Whenever I'm in the Gold Coast, I always recommend Paddock it's my go-to spot for fresh, delicious baked treats. Everything is made fresh, the meals are fantastic, and the coffee is top-tier. I'm no longer on the Gold Coast but I do still miss it this place is superior.

I couldn't find the Marketta Cafe, so I have a strange feeling that the cafe is part the Miami Marketta. We went there to get an iced coffee after the beach. They didn't have Iced Americanos on the menu, but they gladly made them for us. Also, I was short about 1 dollar since we were trying to get ride of all of our Australian coins, and the lady happily said, no worries that's enough. She was super nice and to top it off the coffee was the best we had since our stay on the Gold Coast (better than Zarraffa's, which I am sure is not difficult). The cafe was fully mums and babies (it was Tuesday late morning), and from the menu I saw that there was some delicious smoothies as well as other yummy snacks and cabinet food. Keep doing what you are doing Marketta Cafe!

You can't go wrong with any of the pizza and pasta options but I HIGHLY recommend the Amatriciana pasta, the Gnocchi and The Con's Special pizza. The Chilli Mussels are also definitely worth a visit. Amazing value as it's off the main strip of highway and is BYO. I drive past every day and it's always packed.

The cafe is in the corner and easy to spot - there is on street parking with a few off street bays. The Cafe is dog friendly outside seating - we had our Labrador and she was very happy - getting attention from staff and customers. It's walk up, COVID sign in and you' lol be seated. The waiter staff will give you a tablet and this has menu and you order from the tablet for the table - I got it first try so it's easy. Menu has lots of Gluten free and Vegan options. The coffee hit the mark every time - it was excellent. Service was efficient and friendly - the waitresses checked in on us to make sure all was well. Food was very good - good serves and excellently prepared. We kept on coming back ! Note it does get crowded at peak times.

Opening ten minutes late due to chatting to a regular outside isn't a great start for those hanging out for their post-swim caffeine fix. The Açai bowls are smaller and contain fewer add-ins than other local places, for the same price, and take a strangely long period of time to make. I had a great coconut milk flat white, but it also took a long time to arrive. Being a small service area, they only make a small range of toasties and the bowls, as well as providing a small selection of muffins, and between 9:30-10:30am you can get a bacon and egg burger. But just for that one hour. The view of the Burleigh coastline from the seats is pretty spectacular, so get yourself a coffee and soak it up as the sun rises if you're not in a hurry.

My hubby and I recently stayed in beautiful Burleigh Waters for a few days during a big trip to Australia. We already knew that the coffee culture in this amazing country is a big deal, and couldn't wait to sip flat whites every day at various cafes we'd already researched from Sydney to the Gold Coast to the Whitsundays! Once we arrived in Burleigh Heads, we checked out Quest one morning, and quickly realized that this was THE place to be! We ended up going every morning and loved the laid back ambiance and friendly, local vibes. Even the owner seemed to know everyone on a first name basis and greeted everyone! Our coffees were always perfectly rich, bold and balanced, and they paired so nicely with one of their delicious baked goods (everything is baked in-house btw!). What made our experience even better was that they had a variety of yummy vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options. Our favorites were their banana bread and zucchini & pineapple bread, which they will also toast for you if you'd like. We honestly miss this place already and wish they had a location here in the Bay Area, California! Guess we'll just have to find a way to get back to the Gold Coast again soon!
