Great little coffee spot! I always grab a toastie here and it never disappoints – love that you can even create your own. The coffee is smooth and they’re super accommodating, happy to make whatever drink you’re after even if it’s not on the menu. Perfect for a quick grab-and-go. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Very warm welcoming as we arrived. Great value and you’ve seriously never seen a more generous serving of bacon! We couldn’t even finish it. The kids iced chocolate even came with REAL ice cream! Will be back for sure

They have a bacon egg coffee deal for $10 in the morning. The price is low, but the meals are great. That brekkie burger is so super delicious and good value. The smoothie and coffee were delicious too. I would recommend coming here just for that for sure.

Great little coffee shop with awesomely friendly service. Serves Viv coffee which is mellow with a smooth after taste. They have some great breakfast deals for a coffee and a snack. Dog friendly. Close to the Southport courthouse if required

Directly across the street from the Police Station this could be the safest place to eat in Queensland. This is a tiny but very clean restaurant with indoor+outdoor seating. We had lunch here and enjoyed a quiche and salad, and a BLT sandwich with cappuccinos. We found the staff super friendly and helpful (lots of police present too). Note: there is no washroom in the restaurant. Ask for a key and visit 2 doors down the street for a very clean washroom.

This place has great food, team and atmosphere. Since I found it (2015 I think), went to eat as often as I could. By the end of 2019 I left Southport, and Australia. Just in February this year (2024), I could visit again the Gold Coast, and one of the first thing to do was to go have breakfast with my family there. I have to say it felt like visiting family and friends, like coming back home. The services at his best, food delicious, on the photo you can see the eggs benedict with smoke salmon, and a blueberry late with one shot of coffee. We all enjoyed it and during our 3 weeks visit to the Gold Coast, we went as often as we could. If you haven't tried it, it is worth giving it a go.
