Grant Street Kitchen

Grant Street Kitchen is a small, owner-operated bakery and casual cafe in Port Douglas, Queensland. It has been baking here since 2017. The kitchen turns out house-baked bread and pastries, handmade pies, light snacks and meals, plus specialty coffee, all for dining in or taking away.

Pies are something customers order. The coral trout and prawn pie gets a mention from visitors who like to try something different, and we've heard the beef pie and sausage rolls do their share of the work too. One local felt a recent seafood pie came up a bit dry, and another thought the beef pies had slipped from what they remembered, so it's worth trying one and judging for yourself.

Beyond the pies, the pastry cabinet gets plenty of love. People mention custard-filled cronuts, soft fresh donuts, flourless almond and coconut friands, and pains au chocolat sold under their proper French name. There's a rich chocolate brownie and a passionfruit tapioca pudding for something sweeter, and a bacon and egg roll that one visitor called generous on both the bacon and the eggs. One family came back repeatedly during a holiday and later had the kitchen cater a wedding morning, with pastries ready on time and coffee orders waiting for pick-up.

The coffee earns warm words, with one visitor calling it the best they'd had in Far North Queensland. The staff are the thread running through nearly every good report: friendly, patient, quick and attentive, with a relaxed atmosphere to match. Locals also describe it as good value. Takeaway and dine-in are both on offer, custom cake orders are taken, and there's free street parking nearby plus a wheelchair-accessible car park. Cards and mobile payments are accepted.

It's open daily from early morning into the afternoon, though it's smart to look up the hours. Expect a queue at busy breakfast times.
