Nest in Witta is a cozy café tucked away on Gumland Drive in the Witta Hinterland, offering a relaxed spot for locals and visitors looking to start the day with strong coffee and hearty breakfast options. The vibe here leans into that comforting country-cafe feel, where friendly, old-fashioned service is part of the experience and the pace is unhurried — ideal for those who want to linger over a morning chai latte or a neatly brewed coffee while soaking in views of the surrounding greenery.

Breakfast at Nest is clearly a highlight, with dishes that combine fresh, local ingredients and straightforward flavors. Regulars have praised selections like the turmeric and pumpkin on sourdough, often enjoyed with perfectly poached eggs and crispy bacon, showcasing a menu that balances healthful and tasty. Portions are generous without going overboard, which makes it a practical stop for families and groups who want variety without waste.

On Fridays and Saturdays, the café transforms its evening offering with an emphasis on wood-fired pizzas, including specialties like beef ragu, garlic prawn, chicken, and the unique King George pizza. The option of a gluten-free pizza base—prepared in-house and without extra charge—is a considerate touch for those with dietary restrictions. The atmosphere is casual but lively, often paired with a nearby wine bar that invites a relaxed late-night out, adding a local social dimension beyond the daytime café crowd.

Locals tend to drop by not only for the food and drink but also for the unpretentious hospitality and the chance to catch up with friends over a shared pizza or a breakfast catch-up. Early mornings and weekends are perfect times to visit when the kitchen is in full swing, and the café buzzes quietly with families, couples, and solo visitors who appreciate a well-made coffee without fuss. For takeaway lovers, the spot offers well-sized portions that hold up on the go, making it a convenient stop for those exploring the hinterland or heading out on a road trip.

Overall, Nest in Witta serves as a welcoming anchor in a part of the Sunshine Coast hinterland where good food, simple pleasures, and genuine service come together — well suited for people who value straightforward, well-prepared meals and a sense of place in a warm, earthy setting.

Went for the wood fired pizzas (which they serve on a Friday and Saturday night) and THEY OFFER GLUTEN FREE BASES! They make them there and they didn’t charge me extra (which is so unusual but very wonderful). The staff were helpful and lovely, there’s a super cute wine bar next door, and the whole experience was 10/10. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Maleny.

The views are breathtaking, the staff and the service is delightful , and Sue makes the most delicious breakfast in the hinterland. Seriously, If you’ve not yet tried the Turmeric and pumpkin on sourdough served with both fresh and preserved lemon, and your daily requirement of fresh spinach, you don’t know what you’re missing. I take mine with a perfectly poached egg and crispy bacon, and end with a fabulous cuppa. Their sign should read, ‘if you want the best coffee and the best breakfast you’ve had in days, stop here’. Also, Trev is a gem and makes everyone feel like a valued neighbour. Good for a giggle and a yarn. I the Nest.

Not only an amazing view but the whole vibe is AMAZING. The people working there are so lovely and welcoming and go out of their way to say hello to us every time we are there. What a welcoming place. We have coffee there now probably twice a week because we love it so much. 10/10 would recommend. Deck is dog friendly too!
