Coffee Works

Cairns & Far North Queensland


Part cafe, part gift shop and part museum, Coffee Works is dedicated to all things java. The Coffee World museum is like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory for coffee (and tea) lovers, with an audio tour through historical displays, roasting equipment and unlimited tastings of coffee, chocolate and liqueurs. There's also a chocolaterie and aromatic coffee-roasting displays.
