Groups should call ahead, as seating is casual and tables are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Crave Cairns is a casual breakfast and lunch venue at 117a Abbott Street, on the corner of Shields Street and Abbott Street in Cairns City. The menu focuses on fresh, colourful and health-conscious food, with options suited to diners seeking plant-based, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or dairy-free choices.

Breakfast and lunch are available alongside lighter food and sweet treats. The menu combines familiar breakfast plates with nourishing bowls and other options designed for different dietary preferences. The approach suits diners looking for balanced meals, as well as those who prefer food with a focus on fresh ingredients and flexible choices.

Bowls are a central part of the menu. The venue serves substantial rice-based bowls with choices including salmon, chicken, vegetables and tofu, along with a selection of dressings and white or brown rice. Acai and protein bowls provide a chilled option, with creamy blended bases finished with fruit, granola or coconut. These bowls work well for breakfast, a lighter lunch or a filling snack.

Plant-based smoothies, fresh juices and organic coffee make up the main drinks selection. The venue also serves dairy-free drinks and raw food options, giving diners several ways to tailor a meal around personal dietary requirements. Gluten-free choices are available, while the broad menu allows mixed groups to order according to different preferences.

Crave has a licensed setting, with cocktails available alongside its non-alcoholic drinks. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal rather than formal, making the venue suitable for a quick breakfast, a casual lunch or a daytime catch-up. It also suits diners searching for health-conscious food without limiting the menu to one particular style of eating.

Seating follows a casual dining format, with tables allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Larger groups are encouraged to contact the venue ahead of arrival. Phone ordering is available, and delivery is also offered through a delivery service. Crave provides a practical option for diners wanting varied breakfast and lunch choices in a central Cairns City setting.
