Tucked inside furniture and homewares store Room for Living, the former coffee stop has evolved into a cafe offering a simple menu focused on grass-fed meat, wild-caught seafood, free-range chicken and eggs, alongside nuts, fresh fruit and vegetables.

Taking culinary cues from our ancestors, owner-chef Gary Keenan whips up gluten-free, dairy-free and preservative-free dishes from a tiny kitchen out the back, adding his own unique twist to the norm. Zucchini or bacon-baked eggs accompany your morning coffee, while ingredients like almond milk, honey, bananas and strawberries are whipped into healthy shakes. The cafe also continues to offer the farmer-friendly Fairtrade Brew and Decaf Blend from Noosa’s Little Cove Coffee Company.

Revert to your palaeolithic roots with a carnivorous caveman feast of a lamb cutlet, chicken tenderloin and bacon rashers with poached eggs and vine-ripened tomatoes, rocket and nuts, or the lighter grilled mushrooms with poached eggs and almonds. Non-paleo diners are also catered for, with several dishes incorporating grain toast for those in need of a carb hit. As a continuation of the Room for Living showroom, every table and chair at Purely Decadent Cafe comes with a price tag attached. The surrounding walls will also see a frequent change of adornments, with local artists planning to mix up the mural art on a regular basis.
