As noted by Bob Wright, the toasted ham and cheese sourdough is not to be missed, perfectly crisp with gooey cheese that pulls apart beautifully with each bite.

What a find! Absolutely delicious. I had the granola bowl. My husband had the pancakes. Cappuccino was terrific and the fresh OJ was the best ever.

Stopped in at the Red Kitchen for a breakfast and absolutely loved it. I pretty much always order scrambled eggs with whatever I happen to fancy at the time and these were cooked to perfection, well seasoned. A great consistency and delicious, I also have to say how happy I was to receive 4 whole tomatoes, which is in my opinion fantastic. My wife ordered Spanish eggs and also loved her food. Finally the juice was super fresh, clearly squeezed that day and the coffee was amazing.

Enjoyed our visit to Little Red Kitchen. The toasted Ham and cheese sourdough was great and Sue enjoyed her Caramel cake and Banana bread.

Delicious food and very good coffee and fresh fruit juice! We went for lunch for the first time and had avo toast and chicken burgers, 2 coffee and juice and we really liked it. So we went back again for breakfast after that and tried the eggs benedict and granola bowl which was fantastic! The staff was friendly! The cafe is right in the center of town so pretty close to most accommodations in Port Douglas.

Came here twice on our Port Douglas trip. Could not fault it. Great coffee both visits. Great service. Comfortable seating area and a bit more private than most other places which have you seated on the footpath. The food was fantastic both times. My husband had the Spanish eggs which was probably the pick of the bunch, we definitely recommend it. Thank you Little Red Kitchen!
