Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
A welcoming atmosphere, diverse selection of fresh food and friendly and caring staff is what has established Cafelicious as a go-to meeting place for people across the Burdekin.
Centrally located in Queen Street, the vibrant café has been owned by Kristian Moretto for two years.
Kristian has a passion for food and a passion for his community, and Cafelicious allows him to serve his community in a personal way.
“I enjoyed being in a kitchen when I was a kid, and I developed a passion for opening something small that can accommodate people in a more intimate way,” he said.
“People are drawn to us and sometimes I feel like we’re a bit of a hidden gem.
“It’s vibrant, it’s loud and it’s very welcoming.”
Regulars visit Cafelicious expecting a high quality and unique style of food, the frequently changing menu bringing a variety of options.
Whether you’re looking for a freshly cooked breakfast, a rejuvenating lunch, or a quick bite to grab and go from the hotbox, there is something for everyone at Cafelicious.
Aromas of fresh coffee fill the space and their milkshakes and smoothies are a crowd favourite.
“I think customers understand that it’s all house made,” Kristian said.
“You can’t fool people with that, they know the quality, and I think it draws them back all the time.”
Kristian leads a tightknit team, instilling that customer and community service in everyone who dons the apron.
The passionate staff members are cross trained across all tasks at the café, eager to lend a hand with whatever the customer requires.
“The team is like an extension of the family,” Kristian said.
“The connection’s a lot deeper and we really appreciate that.
“When people come in, customers will feel it.”
A Queen Street staple, Cafelicious provides the community with fresh food and coffee and does so with pride and a smile.
“We love serving the community, it’s our passion, it drives us, and we’re here to stay,” Kristian said.
