Sunkist Eatery is the dash of simple food sunshine within the Oxley—the impressive, new dining and lifestyle precinct on Lavarack Road—that is quickly becoming a local's favourite, serving good vibes and tasty bites.
This new eatery shares The Oxley 1823’s leafy atrium space with Oxley 1823 Sub Station and Buoy Café, a slick cafe from Brodie Green. While Buoy slings out killer coffee with its bites, and the Substation is the hydration station, Sunkist serves café classics and summer staples.
The team behind this village precinct are thrilled with the addition of Sunkist Eatery to the offerings, thanks to a menu that captures the foodie spirit of the coast. “Fresh ingredients and good times—that’s what it’s all about,” said Daniel Veitch, owner of The Oxley 1823.
Sunkist Eatery is the perfect breakfast and lunch pit stop for those looking to socialise and shop, located right beside the entrance to the Oxley Village Grocer, the Oxley Village Butcher and the Oxley Village Deli.
Championing local produce, meat and seafood, the Sunkist Eatery menu has all the breakie favourites from Burcher Muesli, Acai bowls, Bacon and Egg rolls and omelettes, to avo on toast and the Butcher’s Big Breakfast, served from 6am. The lunch menu covers all the classics, including the Butcher’s Burger, chicken and gravy rolls, chicken parmigiana, steak and chips, fish and chips and the good old steak sandwich.
Sunkist also offers seafood options including the Fish tacos with battered snapper, salsa and chipotie aioli as well as the Grilled Bugs & Prawns direct from the trawler served with chilli, garlic and parsley, dressed in olive oil. All can be ordered at the counter, quoting your table number, along with your beverage of choice—juices, iced tea, beer or wine.
Grab a table inside the atrium and enjoy the high roofs, the sea breeze and the lush green space or choose a cute-canopied table outside and soak up the sunny vibes with your Sunkist specialty.
You can’t go wrong with all the goodness of this Sunkist Eatery.
