Gold Coast Cafes
One thing we loved to do on the Gold Coast was treat ourselves to breakfast and lunches out. If there is one thing there is an abundance of on the Gold Coast its cafes.
After a long discussion and after much debate decided to pick our top 3. So here is our top 3 Gold Coast cafes
So here we go
Bam Bam Bakehouse
My main reason for the this place is one dish the Karage Croissant. Succulent marinated chicken is a crispy coasting served on a homemade, yes homemade croissant which crumbled and melted perfectly in your mouth.

Bam Bam isn’t just a one dish wonder, it has some of the most indulgent and delicious pastries you could ask for. And add to that fine coffee Bam Bam and a little for everyone.
Other great dishes include Egg Nasi, Acai Bowls and the Bam Bam Burger you wont regret any of your choices⁸
Open from 6:30 am daily
Situated on the Gold Coast highway at Mermaid Beach nicely tucked away in front of a green and play area.
Daark Espresso
Another favourite of ours is Daark Espresso. Small café serving homemade, delicious food and in my opinion the best coffee on the coast.
Its all about quality you could see why. We would always recommend the smashed avo with Persian feta, zucchini and parmesan fritters or the bagels are amazing. Another one of my favourites I had off the specials board once was a southern fried chicken benedict was absolutely delicious.



Other dishes such as chilli scrambled eggs or potato hash benedicts are also delicious options.
Located in the up and coming Chirn Park in Labrdor it well worth the drive to the northern end of the coast.
Elk Espresso
Elk would probably be our most visited venue on the coast offering tasty food and great coffee. For me is one of the best around in terms of consistency over the 12 years spent on the Gold Coast I could say I had the smashed avo and bacon a hundred times and would taste and look the same every time regardless of how busy the place is it always delivers.
Some of my favourites here would be Breaky burger with bacon, avo, chutney, gruyere cheese and my favourite addition jalepenos is amazing. The breaky bowl is also a huge hit packed of vege goodness and topped with poached eggs or something totally different the tasty chai pannacotta.
Elk espresso is located at the beach end of the Oasis building in Brodbeach with only a few steps to the beach perfect spot to walk off the big feed.
