Boasting a diverse menu that promises something delicious for everyone, Coca Bar shines with its standout dishes like the Korean Fried Chicken Rice Bowl, where crispy fried chicken is enveloped in a sweet and spicy Korean red pepper sauce, perfectly complemented by a free-range fried egg and vibrant veggies. For a taste of savory delight, their Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl features tender grilled chicken with edamame and fresh greens, making each mouthful a burst of flavor.
Kids will also find their favorites here, with options like grilled chicken with chips and juice, ensuring that the little ones are well taken care of.

What truly sets Coca Bar apart is the atmosphere. Customers rave about the inviting ambiance filled with greenery and soothing music, making it a welcoming spot for a casual meal or a special gathering. The thoughtful touches, such as providing water and treats for furry friends, highlight the cafe’s commitment to creating a friendly environment for all. As Nika Reynolds shared, “Good food, drinks, and a lovely location right by the water.”
What’s more, Coca Bar excels in customer service. Guests have described the staff as warm and attentive, often going out of their way to ensure you have a memorable dining experience. Jamie Gibson, whose daughter celebrated her 13th birthday here, noted, “Staff were very welcoming and helpful,” and the delightful surprise of a robotic birthday serenade added an extra layer of joy to their visit.

Nice cafe, will definitely be back. Good food, drinks and a lovely location right by the water. Great customer service from staff and they gave our dog water and treats which we weren’t expecting we have never had that treatment from a cafe before and the owner followed our dog on instagram too :)

I love mochi waffles here. All the staff members are always kind and friendly. Also, coffee is the most delicious coffee I've ever had on the Sunshine Coast.

I regularly return here for a different and unusual Asian-fusion experience. In particular, I enjoy their daily specials for something different each time I come, as well as a higher quality cup of coffee. The Plaza is not the best place for a "dining experience" but they have done well to improve the atmosphere with plenty of greenery and some nice soothing background music. The staff (and the robo-cat waiter!) are pleasant and polite.

Had the most delicious brunch today at Coca Bar! My dirty chai was amazing and the Maple Cinnamon Mochi Waffle was such a nice treat. It had the perfect crunch and the ice cream on top was so yummy. The wait staff were also very lovely (including the polite robot). Can’t wait to come back!
