Coffee Works Mareeba: Where North Queensland’s Coffee Story Begins
Mareeba is the coffee capital of Far North Queensland, and Coffee Works is where visitors come to understand why. Established in the heart of the Mareeba coffee-growing region, Coffee Works is both a working roastery and a visitor experience, a place where you can taste the full range of Queensland-grown coffee, chocolate, and liqueurs, learn about the coffee production process, and leave with a very clear understanding of why the coffee grown on the Tablelands is genuinely special.
The café at Coffee Works is the natural starting point — a proper coffee from beans roasted on-site, in the context of a beautiful old timber building surrounded by the character of country Mareeba. The menu extends to chocolate tastings, coffee liqueurs, and locally made confectionery that reflects the agricultural richness of the surrounding region.
The Chocolate Experience
Coffee Works is also home to a chocolate experience that uses locally sourced cacao and other tropical ingredients to produce something distinct from standard commercial chocolate. The tasting tour takes visitors through the production process and into the flavour differences between varieties — the kind of experience that changes how you think about a cup of hot chocolate afterwards.
Coffee Works is located in central Mareeba and is open most days of the week. It makes an excellent starting point for a Mareeba visit before continuing to the Skybury Coffee Plantation, the Mareeba markets (on Sunday mornings), or the town’s excellent tropical produce farm gates along the highway.
A Hot Getaways destination. Where Care is Our Compass.
Travel Kindly
At Hot Getaways, care is our compass — and a little kindness makes every journey better. When you visit the Atherton Tablelands, we gently ask you to:
- Tread lightly — stay on tracks and lookouts, and take special care around waterfalls, which can be slippery and swift.
- Respect the wildlife — never feed the platypus, tree-kangaroos or birds, and observe them quietly from a distance.
- Support local — choosing local operators, cafés and guides helps this beautiful place thrive.
- Honour Country — we travel on the traditional lands and sea Country of Australia’s First Peoples, with gratitude and respect to the Traditional Custodians past and present.
- Be kind to each other — a smile, a little patience and a helping hand make the day lovelier for everyone.
Small acts of care add up to something wonderful. Thank you for travelling kindly.
