Criminal Coffee Co.

The Verdict

Peaky Blinders fans, eat your heart out; the Sunshine Coast has a new cafe and it’s totally up your alley. 

Step inside Criminal Coffee and the first thing you’ll notice beyond the size of this cafe, is the elaborate, dusty pink pressed tin espresso bar, lit by industrial-style pendants and backed by brick archways. 

Then, you’ll be pulled to the dark timber chairs, exposed rafters, polished concrete floors, sleek Chesterfield couch and, of course, the olive subway tiles that line the walls throughout. It doesn’t feel like the Sunshine Coast, and we’re loving the escape. 

But it’s not just the interior or the super smooth coffee that’s worth getting excited about though.  These guys are toastie specialists and you’re going to want to devour one of their five, cheese-heavy creations immediately.
