Spectacular opening dinner at the magnificent Mama Coco's, the ace Cairns cake and coffee cafe now open for dinner on Friday nights only.
And what an opening spread. I enjoyed tasty Tea Smoked Quail (quinoa, preserved lime, vanilla jus), perfect Hot & Sour Pork (on a bed of rhurbarb, pear and parsnip braise), followed by an exceptional Eclair (with salted Caramel foam, chocolate toasted peanut).
Amazing work guys, we'll be back VERY SOON.
Mama Coco was established in 2008 by brother and sister, Davy and Celia O’Rourke. They started selling cakes next door to Billy’s Coffee at Rusty’s market . People enjoyed their cakes and they started to see the potential for growing their small business. By the end of 2008 they were selling cakes at Rusty’s and Tank’s Markets and had started to wholesale to cafes and restaurants. They decided to take the plunge and lease a commercial kitchen at the beginning of 2009.
Now Mama Coco is a cafe, wholesaler, market stall and caterer. The cafe is open Monday to Friday 7.30-3.00 serving breakfast, lunch, coffee and of course Mama’s cakes.
You can try the cakes at: Bang espresso, Dolce and Caffe, The Edge and Caffiend (which has the best coffee in Cairns)
Mama Coco is located at Shop 4/196, Mulgrave Road, Cairns,Queensland 4870 (actually located around the corner on Aumuller street, next to the Westcourt Butcher)
