Detours Cafe
If you find yourself passing through Bulahdelah, let Detours Cafe be your unmissable pit stop. Nestled at 82 Stroud St, this charming cafe embodies the perfect blend of comfort and culinary delight, making it a haven for both locals and travelers alike.
Detours Cafe stands out for its broad and inviting menu that caters to a variety of tastes. Whether you’re craving a hearty sandwich filled with fresh tomatoes, gooey cheese, or a satisfying meat and salad combination, this cafe knows how to tantalize your taste buds. Their light meals are particularly noteworthy; the Spicy Lamb Burger and the Fish, Chips & Salad come highly recommended, delivering generous portions that are both deliciously filling and beautifully presented.
The eclectic menu doesn’t stop there. Guests rave about the Bacon & Egg Roll, boasting thick layers of perfectly cooked bacon nestled between warm, toasted bread—ideal for breakfast or a midday snack. For something lighter, try their Turkish Special B.L.T or opt for a plate of crispy Potato Scallops as a side.
The atmosphere at Detours Cafe is equally inviting. With a clean and cozy interior complemented by friendly staff who keep service swift yet warm, it creates a space where you feel right at home while enjoying your meal. As one pleased patron, Ian Hamilton, noted, “the service was welcoming and the food delicious,” making it a delightful experience that’s genuinely worth the detour.
But don’t just take our word for it. Visitors like Sandra Beynon have praised the cafe for its “outstanding chef and presentation,” highlighting that even the coffee—a crucial test for any cafe—is great, even for those with picky tastes. Meanwhile, Leanne from the Whitsundays was pleasantly surprised by her $19 fish burger meal, which surpassed her expectations both in size and flavor.
Detours Cafe even caters to sweet tooths with a delightful selection of cakes, making it an excellent spot to unwind with a coffee in hand, as Don Dunn discovered when he enjoyed multiple rations of bacon alongside his brew. And don't forget to try their scrumptious Pies too, as Charmayne Wright and her family can attest, as she mentioned their quick service and beautiful presentation.
So whether you’re on a scenic road trip or just in need of a lively lunch spot, Detours Cafe offers a unique experience enriched by flavorful dishes, friendly service, and a commitment to quality. Stop by and see for yourself—you might find it’s the best detour you’ve ever taken!
