I was very excited to see this place open last year in what was previously a cafe desert' at the northern end of the esplanade, taking advantage of a perfect location to sit, eat and watch the view. The coffee is consistently high standard, and a separate plant based menu makes ordering easy for vegans... Undercover outdoor seating and a pretty steady breeze make it pleasant to sit outside for most of the year (and it's dog friendly too The Vietnamese style crepe and tofu huevos' rancheros are favourite meals... and fresh juices for when it's too hot for coffee.
I would give this restaurant a solid 5 stars, but unfortunately I can't rate it as such because it's not completely vegan and the Happy Cow app won't let me. We tried the truffle mushroom with vegan feta, avocado on toast with vegan feta, and truffle and tofu toastie, all of which were delicious and nicely presented. The juices were also very good and came in generous portions. The staff was friendly and the service was incredibly fast. As an added bonus, the restaurant is located right by the water and has plenty of (free) parking nearby.
The location of Guyala is on the corner of Smith St and the esplanade, attached to the SpinalLife centre. Happily, it's very wheelchair accessible by design. The menu offers things I haven't tried or haven't thought to combine. It's exciting to finally find a café ahead of the trends. I had a silken tofu and truffle toastie. My mum had avocado toast with a lot of native ingredients involved. Both were delicious. They're very fancy with the coffee too.
The service at this restaurant is excellent. The food is delicious and caters to both non-vegans and vegans with plenty of choices. The server went above and beyond to make a child's waffle meal special and engaging. I highly recommend trying the vegan truffle toastie. I will definitely be returning to Cairns in the future to dine here again. Overall, I had a fantastic dining experience.

My partner and I just came here for breakfast. We both got the Truffle Tofu Toastie. It was so good we ended up ordering a third and splitting it. Staff were attentive and food was brought out quickly. Also have really good coffee!

Great to see another place that not only accommodates vegan dining but has a dedicated menu. Great bonsoy coffee.
