Cafe China Express: The Pier Shopping Centre

The coffee here is absolutely beautiful, went daily for 4 days to load in this and the coffee was consistently beautiful, regardless of who the barista was. they also use artistic mugs with aboriginal arts that give the consumer a positive experience. they have a promotion on the spa pass, which they can receive food from the night markets. promotion is buy 1 coffee and get 1 free. Even if the promotion was not there, I would still come here and buy my coffee. $5 for a medium cappuccino, pricier compared to standard coffee price in Australians I guess they have no real competition in the opposite location is right on the esplanade on the night market foodcourt.

The best breakfast I had in cairns. very appreciated that the cook happy to discuss, accommodate my request to replace the ciabatta with mushrooms. presents beautifully tasty! when I come back to visit, I will surely come.

Great cheap place in Cairns. The iced coffee is probably the best thing. Meals are cheap and basic but certainly do the job and pretty good for Cairns. Being able to sit by the waterfront is nice as well. And stuff are friendly

I wish I could give 0 stars. Garlic prawns was so bad and the pasta was disgusting. Pasta had raw onion slices. Pls save your money. Staff was not interested at all. We had lunch here on Christina’s day. They should have kept the place close if they are not interested.

Disclaimer: I was only here twice. for the first time I had her hainanese chicken rice, which was 100% terrible. absolutely not her forte and I highly recommend to go over the road to nasi n mee when that is what they are. I decided to try again, however, a noodle dish as it is a noodleable. the char kway teow was quite ok, big serve with at least 7 garnels. needed chili, but this is a personal preference so if they plan to come here, they order a noodle dish like this or laksa, seems what they are good.
