Meet the fam bam!

Meet Mandy and her boys, Caleb and Kai. Mandy Established Meraki Whitsundays (Horseshoe bay cafe) in 2013, and it has been a beloved fixture in our community for a decade. Our cafe’s journey began with dedication and passion for creating a inviting space for friends, family and neighbors to come together.

What started a cute lil beachside cafe has grown into a treasured destination where people enjoy not just delicious food and coffee, but also a genuine sense of belonging.

After having her boys, our founder made the bold decision to relocate the cafe in pursuit of achieving a better work-life balance. This choice is a testament to our cafe’s values of family and community, and it’s a reflection of the love and dedication that goes into everything that we do.

As we look to the future, we are filled with hope and excitement. Meraki aims to expand its horizons, exploring exciting new opportunities while maintaining the commitment to excellence, consisitency, and quality that have been at our core since the very begining.

What they say

Listen carefully, i will say this once. I have never, let me repeat, never ever had a better meat pie in my life than here. The cheese and bacon is to absolutely die for. God himself couldn't make a better one. Love it!
The best food I've had in a long time, so nice and fresh and delicious Highly recommend to every one living here or passing by Bowen.
Catering for the event was great, the 20 people we had there were very satisfied and appreciative of the lunches. I had multiple people come up to me throughout the 2 days asking where we got the catering from as they were very impressed.
