We met a guy in the Cairns market selling the coffee beans from this place and he recommended a trip out to Coffee works for the museum and the coffee. So glad we did. The coffee museum has to be seen to be believed, the guy who originally collected all the coffee paraphernalia had to have been a little touched as there are literally thousands of pieces of coffee history. The museum is well worth the visit, walking you through the history of coffee from its earliest times in the mid-east, through its expansion into Europe and then the world. Its really well organised and a quality set of displays, you don't often see better in big museums. With the ticket to the museum comes entry to the tasting room, drink as much coffee and liqueur as you want, eat as much chocolate. By the time you leave the tasing space, you will be vibrating!.The cafe is good, with great coffee (to be expected) and really good foods. The salads were fresh and the lettuce crunched! I'm not sure how well-known Coffee works is but it deserves to be better known. We will actually now be ordering our coffee from them and having it shipped back to Sydney regularly. If you want to drive its a nice loop from Cairns, Palm Cove, Port Douglas, Mareeba and back through Kuranda to Cairns.
Great place to enjoy coffee. If you buy a ticket, you can have coffee as much as you can. And there are chocolate also you can have. Awesome!
We enjoyed our Coffee and Chocolate tasting. The Museum was very interesting and informative. On a different note the decorative items for sale were very very expensive example they were selling a butterfly tile for $58 but a very very similar one was $31 in Atherton. I could have bought so much but too expensive.
I used to love this place but last time I was there had a bad experience. Firstly I came with my family from Canada and wanted them to experience the tastings etc. As my mom is a massive foodie and would have loved it, online it states they are open until 4pm we arrived at three for us to find out they closed the tastings at 3. They would not allow us to do the tour and we all missed out. We wasted our trip out to Mareeba. Secondly I thought we could redeem the trip by buying some chocolates to share. One of the signs said All chocolates gluten free except Turkish delights I purchased a small and expensive $15 bar of coconut crisp Rockey Road to find it had gluten in it therefore could not even eat it. My partner ordered a chocolate milkshake type drink to then find it was 3/4 whip cream and a little ice cream at the bottom when she asked for chocolate sauce or something to be added as it was all vanilla cream they looked at her as if she was crazy. Not good service!! This place should have proper warnings if going to have them in place and also should state last tastings at 2:30pm if they insist on closing at 3 on the dot! We travelled far to vist to be let down!!!! Big thumbs down compared to my last trip and staff were not helpful at all!I wouldnt bother wasting your money at this tourist trap!! Tour/ tastings is worth it and coffee beans to go are good but shame about the staff and poor information given!
Great coffee and food, enjoyed the pulled pork burger and Iced coffee. Staff where so friendly and the food came out in a timely manner. So much chocolate to see, looking forward to see the museum next time.
