    Best coffee in Cairns by far. Great espresso, well textured milk. Also do a fantastic cold brew. They just have the all round passion and technique along with a great spot to consistently be a winner. Great food too.

    Definitely great coffee - I used to be an irregular regular but started searching around when there was a little inconsistency. I recently returned for lunch and a coffee. It was great (lunch not exactly cheap for a funky cafe, but worth the price). Fresh beans, friendly service just a shame... Read more

    Coffee good, texture of milk a bit to thin for my liking. Temperature perfect.

    Was hanging out for a great coffee Easter Saturday ...asked for a 3/4 latte, friendly guy at the counter didn't know if they served 3/4'ers. Barista confirmed in grumpy manner he could do them. Taste was smooth and full bodied, one came cold; however I'd rate it in the speciality coffee realm which... Read more

    Easily the best cafe in Cairns- quite a melbourne feel: relaxed and good food! Worth travelling for!

    Fantastic atmosphere. Coffee was pretty good too. My cappuccino was reasonably strong and not overly bitter. If I was a local, I would be a regular.

    This place was an awesome find for us travelling from Brisbane. Awesome atmos, love the graffitoed alleyway, very funky seating and the staff were very very friendly and keen to please. But, the best by far was the food - the 5 of us all ordered something different and it was all delish! My decaf... Read more

    Had to just check with a takeaway, I was right. Fantastic coffee. Di Gabriel beans were beautiful.

    Best coffee I've had in Cairns city so far. The barista is not afraid to show off the flavor of his coffee, and there is alot of flavour in the cup. Although the coffee tasted a little on the burnt side, it was still much better than anything else I've had up here lately. Friendly service and a... Read more

    Absolutely beautiful coffee, the best I've had in Cairns. Just a bit hard to find because it's in an arcade and the sign is not prominent. Well worth looking for, though.

    What a perfect little place, tucked away off Grafton St. Nice little outdoor area too.... next to an awesome graffitied alleyway, very Melbourne-like. Strong focus on quality coffee, serving single origins. These guys know what they\'re doing. Delicious menu, friendly staff. Highly recommended.

    Without a doubt my favourite caffeine top up location in Cairns. Flawless doppio ristrettos and quirky food menu. I love the atmosphere, but especially that I am treated like a Princess on every single visit.

    Again love this place. Got beans from there and they were excellent was pulling out some amazing coffees with those. The barista was awesome to talk to and he made an excellent ristretto. Wouldn't consider any other place for my coffees.

    Piccolo latte: good robust brew, slightly acidic but moreish. Should have asked where the milk was from as it imparted a fair bit, maybe too much flavour. Good location down the alley way, no need for air con as a nice breeze rolls through. Top breakfast too.

    Absolutely kick ass coffee! The tunes were sweet and the mix of locals and travellers created a really nice vibe. Big congrats to the barista, Oliver on his success in the Cairns regional competition. I hope you go on to do well at the next levels!

    Been coming to Cairns for years and always been disappointed with the standard of coffee. That was until I found Caffiend. Coffee rivals any I've had anywhere.

    We where looking for great coffee place in Cairns, after trying below-average coffee place we found Caffiend Cafe and Oliver the barista.

    If you truly enjoy coffee then Caffiend is the place to go. Apart from the awesome ambiance and cool vibes the coffee is sensational, no matter what your favourite brew may be. Try the cold drip single origin on a hot day, it will cool you down and give you a caffeine kick. The food is also top... Read more
