Ok looks like I've found a good place.
Have a look at
Bulli Cafe at Marcoola.
Its in a quiet little street with a reasonable amount of street parking and you generally can see your cars from the front of the café. By all reports the food and coffee are great.
I haven't as yet spoken to the owner about our visit but it looks like it opens at 8am on Sundays AND as a bonus for those that don't get to it very often, the beach is directly across the road so you could go for a nice swim should you feel the urge.
I think this is a goer for SCCnC3. As long as the weather is good (I'll post up on this topic the night before that we're ON (no rain)) how many of us do we think will be joining in so as I can give the owner a rough idea?
I'd suggest we all still meet at Ettamogah at 7, depart 7.15/7.30 head up the Sunshine Coast Motorway, taking the Mudjimba exit north of the Maroochy River, then up past the Sunshine Coast Airport and turn right just before what was once a great resort Hyatt Coolum...... till Palmer Fluffed it!
It'll then be an 8am coffee and breaky and leave whenever you care. I'll head about 9.30 for the usual Sunday morning session for 3 yo's swimming lessons. :-)
