Why it's worth checking out
ANNEES sits at the Smithfield shopping precinct on the Captain Cook Highway at Smithfield, in Cairns's northern beaches area. A much-loved cafe, it's become a genuine local favourite — combining quality food and genuinely good coffee with a relaxed, welcoming setting, the kind of standout local that draws devoted regulars.
The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, excellent coffee and a relaxed atmosphere in a convenient Smithfield location, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee or a casual catch-up. A cafe that's nailed both its food and its coffee really stands out, and ANNEES has clearly won over a loyal following in Cairns's north.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 230 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular cafe gets busy on weekend mornings, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a great brunch and an excellent coffee, it's often just a matter of dropping in at ANNEES at Smithfield.
