Baaia

Baaia is a little gem of a waterfront cafe in an old Sandgate store, with stunning views across Moreton Bay.

There is a sheltered verandah at Baaia, offering a selection of tables both indoors or outdoors, perfect for enjoying those cool ocean breezes.

The food at this cute cafe is seasonally sourced from local, sustainable producers. They serve great Volare Espresso coffee, as well as a selection of teas, milkshakes, and fresh juices.

Some of Baaia's tempting breakfasts include Middle Eastern baked eggs, field mushrooms with asparagus, and buttermilk pancakes with fresh mangoes and passionfruit coulis. Lunch by the sea comes in the form of porcini and mushroom arancini, house-cured salmon, tart of the day or a range of burgers and sandwiches to eat in or take away.

Need to know - Baaia is dog friendly and child friendly, offering separate kid's breakfast and lunch menus including, ham and cheese pizzas, fish and chips and mini cheese burgers.

Nice to know - Breakfast is served at Baaia until 11.30am. Lunch is served from 12 noon.

In a nutshell: Sustainable food and coffee overlooking a soothing waterfront vista.
