About Helen's Heavenly Wholefoods Cafe

Straight-up organic açai without the cloying syrups—Burleigh locals make a beeline here right after morning surf. Bowls run massive, loaded with house-churned almond or pistachio butter, crisp granola, and ripe seasonal fruit. Behind the open street counter, the crew blends house-made almond milk into smoothies and stacks vegan burritos, keeping energy high without the post-breakfast sugar crash.

  • Custom Organic Açai: Pure, unsweetened organic base layered with muesli, fresh fruit, and custom add-ins like chia pudding and protein powder.
  • House-Crafted Nut Butters & Milk: In-house almond and pistachio nut butters alongside freshly made almond milk for smoothies.
  • Vegan & Dietary Friendly: Generous plant-based wraps, burritos, and gluten-free sweet treats ready for beachside refuels.

  • Pure Organic Açai Bases

    Bowls feature pure, non-overly-sweet organic açai bases served in generous portions with fresh toppings rather than sugary fillers.

  • House-Crafted Nut Butters & Milks

    Açai bowls and drinks are customized with in-house crafted nut butters like almond and pistachio alongside house-made almond milk.

    The selection of house made nut butters from Almond to Pistachio blew my mind.

    Lovely place to rest in the shade. We had a nice walk along the beach and then had a drink and cake.
