Hail Mary

Hail Mary is a café in Kuranda, Cairns, built around specialty coffee and carefully prepared food. The team describes it as one of the only cafés in Kuranda serving specialty coffee, with attention paid to the process from bean to cup and to the ingredients used in its meals.

The café’s setting is a key part of the experience. Set among Kuranda’s rainforest, Hail Mary offers a natural backdrop for a coffee stop, breakfast or meal. Items named by the venue include the Bacon Benny, Double Cheeseburger, Iced Latte with Cold Foam, Honey Whipped Espresso and Cappuccino, giving visitors a sense of a menu that spans coffee, breakfast and more substantial fare.

Hail Mary’s story is closely tied to its owners. After more than six years working in hospitality, they left Adelaide to take up the opportunity to open their own café in Kuranda. Their aim was to bring the coffee culture they valued back to a new community, and the business places a strong emphasis on care and quality. It suits visitors looking for specialty coffee in a rainforest setting, as well as locals wanting a relaxed café meal in Kuranda.
