About Here's Good Cafe (Frogs on Coondoo)

Nestled just off Coondoo Street in Kuranda, this cafe offers a relaxed spot to enjoy a thoughtfully crafted menu that blends local flavors with a touch of adventurous flair. It’s the kind of place where you can settle into the casual outdoor seating under the natural shade, watching native birds and butterflies flit by, making it feel quietly connected to its rainforest surroundings.

The food here tends to lean towards fresh, hearty options that suit a range of tastes—whether you’re after a quick breakfast, a light lunch, or a casual snack. You’ll find a variety of choices, from a refreshing mango smoothie or a smooth latte to more substantial dishes like rice bowls featuring kangaroo karaage or miso-glazed pumpkin with quinoa. There are also simple but satisfying small plates and sides, including crispy beer-battered fries and carefully prepared chicken, alongside healthy salads and gluten-free options that show attention to dietary needs.

This spot tends to attract a mixed crowd—locals looking for a relaxed brunch or lunch, visitors keen to try something a little different off the typical tourist path, and those who appreciate a cafe that feels casual yet mindful. It’s welcoming to solo diners, groups, and families, with good accessibility and a laid-back vibe that invites you to take your time. Whether you’re popping in for a quick coffee and snack before heading to nearby walks or settling in to enjoy the afternoon with a cold local beer and a freshly made meal, the atmosphere tends to be warm and unhurried.

With an easygoing, trendy yet cosy setting, and a menu reflective of the region’s fresh produce and unique flair, it offers more than just a meal—it presents a local pause to enjoy food that’s honest and thoughtfully prepared.

Awesome food. Great friendly staff. Really refreshing beer was just the right way to top off our meal. BLT with Egg & Avocado. Delicious! Lactose free ice cream for dessert was a brilliant way to finish!

Here’s a good spot to grab a quick breakfast or lunch. There is something for everyone from a BLT Burger, Karage Crocodile to Açai bowls and great ice cream and local tap beers. Try to eat early on your visit. Meals are cooked to order and some items can run out. (Crocodile sold out my visit).

It was so nice to sit in a cafe in Kuranda that felt authentic and a little bit away from the tourist zone. While we waited for our food we spotted local butterflies and native birds. Everyone in my group ordered curries which were delicious and clearly made with care. It was a great gluten free option and a hearty meal! The staff were great, we got there late in the day (thankful for a cafe open after 3pm!) and we weren't made to rush at all. The name is a little bit confusing, is it Here's Good or Frogs on Coondoo? The menu has also been recently updated so some on maps aren't correct (fewer gf options than before).

Amazing food, friendly staff, will go out of their way to see that they meet your needs. Coffee is the best in Kuranda, cheap as.

Dropped in for a mid afternoon snack before taking the nearby Skyrail back to Smithfield. Open air ambience with plenty of seating. Good choice of ice cream flavours which hit the spot. Cappuccino was just tight. Friendly and quick service. Reasonable prices.

Great café in the main street of Kuranda between the station and the city centre. Stopped for a refreshing mango smoothie which is absolutely one of the best I've had. Fresh local fruit with a richness in flavour you only get from a ripe mango. Got a bottle of ice cold water while waiting and a friendly chat with the lovely waitress Bailey who happily shared information about the area and what it's like to live in Kuranda. Will be back again in April, and I'm looking forward.
