Tucked just across from Sandgate’s heritage-listed Town Hall, Myrtle & Blossom has become one of the suburb’s most-loved cafés — a place where flavour, creativity and community come together beautifully.

This relaxed café, just a short stroll to the seaside, celebrates the joy of real food, showcasing the best of Queensland’s seasonal produce and local artisan makers. Whether you’re stopping by for your morning coffee, a lazy weekend brunch, or a fresh, flavour-packed lunch, Myrtle & Blossom is all about bringing people together over honest, delicious food made with care.

A Celebration of Local Flavour

At Myrtle & Blossom, simplicity meets inspiration. The café’s ethos is grounded in sourcing the freshest seasonal ingredients and working directly with farmers, growers, and small-scale producers who share their passion for sustainability and authentic flavour.

You won’t find overcomplicated dishes here — instead, the team focuses on maximising taste and minimising waste, transforming familiar favourites into something truly special. Many ingredients come straight from their own market garden, and all fresh kitchen waste is composted or fed to the resident chickens — a lovely touch that ties their sustainable philosophy back to the land.

A Menu that Delights Every Palate

The Myrtle & Blossom menu is designed to surprise and delight, no matter your tastes or dietary needs. There are options for vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free diners and devoted carnivores alike — all prepared with the same thoughtful creativity.

Breakfast and lunch dishes are a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Alongside well-loved café classics, you’ll find inspired creations such as:

Strawberry Feels — a bright, elegant plate of roasted rhubarb, crème fraîche and balsamic with rosé-poached apples and walnut granola.

The Green Room — a vibrant mix of house made green falafels, sprouting grains, smashed avo, roasted broccoli and lemony greens, all drizzled with their signature green goddess dressing that is made with edible weeds and herbs and, is completely vegan.

Salt of the Earth — mixed mushrooms glazed with whisky and miso, paired with hummus, beetroot, collard greens and a crunch of hazelnut and saltbush.

Every dish showcases balance, colour and texture — proof that wholesome food can be both nourishing and a little bit indulgent.

Pantry Goodness to Take Home

Artisan products

For those who fall in love with Myrtle & Blossom’s house-made flavours (and that’s most visitors), you can take a little piece of the café home. Their artisanal pantry range includes small-batch preserves, condiments and treats that reflect the same inventive approach as their menu.

Favourites include:

  • Orange, Gin & Thyme Marmalade
  • Strawberry, Watermelon & Rosewater Jam
  • Pineapple, White Rum & Garam Masala Preserve
  • Whipped Smoked Feta
  • House Spice Mixes and Rosemary Salt
  • With gift packs ready to go – it is perfect for spoiling a friend or elevating your own weekend brunch spread.

Sip, Savour and Stay Awhile

Myrtle & Blossom isn’t just about the food — it’s about connection. The café’s welcoming atmosphere, inside and out, invites guests to linger over a tea or coffee, chat with friends, or enjoy a quiet moment with the paper.

The café is also fully licensed, proudly serving Queensland wines from the South Burnett and Granite Belt regions, alongside craft beers from local favourites such as All Inn Brewing Co. from nearby Banyo. It’s yet another way Myrtle & Blossom supports fellow local producers while giving guests a true taste of the region.

A True Sandgate Gem

It’s easy to see why Myrtle & Blossom has captured the hearts of locals and visitors alike. With its combination of beautiful food, warm service and genuine commitment to sustainability, it embodies everything that makes Sandgate such a special place to live and visit.
