The calamari salad on the lunch menu is perfect. What a gem of a spot, outstanding innovation for our little regional town! You’re always my favourite treat spot when we head into town, thank you!

As a coffee enthusiast, 9th Lane Grind quickly became my favourite cafe in Mackay. The coffee is on point, service is friendly and efficient, and the food is good. They also have plenty of take away salads, wraps and other yummy bites. I've tried just about everything and have been repeatedly impressed. Highly recommend this cafe 👌🏼

Was extremely busy on both days I visited, but the (Grinders) coffee was good and correct temperature. I had a tonkatsu sandwich for lunch which was delicious and went back for breakfast and had Turkish eggs with haloumi - definitely very tasty. This cafe wasn’t here last time I was in Mackay, but I’m sure it will be successful as the food is delicious and multiple staff actually asked for feedback and genuinely seemed to care about customer experience! Well done!

I stopped in at 9th Lane Grind and ordered a coffee with the zucchini/corn fritters — both were excellent. The coffee was smooth and well-made, and the fritters were fresh, full of flavour, and nicely balanced.

I honestly can’t thank Kirsty enough for her kindness and amazing service. She completely saved the day with a very last-minute lunch catering order. Even with the short notice and multiple orders, she still managed to fit me in and was so accommodating the whole way through.
