Country Soul Collective - Cafe & Giftshop in Kalbar is a relaxed spot that blends a café experience with a small, thoughtfully curated gift shop. Its location on George Street makes it a convenient stop for locals looking to start their day with a solid breakfast or enjoy a casual catch-up over coffee.

The atmosphere draws on a cozy, rustic charm, enhanced by local artwork displayed on the walls — some pieces even available to purchase. This artful setting, combined with genuine warmth from the staff, creates a welcoming vibe that suits anyone after a slower-paced morning or an afternoon break.

The menu leans heavily into breakfast and brunch classics with a local twist, including items like a Big Breakfast, Breakfast Burgers, and the occasional sweet treat such as chocolate or strawberry waffles. Visitors frequently mention their coffee as a highlight, appreciated for its quality and consistent preparation. Fresh, well-presented food pairs naturally with the café’s comfortable, unhurried rhythm.

Country Soul Collective also offers a High Tea that adds an occasion-worthy atmosphere, making it popular for special moments like early Mother’s Day celebrations. The table settings and attention to detail on these occasions suggest a place that goes beyond simply feeding its customers — it provides a bit of local charm and a community feel.

Those who come here often hop between a casual meal and browsing the gift section, which stocks unique, locally sourced items. This combination appeals to people who enjoy leisurely mornings combining good food, coffee, and a bit of shopping in one inviting space.

Generally, the café suits morning visitors looking for a hearty brunch or a sweet treat alongside their coffee, with weekends and mid-mornings being particularly lively times. Families, couples, and older locals appear comfortable here, drawn by the attentive service and thoughtful ambiance.

For anyone passing through Kalbar or residents hunting for a break from the usual café routine, Country Soul Collective provides a grounded, community-minded experience that feels both familiar and distinctively local.

A delightful rustic place. The staff are so very friendly and the service is very prompt. The atmosphere is relaxing and interesting. The artwork on the walls as well as in the paintings that are for sale is delightful. The food is beautifully presented and delicious. We are particularly with our coffee and this one ranks highly. The gift store has some gorgeous items and adds to the relaxing pace inviting you to browse. We drove from Brisbane just to come here and will certainly my come again

Had a High Tea here on Monday 5th May. It was amazing. The staff were so friendly and the food was excellent. Our table was decorated beautifully. My daughter and I had an early Mother's Day celebration and it felt so special. The shop was full of beautiful gifts and extraordinary cakes. I would highly recommend going to Country Soul Collective in Kalbar. I will definitely be going there again. Thank you for a beautiful morning. Very special memories made with my daughter. Congratulations to all the staff for an absolute amazing morning.

Great food and great service 10/10 all around! The burger and fries was great, went into today for lunch and takeaway brownie and coffee! Probably the best brownie I've ever had! Make sure you don't miss out on their beautiful treats and coffee! There aren't many places like this around anymore where you can walk in and all the staff are genuinely so friendly! It put a real smile on our faces. We will be back for sure!

We had the pleasure of visiting this charming café for breakfast last Saturday, and it was a truly delightful experience from start to finish. Nestled in a quiet corner, the café exuded a warm, welcoming vibe the moment we stepped inside. The interior was tastefully decorated with thoughtful details—soft lighting, stylish furnishings, and a relaxed ambiance that made it feel like a little escape from the hustle and bustle. The food was excellent—beautifully presented and full of flavour. Each dish was made with care and high-quality ingredients, and the portion sizes were just right. What truly stood out, though, was the service. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely seemed to enjoy creating a great experience for their customers. It's always nice to be greeted with a smile and feel well looked after. Overall, it was a fantastic way to start our weekend. Great food, top-notch coffee, lovely staff, and a beautifully cozy environment—this café ticks all the boxes. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

This cafe is a gem! The atmosphere is so welcoming, it feels like a home away from home. The food is absolutely delicious, and the coffee is fantastic—they really know how to make a good cup! The staff are incredibly friendly and always make me feel welcome. Plus, it's dog-friendly, which is a huge bonus! I'm here almost every day, and it's my favorite place to relax and grab a bite. Highly recommend
