ABOUT US
Based in beautiful Maroochydore, The Nines is a modern & fresh take on your favourite café. So much more for a place to stop for a drink (but perfect for that too), The Nines was inspired by the unique coastal culture of the Sunshine Coast and the thriving food scene of Melbourne.
Since it's creation in 2015, The Nines has become a haven for locals and a community all of its own. Filled with good vibes and effortless style, The Nines will become your go to meet up spot just so you have an excuse to keep trying the food!

Our Team
Great food and coffee get people through the door, but our team is what keeps them coming back. Our crew isn’t just staff, they’re an extension of our family. From the baristas who remember your exact coffee order to the kitchen team bringing heat and flavor to every plate, everyone here shares a genuine passion for hospitality. We thrive on the morning hustle, love a good laugh, and take pride in creating a space that feels like your local home away from home.

Rooted in Family
The Support Crew
Running a vibrant local spot takes a village, and for us, family is woven into everything we do. Whether it’s family members stepping in to lend a hand during big weekend rushes, offering a sounding board for new ideas, or supporting the day-to-day grit behind the scenes, their encouragement keeps us grounded. That tight-knit energy flows straight onto the floor, giving The Nines the authentic warmth and community spirit you feel the moment you walk through the doors.
