Muddy's Cafe is a waterfront cafe at 174 Esplanade, Cairns City, which the site describes as located in the heart of Cairns' largest playground and waterpark (the council's Muddy's Playground). It is open 7 days from 6am to 7.30pm, serving meals, fresh juice and coffee, and takeaway all day through its own online ordering page, UberEats and DoorDash. The menu is published as an image and prices are not listed, apart from $15 tacos on Tuesdays and $15 fish and chips on Fridays from 5pm with live music. Kids parties can be booked with a $15 per child platter package and a 50% deposit, but not on public holidays or during school holidays because of seating limits; you may bring a cake. The council's playground page says the key for the all-abilities Liberty Swing is available by asking at Muddy's Cafe. Phone (07) 4051 0388.
