About Bury Me Standing
Bury Me Standing is a plant-based bakery and cafe in Cairns City, and it's the sort of place vegans and curious non-vegans end up talking about long after a visit. The whole menu is vegan, which in Cairns makes it a rare find, and everything is baked on the premises that morning.
Bagels are the main event. Locals rave about the range, from a gold sesame bagel to an apple and cranberry one, and about the fillings that go inside them: gooey cheese, pickles, a plant-based hotdog, or a cashew cream cheese spread. One regular was talked into red onion, fresh tomato and garlic spread on a dill and onion bagel and called it heaven. Then there are the sweet things. The donuts get a lot of love, particularly the apple and raspberry jam ones, and the apple and banana fritters, cinnamon rolls and lemon syrup cake all have their fans. One visitor who has eaten plenty of donuts back home called these the best they'd ever had.
Coffee is on the menu too, with drip filter and batch brew getting a nod from people who stopped in for breakfast. You can dine in, take away, or have it delivered, and the shop itself is a pleasant place to settle in. Visitors describe it as beautiful, with a good spot for watching the world go by.
It's a family-owned business, and the warmth shows. People keep mentioning friendly, welcoming staff who are happy to suggest a combination, even when the counter is busy. There's also a nice touch on the sustainability side, with local ingredients used where possible and compostable or reusable packaging.
Early afternoon is the cut-off, so check the hours before you go. There's free street parking nearby and a wheelchair-accessible entrance, and cards and mobile payments are accepted.
