 Best Gold Coast Coffee
When you are on Holidays on the Gold Coast, for some of us issues like getting a good coffee become a high priority.
The Gold Coast has all the chains
- Zaffarras
- Gloria Jeans
- Starbucks
Zaffarras are a franchise that started from the Gold Coast.
Personally I like to find a good coffee shop and stick to it. Having worked in the hospitality industry I am sometimes tempted to simply ask the staff whether they really know how to make a good brew.
A bitter or too hot cappuccino is a sign of a poor cup.
My favourites are
Crema who have moved from Hard Coffee to diagonally across the road. This is the mob that used to be Hard Coffee. Fast great coffee. Check out Scott and co in the video attached.
Hard Coffee Tedder Av Main Beach (very fast and consistently excellent) - now with the original owners back.
The image above is Hard Coffee at Main Beach - click the image to enlarge it. They have now moved across the road to a bigger place but no morning sun which was a great factor.
Byron Bay Coffee (13 Tedder Av) Cronin Av near Tedder Av Main Beach - they use very nice blends of coffee with a great healthy menu.
Montmartre A coffee shop in Surfers corner Elkorn Ave and The Esplanade Surfers Paradise - talking with Richard who started the cafe in Surfers because he could not find a good coffee himself. This is one of the rare coffee shops on the Gold Coast that overlook the ocean in the heart of Surfers - great to watch the world go by while eating breakfast.

Ferry Road Markets in
Southport has the Merlo Coffee Shop - best coffee I've found so far.
Also great coffee shop is Cafe Bellago in
Emerald Lakes in
Carrara. Beautiful setting - consistent good coffee.
The Bluff cafe at Burliegh is popular, but it is always good too - maybe that's why it's so popular?
