The coffee was really good (& I'm fussy), plus no charge for lactose free. Such a cute vibe, very artistic and original, creating a relaxing vibe for a little hideaway to people watch as you enjoy your coffee/meal. Such friendly staff, just lovely. No exorbitant charge for gf crepes either, which I also thoroughly enjoyed. Much deserveed five star rating, highly recommend when you're in Coolum Bay ! Update, went back, tried their sweet crepe but gf. Had a lactose free alternative to Nutella. Thx guys!

Amazing little cafe / art exhibit of food and opals. The coffee is Smooth with no strong bitter after taste and the food just delicious. I had a wild mushroom crepe, nice earthy flavours of wild mushroom bathed in their own juices to make a very tasty sauce. Just a hint of sweet from the crepe and the whole experience was great, for a low price as well.

I organised a 2 day golf tournament at the club for 90 people and we dined at Benny's Bistro each night. The food was exceptional, the staff and service were excellent. Ben was friendly and great to work with. Highly recommended. The golfers/diners who attended are still raving about how good the dinners were

Three days ago 90+ members and friends from Emerald Lakes Golf Club on the Gold Coast played 2 days of golf organised by Emerald Golf Tours. Apart from playing golf our large group wish to pass on our sincere accolades to Ben and his amazing dedicated staff at Benny’s Bistro at the Mt Coolum Golf Club. We had the best meals both days equal to any 5 Star Restaurant. Meals were quickly served, hot, amazing presentation. and served by very pleasant staff. Well done and thank you Ben, family & staff ‘Benny’s Bistro’
