So, if you are looking for a new local or you are in the area and looking for a good drip, look no further.
PARADOX COFFEE ROASTERS, SURFERS PARADISE
Located in the heart of Surfers Paradise, Paradox offers something for everyone. When they roast the coffee on-site, you know they will make a good brew...and that they do!
The industrial feel provides a cool and creative space to sit, catch up with friends or even get some work done.
With a cabinet full of takeaway goodies and a jam-packed dine-in menu you are spoilt for options. You can't go past their famous brekky burger or Benny bagel.
BSKT, NOBBYS BEACH
In one of the Gold Coast's most idyllic locations by the beautiful Nobby's beach, BSKT is always pumping. With indoor & outdoor seating, plus a play area for your little ones, this family-friendly cafe is a weekend go-to.
From your standard coffees to specialty drinks, endless brekky options and even something for your four-legged best friend, you really can't go wrong.
Family-owned and operated, get down and support your local!
PADDOCK BAKERY, BURLEIGH HEADS
If you've heard of this place before, it's for good reason. This rustic farmhouse-like venue is serving up the most beautiful dishes and decadent sweets 7 days a week.
Take a seat underneath the most amazing olive tree and treat yourself to one of their beautiful pastries. Better yet, visit on a weekend and indulge in their amazing brunch menu, you can't go past the Dippy Eggs - an old childhood classic with a gourmet twist.
Short on time? Stop into their takeaway horse float for a selection of cookies, muffins, cold press juices and more!
TARTE BAKERY & CAFE, BURLEIGH HEADS
We couldn't miss out on this one! Tarte has become somewhat of a household name over the last year or two. Known for their amazing French-style pastries and next-level coffee, it's very rare you'll find a free table at Tarte.
If you are in a hurry or want to take your brekky goods beachside, they offer takeaway items and coffees right next door from their "Tarte Takeaway" window.
If you are looking to sit back and relax, you need to order the Turkish Eggs or the Breakfast Burrito, you will not be disappointed!
CUSTARD CANTEEN, TALLEBUDGERA CREEK
If you're getting set up for a day at Talle Creek, you can't go past Custard Canteen. Perch up under one of their iconic striped umbrellas and treat yourself to some beachside treats.
The Butter Boy Benny is a surefire winner, and you also can't go past the Twice-Baked Almond Croissant. The perfect fuel for a long day by the creek.
If you are feeling like something a little sweet after spending your day in the sun, stop by for a Portuguese Custard Tart or a loaded cookie!
