Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Thank you to the Kingscliff team at The Salt Mill. I’ve been dropping by here on and off for about 4 or 5 years. The food is so consistently good. Delicious Açai bowls. The toasted bagel with cheese, tomato and pesto is so filling it sometimes covers two meals for me. The breakfast wrap is a tasty option too. Always kind, efficient service and a relaxed vibe. Thank you!"
"Yes!! Whats not to love? Great coffees and pastries and Acai or Pitaya bowls loaded with deliciousness. Sit and enjoy in the sun on the tables, or inside. Or take your bowl and coffee to the beach across the road."
"Went here based on other Google Reviews, and wasn't disappointed. Coffee was excellent, and ordered an acai bowl and avo toast which were great."
"The coffee here is the best of all the great coffee in Kingscliff, IMHO. Rich, sweet chocolatey with some hazelnut. The pre-prepared sandwiches, croissants and other goodies in the display cabinet also looked delicious. Service was fast and friendly. Went back to try the food. The first half of the Rueben was delicious, but by the end of the second half, the intensity of the pickles and the sauerkraut started to overpower cheese and corned beef. The ham and cheese croissant was nice, albeit squashed by the sandwich press. I know everyone does it, and it seems strange to squash out the fluffiness that the baker worked so hard to get. Microwave does a much better job. Sitting in the cool attached eating area, it seemed strange to be eating and drinking out of takeaway cardboard, surrounded by the abundant eco-friendly, reusable eatware."
"LOVE this place! They do great tea & coffee, sandwiches & one of the best Bircher cups that I've had in a long while. The staff are terrific too... we'll miss our daily visits when we go back to Sydney next week!"
"I recently ordered two coffees and a pear Danish from this spot in Kingscliff. I was pleasantly surprised when the lady at the counter told me my order would be ready in just “2 minutes.” However, it ended up taking over 15 minutes. Had I known, I could have easily gone for a walk instead of waiting around on my phone. That said, the quality made up for the wait. The coffee is probably the best you’ll find in Kingscliff—smooth, rich, and just what I needed. The pear Danish was also delicious: fresh, flaky, and perfectly sweet. Overall: If you’re after top-notch coffee and a tasty pastry, this place is a great choice. Just be aware that the wait time might be longer than promised, so consider taking a stroll while your order is being prepared. I’ll definitely be back for the coffee and pastries, but I hope the service gets a bit quicker!"
"Great cafe. Lots of locals getting their morning caffeine fix. We had Açai Bowls which were amazing. Nice and relaxed beach feel. Friendly staff."
"Great! We were enjoying a swim and relaxing day at Cudgen creek and walked over here along the boardwalk to get coffees and food for everyone. The toasted Rueben was so delicious! As were the coffees. The 2 yo also loved her babycinno. Thanks guys!"
