Tamborine Mountain Coffee Plantation

This boutique mountaintop coffee plantation, the only one in South East Queensland, is a must visit for coffee connoisseurs.

Nestled within beautiful acreage, Tamborine Mountain Coffee Plantation, with its onsite cafe, makes a perfect stopover for day trippers or visitors staying on Tamborine Mountain.

Not only is this the place to get freshly picked and roasted coffee beans (to drink or take home), but you can take tours of the plantation during the week. At the completion of the tour, guests take part in 'winery-style' tastings of coffee from all around the world, with of the coffees offering their own unique flavours and taste profiles.

The beautiful garden cafe is an attraction in its own right, with over half an acre of lawn and al fresco terrace seating, perfect for soaking up the sunshine and fresh mountain air. Here you can indulge in a delicious brunch menu, accompanied by their award-winning coffee, signature cocktails or local beer and wine.

The tempting all-day brunch menu at The Coffee House is a showcase for local producers, with all dietary requirements well catered for. Open from 7am to 3pm weekdays and until 4pm on weekends, you can enjoy everything from house-made granola and Tamborine avos on sourdough to pumpkin pancakes or Shakshuka eggs for breakfast. Delectable lunch options include slow-braised beef cheek pie, Japanese rice bowl or soup of the day served with homemade cheddar and thyme scones. 

Aside from the house-roasted and brewed coffee, the drinks menu includes coffee-based cocktails such as coffee margarita or Irish coffee martini espresso. Local wines are also served here - choose from Witches Falls Cab Sav or Temperanillo and Mason Wines Verdelho or Sauvignon Semillon, while a selection of rotating local craft beers are available on tap.

Tamborine Mountain Coffee Plantation should be on your top list of things to do on a day trip to the mountain, the perfect accompaniment to a lush rainforest walk or a stroll amongst the canopy via the Tamborine Forest Skywalk. Or pay a visit to the Gallery Walk with its art galleries and quirky shops including the famous Cuckoo Clock Nest.
