Coffee is more than just a morning ritual, it’s a craft. And nobody understands that better than Sipping Duck Coffee Roasters in Cairns.

Founded by passionate locals Fi & Lance, Sipping Duck was born from a love of high-quality, honest coffee. They roast in small batches, carefully controlling time and temperature to highlight the unique flavour notes of each bean. The result? A cup that’s smooth, bold, and brimming with character whether you’re sipping an espresso, a silky flat white, or an iced latte on a hot day in Kuranda.

What sets Sipping Duck apart is their focus on sustainability and integrity. They source beans directly from ethical growers across the globe, ensuring farmers are paid fairly while also promoting environmentally responsible practices. This means every cup you drink is part of a much bigger story, one of fair trade, respect, and connection between grower, roaster and cafe.

Their roasting process is as much art as it is science. Using traditional drum roasting techniques, they bring out caramelised sweetness, balanced acidity and velvety body. And because they roast locally, the coffee we serve at Birdwing is always fresh, just days from the roaster.

When you sip your coffee here, you’re not just getting a caffeine fix, you’re tasting the dedication, care and craft of one of FNQ’s finest roasters. We’re proud to partner with Sipping Duck to serve coffee that locals love and visitors remember long after they’ve left the rainforest.

𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨, 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲!
Cruise into Pizza Night with fuss-free feeds, big kiddy smiles, and cold ones at the ready to wash the week away. We’ll handle dinner, you handle relaxing.

𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭’𝐬 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥: $15 Large Hawaiian.
…or go all in: $20 with a BIG cold schooner 🍺
Golden pineapple, smoky ham, melty cheese. Simple. Classic. Yum.

Does pineapple belong on pizza? We don’t know… but tonight it belongs in your mouth. You can't fight it at this price, it may even cause sudden urges to defend pineapple’s right to exist on pizza altogether. Love it or hate it, pineapple on pizza is the cheeky rebel of the food world. And tonight it’s all yours for only $15 or 20 big ones with frosty schooner.
Pineapple on, stress off.

Our family-friendly vibe is perfect for a fun night out, and we’ve got cold drinks on standby to wash it all down.

Since 1959, Honey House Kuranda has been a sweet staple in our village, a place where locals and travellers alike can experience the golden taste of the rainforest.

This family-run business is dedicated to keeping honey as pure as nature intended. Their hives are dotted around the lush rainforest and tablelands of Far North Queensland, where bees forage on a rich diversity of blossoms. This gives their honey its distinct flavour profiles, from smooth, creamy rainforest honey to rich, medicinal jellybush varieties.

But Honey House is more than just a shop. It’s a local institution, a place woven into the fabric of Kuranda’s history. Step inside, and you’ll find shelves lined with jars of honey, beeswax products, and natural remedies made from propolis and pollen. Each product carries with it decades of knowledge and tradition.

Their process is simple but powerful. Harvest ethically, handle gently, and bottle with care. Nothing is added, nothing is taken away, just pure, raw honey as the bees made it. And that’s exactly the honey you taste at Birdwing, whether drizzled over a dish, swirled into a drink, or served alongside one of our house-baked treats.

Every spoon of Honey House honey is more than sweetness, it’s the rainforest, preserved in every golden drop. Trish & Chris’s dedication, hard work and unwavering commitment to quality shine through. We love using this beautifully crafted product in our café and are so grateful for their ongoing support.
