Thank you business owners for having the weekend Australian and the NT news available to view. Great place to enjoy the coffee with the morning paper. The staff are nice friendly and hard working, The coffee is good. However, when busy it can get a bit loud and noise tends to bounce off the walls. However, nothing too loud and normal for cafes. Nice paints on the walls. Great place to escape the Saturday parap markets rush.

One of the best kept secrets in Parap. Open early for breakfast and lunch. A lovely, friendly atmosphere and excellent coffee and food presentation are what this Cafe is famous for...try it next time you are wondering where you would like just a coffee, breakfast or a light lunch. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic breakfast experience. The food was delicious and fresh (date scone with jam, and scrambled eggs on toast). The coffee was divine (large mocha - no sugar). Visually, the shop was spotless, and the walls were dressed with art that were also for sale. Easy to get to by car from Darwin CBD and plenty of timed parking outside. Visited on a Monday morning at 10:00am

I recently enjoyed two visits to Cyclone Cafe, and I can confidently say that both experiences were exceptional. The food was delicious, and the service was attentive and friendly, making each meal a pleasure. I also enjoy the coffee—it was rich and satisfying, perfectly complementing my meal. Overall, I had a very good experience both times, and the consistent quality truly stood out. I highly recommend Cyclone Cafe for anyone looking for good food, excellent service, and a friendly atmosphere.
