It was gorgeous, sunny morning and we opted to sit outside, on the right, by one of the wooden tables. The murals opposite were amazing, putting life to a dead block beside us. But the coffee was a massive hit! Really excellent! And not to be out done, so was my Avocado Sourdough with goats cheese, hemp & tumeric dukkah, haloumi and corn salsa. Loved the Turkish/Middle Eastern influenced healthy menu with the hemp dukkah, spiced nuts and lebnah. One of the best eats on my holiday. Great ambience and vibe, with an awesome mural on the block next door. Can't beat the coffee. And yes, as Arny said: I'll be back!

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.

Fantastic. About…read moredamn time there was a no-nonsense cafe in the Gold Coast. The trend nowadays is to have exotic, "different" food on the menu but quite frankly, I'm getting very tired of it. I'm a huge fan of eggs benedict/florentine/whatever but it's starting to become really difficult if not impossible to find a simple, decent version of this. I don't want dukkah and mediterranean turkey or crispy duck gnocchi as an "healthy" substitute for what benedict is usually served with. (You know what I mean, I sincerely hope no one is stupid enough to try that.) When it comes to breakfast, I want to see the usual suspects on the list FIRST then you can go be creative for all I care. Just don't make them "sides/extras" and when you work it out, a plain scrambled eggs on toast with mushrooms and maybe some avocado turns out to be well over $20. This is just robbery. To my delight, this place delivers. I ordered eggs benedict and opted for the double smoked leg ham instead of the bacon. (You can choose from bacon, salmon, portabello mushroom or the ham.) My god, that ham...!!! It was orgasmic. I cannot recommend that dish enough. The eggs were PERFECT, and if you are a breakfast head like I am and/or have worked as a chef cooking thousands of eggs, you will know what I mean when I say the art of cooking a poached egg seems to be dying. I don't want the whites to run nor do I want the yolk to resemble a rubber ball. 10/10. That and hollandaise. I used to make hollandaise every morning for work and I know when someone actually understands what they are doing. Put it this way, I scraped that plate clean. And the serving was generous. And for $17, I expected good stuff. This wasn't good, it was excellent. My friends ordered the chicken burger with aoili and the breakfast special of bacon and egg roll (that was $10 and I have never seen one that massive!) and both were extremely satisfied. Coffee was great too. The owners used to own a nighclub in Cairns but got tired of the party scene and moved down to open a more friendly establishment and you can see the love they have put into this place. There is a stunning motorbike on display at the back (just take my word for it, go have a look if you're into that kind of thing) and my friend who lives right around the corner was asked if he would like to display some of his photographs to sell. This is exactly the kind of attitude more places need to adopt, support local artists and it's a win-win. I wish this business many prosperous years to come. Thank you for restoring my faith in Gold Coast breakfast cuisine.

There isn't a parking lot but lots of options for street parking. Upon entering you check in with the host and are escorted to a table. There is tons of seating including an upstairs patio. Now the good stuff - what makes this restaurant stand out? The fact that it is 5 restaurants in 1! Yes you heard that right. In the mood for Italian...they've got that. In the mood for Mexican...they've got that too. Wanting Japanese...yep its there as well. This is like a dream come true for picky and indecisive eaters alike. You are handed a menu with several pages. Each page represents one of the five restaurants with full menus from each. Heres where it gets great - you can order off any menu or even all! For example you can get an appetizer from one, entree from another, side from a different one, and dessert from a new one as well. AMAZING!! Also the waiter/waitress is the one that goes to all the locations to order and bring your food so you just stay seating awaiting the goodness. Now the reason it didnt get 5 stars is because both times I came after I got the food the server basically vanished and I couldnt even get water refills. However for the first half of the meal they have great service. I am already excited for my next visit!

There's a full waitstaff, the restaurant is only half full, and the service is painfully slow. The food was good, but pricy for what we got. The coffee mediocre. The service was friendly, but so dysfunctional that it made a pleasant brunch into an awkward waiting game. My meal was served in a tagboard take-away box, further down-classing the meal at a shared table where everyone else was served on flatware.
