Favourite cafe in Nowra! We had an awesome lunch today and absolutely loved the food and vibes. The playlist was unreal and could have been pulled straight out of my Spotify! Staff were lovely and helpful and kicked off our afternoon perfectly. Thanks so much team and see you again soon

I found this little cafe midway through 2023 & the service, coffee & food is awesome. I regularly go for a morning coffee & not once has been it wrong. Awesome staff, they now know my order when I start approaching the door! It’s a hidden gem that needs to be shared.

My absolute favourite cafe in the Shoalhaven! Know I can always find something safe and delicious to eat and drink (GF & DF). Reasonable prices, quick service time. Friendly staff Convenient trading hours (early to afternoon tea time). Whether you want a coffee/ smoothie on the run or you settle in for a long lunch, Juniper has the goods. Also, best brewed chai I’ve found in Australia (and I’ve been all over the place!).

Opens very early and creative space for dine in. I also enjoyed the breakfast buger I had, it was reasonably priced. The staff were amazing and I was made sure I had everything for my breakfast, the chef checked on cutlery. I highly recommend this place for breakfast. Oh yeah and very nice coffee too.

My go-to cafe in Nowra since it opened! Juniper has the best coffee in Nowra, but also serves delicious tea, chai and matcha, excellent smoothies. They have plenty of alternative milks (oat, almond, soy and tiger nut milk), but the food.... the best. SO MANY gluten free, dairy free and vegan options. But also regular food for the more traditional amongst us (I have it on good authority that the bacon and egg roll is great). They play a different playlist every day, and I never have to wait too long for food or coffee, even when it's busy.

I have visited Juniper in Nowra many times already, and every time I've had wonderful service, delicious meals, great coffee and the most beautiful experience. This time I decided to let everyone know about that! The daily specials area amazing, offering great prices to delicious meals including coffee! I tried (many times) their avo toasts, their bagels and their sourdough crumpets. WOW! Value for money, combined with friendly customer service, one of the best cafes (if not the best!) in Nowra. Try it and you will agree, I am sure.
