We have visited this cafe a few times during our trip and have found the service excellent. Travelling with food allergies isn’t easy and these guys have been knowledgeable and accommodating, hard to find in beach side cafes. Thank You for the amazing hospitality and yummy breakfast.

Back again to try more dishes and everything was so delicious! I had the cauliflower salad — fresh, flavorful, and my favorite so far. My husband got the scramble and loved it. He’s not usually into avo toast, but after trying it once, he wanted more. It was sold out this time, but he picked another dish and was just as happy, The scramble. The mango smoothie was super creamy and not too sweet — just perfect. Love that this café offers creative, tasty options. We’ll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

From the very beginning, the service was excellent. All the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. The food was delicious, made with fresh ingredients and beautifully presented. And the location couldn’t be better (right next to the beach, with stunning views.) Highly recommended! SEE YOU SOON

What a spot! Fabulous service and probably the best brunch food we've had on the Gold Coast - fresh, super flavourful, absolutely delicious. We absolutely loved our visit & will definitely be back. Highly recommend the straciatella toast (SO GOOD) and the cauliflower scramble with added bacon.
