Yaye's Cafe

A wonderful little hidden spot from the main city centre. The Cafe was buzzing with both your usual morning coffee lovers and the singing of local birds. Nested away in the Museum of Central Australia, you have the option of sitting indoors or outside among the trees and provided sunshades. We had some of the summer specials, which was absolutely delicious and fresh. And the coffee was good, which was made even better by being served by Max, the cheerful and delightful owner. We had a wonderful conversation with him about the cafe and the local area, which Max was able to provided us with many helpful tips.

Delicious vegetarian cauliflower fried rice for $16. curried with presumably frozen vegetables. portion was a bit small but expected with the price. tasted real good. matched with some purple pitaya(?) paste was a great contrast with the curried cauliflower. didn’t even feel like I was eating cauliflower at all.

Green smoothie was cooling and great for the summer weather. $9.9, highly recommended.

What a beautiful outdoor area to enjoy a delicious coffee. (Seating inside also available). Staff so friendly. A big mat with toys to amuse children. Lovely soft relaxing music in the background.
Can’t praise this place enough during our short stay in Alice- we came almost every morning👌🏼

Lovely atmosphere served with a side of great service and food. While having traditional breakfast options it’s worth getting out of your comfort zone and trying the South American style dishes. The Inca salad seen in the picture below is delish!

We were heading out of town and stopped at Yaye's Cafe for our morning coffee hit. Coffee was on point. Staff were friendly and the kids loved the banana bread 😀

Fantastc food based on Argentinian cuisine. Lovely staff & very helpful.
A nice change if travelling through Alice Springs.

Excelent services, great coffee and food, nice atmosfere . Highly recommended for everybody

Favourite cafe in Alice, lovely staff, great coffee & feels like your in the great Australian bush living the dream!!

Lovely food service and good company always a pleasure to go there and be looked after there were people here before I took this picture I was busy admiring view of ranges and talking to hosts

Love love this Cafe! A little gem in Alice. The coffee is great and the ambience is vibrant. Feels very welcoming and the team has a great energy!

Lovely cafe. Nice breakfast, relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff. Also dog friendly :)

Ooh, can't believe I haven't added a review for this wonderful venue already.

Excellent food and beverages in a great little setting, just next to Araluen Arts Centre and other places in the arts precinct.

Ambience is superb, with a choice of indoors in the air con, or outside either avoiding or chasing the sun. The place is very peaceful, and if there's not the hum of other patrons chatting, or if there is, you can enjoy the relaxing South American and Spanish music.

But for me, the best thing about Yaye's is the friendly, happy, excellent staff. G'day to M., S., D., M., and anyone I've forgotten. Thanks for helping me with my Spanish and Brazilian (and its subtle differences to Portuguese). ❤🤍💙 - 💚💛 - 💙🤍 ♥🏜

Great chill vibes in this local cafe conveniently located close to local museums. These guys are rocking here with amazing latin vibes and food - 100% recommended

Portabello mushroom sandwich is a must try! Very tasty.

Yummy food and coffee/hot chocolate. Would like to come back for lunch and try the empanadas

Such a great cafe, with amazing staff and located in a beautiful Alice's spot. I love the empanadas and alfajores

We visited Yaye's cafe a few times while staying in Alice Springs during our camper van trip around Australia. The coffee was delicious and we really enjoyed the South American empanadas for lunch. The people there were really friendly :D

Good coffee and Hispanic hospitality. Great on the road back in to town

Fabulous little cafe, wonderful find. Highly recommend the Inca salad and a home made empanadas Alfajores. The Affogato and iced teas went down a treat also. Great veggie options and right next to the art gallery and aviation museum too

New owners and this place is now fantastic! Good coffee and a different selection of cakes and treats at good prices. Other cafe style food available too. The people running it are very friendly and accommodating
