The Butterfly Shop is the brainchild of B and Yayoi, who developed the concept while living in Japan during the early 2000s. It wasn't until their return to Australia in 2010 that they were able to bring their vision to life and establish The Butterfly Shop. With a young family of their own, B and Yayoi truly understand the importance of creating a welcoming environment that caters to both families and couples alike.
At The Butterfly Shop Cafe Bar, you can enjoy indoor and street-front dining, offering a full range of hot and cold locally grown coffee, tea, milkshakes, sundaes, smoothies, and cold drinks. As a licensed cafe, we also offer a selection of Australian and international beers, ciders, red and white wines, champagne, and cocktails. Indulge in a medium or light lunch, and don't forget to try our delicious selection of French tarts and pastries for dessert.

Reviews
"We recently visited and ordered 2 frittatas as hubby has a gluten intolerance. We were served filos instead and while I was happy to eat mine hubby returned his, as he cannot eat wheat products, stating it was the wrong order. The lady in the shop was rude and did not want to replace the filo with the frittata. It was disappointing to see this attitude."
"Extremely friendly owner. Had smoothies which were very nice. It seems smoothies are more thick shakes in Kuranda/Cairns. They use more ice cream and milk than fruit. Besides that they were very good. Didn’t have a chance to try the coffee which the owner assures is excellent after I mentioned most coffee in Cairns isn’t that great."
"After stopping here for lunch after the typical Kuranda experience, this shop and its lovely owner have stuck in my mind! He went out of his way to make us welcome! Nothing was too much to ask and their coffee and ice cream are top notch! So thank-you for being so lovely and making our day with some kindness and a lot of humour!"
"Lovely owner and friendly service. Returned today from Sydney to purchase more butterfly magnets. Bought 5 for $28 (see photos). The butterflies are a great gift for friends & relatives. They also have a cafe and many other nice items for sale. My favourite shop at Kuranda."
