Why it's worth checking out
Wharf ONE Cafe sits on Trinity Wharf in Cairns City, on the waterfront in the tropical-north Queensland hub. A much-loved cafe, it makes the most of its lovely waterside position — combining quality food and good coffee with a relaxed, characterful setting and gorgeous views over the water, the kind of welcoming spot perfect for a bite or a coffee by the harbour.
The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a beautiful waterfront Trinity Wharf location, ideal for a leisurely breakfast, a relaxed lunch or a coffee with lovely water views. The gorgeous waterside setting alone makes it a standout, and Wharf ONE has clearly won over both locals and the many visitors to Cairns.

Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular waterfront cafe gets busy on weekend mornings, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a quality bite and a coffee by the water, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Wharf ONE Cafe in Cairns.
