and inviting, perfect for a casual meal or a catch-up. Personally, their giant banh mi is easily one of the best I had on the Sunny Coast — damn generous with the fillings, full of vibrant flavour through their butter & pâté; super satisfying. Highly recommended!

Henry, Roxy and the team know exactly how to hit the spot, soothe the soul and reset your nervous system before you walk back out the door. From the coffee to the food to the service, this local gem in Marcoola lives up to its name. We have never had a bad experience and come here multiple times a week.

My family of 5 and I have been eating banh mi and pho here for over 2 years and it has never disappointed us. It's clean and great. The prices are quite cheap compared to all the places in Sunshine Coast that I've been to. I'm sure it won't disappoint you.

Stuart Buck From Google 5

Really good banh mi. The bread had the perfect consistency, still fluffy with just the right amount of light crispyness. Had the crispy port banh mi. Was really really good. Best banh mi I've had on the Sunshine coast. Rice paper rolls were also very good.

Stellina Gunn From Google 5

Very tasty banh mi and good iced coffee. The service was friendly and attentive. A great local cafe - lots of people popping in for their takeaway lunch.

Michelle McIntosh From Google 5

The BEST banh mi on the coast! They also sell great coffee, lots of different smoothies and juices, Vietnamese rice paper rolls and baked goods. They also have some normal Aussie brekkies too.
