Aromas Noosa
You can visit for breakfast, lunch and dinner, happy in the knowledge that their organic, seasonal menu is from food grown at their very own hinterland property at Maravista Farm. Their soil is kept healthy by using compost made from vegetable waste and coffee grinds from their Ogilvie Group of restaurants, completing the circle from pasture to plate – so cool.
With tables spilling onto Hastings Street, it’s a great spot to people watch while you enjoy all the classic food you’d expect from a café.
Swing by for a guilt-free coffee, lovingly poured in custom takeaway cups, which are certified biodegradable and compostable, and a slice of cake that’s packed in containers with cutlery made from biodegradable wood and cardboard – yah!

Their sourdough breads incorporate ancient grains, fresh milled flour and wheat free stoneground whole spelt flours using ‘old world’ techniques to harness the incredible flavours that sourdough is known for.
