The Farmhouse Kitchen Malanda

Inside The Farmhouse Kitchen Malanda

The Farmhouse Kitchen Malanda is a relaxed, inviting café located right in the heart of Malanda on James Street. It’s the kind of place locals swing by for a straightforward, satisfying breakfast or a reliable coffee fix. The atmosphere feels lively, especially on market days when the café fills up with community members grabbing a bite before heading out or catching up with friends over a cup of coffee.

Regulars appreciate the friendly and approachable service here, which feels casual but attentive. The café’s environment leans into that laid-back, country-town vibe that fits perfectly with its Atherton Tablelands setting.

The coffee is a highlight, often praised for its quality and warmth, making it a favored stop during a morning stroll or a mid-morning break. The food, based on what visitors describe, is fresh and honest. The bacon and egg burger stands out as a popular choice, delivering classic breakfast flavors without fuss.

Visitors who enjoy fresh juices and smoothies will find these well-prepared and refreshingly cold, a welcome accompaniment to the mostly breakfast-oriented menu. While the café draws a crowd all day, the best time to visit is earlier in the day — whether you’re in for a quick coffee or a leisurely breakfast. It’s a welcoming spot for anyone passing through Malanda or locals seeking a dependable start to their day.

A nice place to pop in for a coffee when in Malanda. Friendly staff and very good coffee. The food on display looks nice but I can't comment on it.

Busy cafe on market days. Good coffee and food selection. Chilli eggs needed more chilli oil though. Juices and smoothies nicely chilled and fresh.

Great food, friendly staff and convenient location. I've thoroughly enjoyed all the meals and coffees I've had. Hoping the sushi sandwich special becomes a permanent and the smoked meats continue. Keep up the flavour.

Incredibly fresh quality food. Kitchen closes at 2pm, we ordered just in time; eggs bene and falafel salad plate with added halloumi. Plus fresh made fruit juices (up to 3 flavours). Everything was prepared to perfection & delicious, brilliant to have such fresh healthy dining options for a late lunch - avoiding pubs yet again in Tablelands on a weekday. Thanks team for fitting us in. Hope we eat here again. Sorry for late photo after we started eating, we were so hungry!

Relaxing on a rainy Saturday morning. I followed the smell of fresh food baking and was pleased with the tasty breaky and coffee.
