The Beachfront Café
Do you do latte, cappuccino, or flat white? Perhaps a milkshake or a pot of tea and a scone? Or even a scrumptious ice cream sundae?
Popular with locals and tourists alike, the café at Coolum Surf Club is open Monday to Saturday from 10 am and from 8 am on Sunday. Why not join us for a morning tea get-together and enjoy the lively atmosphere on the deck? Or perhaps an afternoon pick-me-up in the lounge? You can even grab a takeaway coffee and stroll the few metres back down to the best beach on the Sunny Coast! And with our hand-crafted ice cream sundaes, afternoon tea at the Coolum Surf Club will very quickly become your little ones’ favourite.
Coolum Surf Club also proudly uses Eumundi Coffee Co. Established by a group of friends who have worked together in the specialty coffee industry for over a decade, their matured ambitions have grown from humble roasters to a coffee community focused on the development of the industry as a whole, all while producing great coffee.
Cafe Hours: Monday to Saturday from 10 am and Sunday from 8 am.

Andy Neal | Head Chef
Andy began his career in NSW over 30 years ago working in fine-dining restaurants – and at the age of 21, he became one of the youngest head chefs in Sydney.

Andy joined the Coolum Surf Club family in Winter of 2016 and is passionate about the vital role the Supporters Club plays in helping the Surf Life Saving Club keep our beach safe. He is also passionate about cooking steaks to perfection on our wood-fired chargrill. Andy is a proud NRL supporter – and in his younger days, pulled on a jersey for his beloved Parramatta. Being a Blues supporter, make sure you remind him next time you’re in about how good the Maroons are! He also loves water sports and is a keen fisherman.
