Wholefoods for Everyday Life
Your Sunshine Coast Cafe with a Difference
Fresh café meals and custom wholefood blends, made with real ingredients, careful sourcing, and food you can genuinely feel good about.
From early morning coffee to nourishing family meals, we make healthy eating simple and enjoyable, whether you’re dining in or eating well at home.
Wholefoods, Cooked Fresh In-House Every Day
Everything at Glass is cooked fresh in-house at the café, using whole foods and traditional seed-free oils. We don’t reheat pre-made meals or rely on shortcuts, because how food is made matters just as much as what’s in it.
From coffee after a surf, to family meals you can rely on, our food is designed to support everyday life and leave you feeling good!

Why We Built Glass
We grew up on the Sunshine Coast and now we’re raising our two kids here. We wanted to create the kind of place we were always looking for — real food made properly, with ingredients you don’t have to second-guess.
If it’s on our menu or on our shelves, it’s because we’re comfortable feeding it to our own family.
— Mitch & Brydie
The Journey of Glass Wholefoods
From the start, it’s been about the food. Built step by step. Without Shortcuts.
We’ve shared our journey with our friends, family and growing local community over the last 10+ years.
Healthy food at home
Learning, cooking, and questioning ingredients long before it became a business.
The café idea begins
A small wholefoods café concept took shape — food we wanted to eat every day.
Committing to our place
Securing our café space to protect what we'd built in the community we love.
Family and team growth
Becoming parents and growing the Glass team sharpened our focus and standards.
Doing the hard parts
Rendering our own cooking tallow, making ghee, developing our customers' favourite blends, sourcing toxin-free coffee.
Sharing Glass Wholefoods online
Launching our online store and take-home meals for families who care about food.
Transparency Comes First
We care deeply about origin and process — where ingredients come from, how they’re treated, and what happens before they reach your plate.
That’s why we stay closely involved at every stage, from making our own ghee and rendering our own cooking tallow to sourcing quality produce and serving toxin-free coffee. If we can’t stand behind how it’s sourced, made, and served, it doesn’t belong at Glass.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you use seed oils?
No, we don’t use seed oils. We avoid highly processed vegetable oils like canola, soybean, and sunflower (heat-treated, bleached, deodorised, high omega-6, polyunsaturated, high oxidation). Instead, we cook with traditional fats like ghee and our Glass-rendered tallow cooking oil — simple, stable, and trusted. If we don’t use it at home, it’s not on our menu.
Is your food cooked fresh?
Yes — everything is cooked fresh in-house. We don’t outsource production, and we don’t reheat pre-made meals. Every dish is prepared in our kitchen using carefully sourced whole ingredients, traditional cooking methods, and attention to quality.
Do you offer take-home meals?
Yes. We offer take-home wholefood meals made with the same standards as our café food, with researched and carefully sourced ingredients. Check out our selection on your way out.
Do you have outdoor seating and Wi-Fi?
Yes. We have plenty of outdoor seating with free Wi-Fi. And we’re just one block from the Maroochydore beachfront. Come on in, log on and chill out.
Where can I learn more about your ingredients?
You can read more about our values, sourcing, and what wholefoods mean to us on the About page.
