All the dishes we ordered ( for a party of 8) were great. The service was fantastic, super friendly and professional, even in the busy period we arrived. Great ambience and variety.

Great cakes and coffee, great ambiance and choice of a whole range of seating inside and out. Friendly, helpful service. Not cheap, but very satisfying!

Alway nice popping in to this cafe, it is nice and they have amazing treats etc ...but always to busy to get a seat at times ...last time we had to sit out in the cold.... I guess a sign that business is great for them which is nice to see : )

What a little gem this place is! We found Spice of Life by accident, but am so glad we did. Their chutneys are fantastic and they have a lovely range of gluten-free options. Coffee was very good & made perfectly. Friendly staff & fast service.

Always friendly, always welcoming...food is lovely, coffee great.... but you know...even if it wasn't I'd keep on going back just for the kindness and respectfulness of the staff. Heike and Alex have created a trully unique place...to say it feels "just like family" would be incorrect...for many locals it's SO much better than family, or home. Many of us are either living alone, or living in difficult circumstances, and to be able to go out, be among people and feel "normal" for a time is just so special. We even don't mind sharing it all with The Tourists! A great place to meet up with other 'regulars' and just watch the Mountain go by!!!

Approximate cost: $15.00

Love this cafe, it has so much ambience and the staff are great, the food is always fresh and they do catering. It always feels warm and cosy, and we enjoy having a coffee and snack there often.

Tamborine's Best Cafe! The lunch ala carte menu is delicious and has a range of prices available, but the breakfast is the definite winner. When we had people staying with us a quick stop to spice for takeaway dinner was delicious and so easy. Two thumbs up!

I frequent this terrific cafe almost daily. Breakfast is my favourite of the menus. When I go there I notice how many locals are doing exactly what I am... catching up with friends, having meetings, drinking delicious coffee and treating ourselves to a delicious plate of some sort. My friend had wedding catering done I was a little sceptical as it was a cafe that I knew and loved for being the best cafe it could but the fingerfood at her wedding was amazing. I love when my expectations are blown. I could live off those prawn twisties.

Sounds great, and they apparently have a gluten free menu which is important, will be going there with friends soon.

The Spice of Life is truly the hub on Tamborine Mountain, the coffee is always good, the service is always friendly and the food is just gorgeous.

Spice Of Life is in one word brilliant! The owners Alex & Heike are the most open and friendly people and really put alot of effort into making their cafe a welcoming place to come and chill and have some reeeally tastey food/drinks (the milkshakes are the best!!)
The service is great, from lovely young people who don't make you feel rushed to leave, they look genuinely happy to be there and are always smiling which helps create the relaxed happy atmosphere.
I would definately recommend popping into this cafe if you're in Tamborine Mountain for an extremely filling and delicious breakfast/lunch/dinner or even if it's just for a hot or cold drink (there are so many to choose from!)

This was one of the most tasty and pleasant experiences I have had for quite awhile. I took my international friends for a drive and they too were impressed with the quality of the Coffe, food and surroundings. Who would have thought I could travel for 45 mins to another part of the world and be left with a wonderful taste in my mouth

Approximate cost: $15.00

PS: New menu is great too.

A nice cosy place to have a cup of tea. Sorry guys, soy milk an extra 80c is way too steep! Still my favourite place to go!

Approximate cost: $10

I go to your *home* called Spice of Life most days- as I live on my own and do not mingle too much in any other way in regard to communications with other people.

I want to thank you for not only giving me great coffee and a treat that entails a good breakfast - more importantly, good moral support with a heartfelt listening ear ...

Thank you Alex and Heike and Alex,, the kindness makes life on the mountain for myself a living pleasure. ( and you really know how to bring the best out of the wonderful people that work for you. It's like a family <3 Love to you all Robby J
