Awaken Cafe assumes prime position atop Point Danger overlooking Rainbow Bay, Snapper Rocks and Duranbah Beach. The venue has transformed the former Cafe DBar into a chic 40-seater imbued with Coolangatta’s laid-back vibe through its light airy palette and dreamy coastal furnishings. A collaboration between BYculprit. x S.SHYNE, Awaken is indeed striking, with a floor-to-ceiling bread display and the tiled counter that is reminiscent of the textured pathway that leads you down to the ocean.

Eventually, Awaken Cafe will serve breakfast, lunch and baked goods (from croissants and pastries to doughnuts), alongside freshly baked bread. We’re told the full menu will feature blueberry pancakes, nourishing green bowls, classic eggs on toast, mouth-watering breakfast rolls, alongside an array of freshly baked pastries, of course. Awaken Cafe offers a concise selection of freshly brewed Merlo Coffee, juices and smoothies alongside sandwiches, freshly baked pies and pastries, breakfast rolls and acai bowls.
