    Skinny cap. Coffee art!
    Kimberly P.

    I am in love! The atmosphere is bustling, and chique, eclectic and funky. We were 7, but found a retro chrome table and a few mismatched chairs to accommodate everyone. Service is at the counter inside. We had a few recommendations from one in the group, but most of us ordered eggs benny of some description. I had salmon benny, and a jumping jimmy (espresso banana milkshake). The one regular ordered this magnificent salad with chicken and more beautiful fresh veggies than I could list on both hands. Great menu selection, including such buzzwords as 'homemade', 'organic', 'muesli', 'free range', 'fresh local', etc. It was Easter Monday, and they didn't charge a 20% surcharge, and guess what? The servers were actually happy, and they had a sense of humour! Bonus! They might even actually enjoy working there!! We spent about 2 hours just basking in the glory that is Commune.

    My quest to try more GC cafes continues with Commune. This little cafe on the main Gold Coast highway at Burleigh is such a treat! Expect a very funky interior, opshopped furniture, a cute astroturfed/umbrella'd outdoors area and a large cabinet filled with the biggest most scrummy looking and fresh sandwiches and cakes. We were surprised to find out on Mondays they go Meat free, and usual menu items featuring bacon or ham are served without (don't worry, there are plenty of alternatives). I had Huevos Rancheros: a delicious little pot of hot bean/tomatoey salsa with a poached egg, feta and topped with coriander. It was served with a half avocado and warmed tortilla. My sister had the Breakfast sanga: poached eggs, avo, caramelised onion, aioli and tomato on Turkish. The drinks selection is impressive, I spent SO long deciding what to get the woman at the counter was looking at me rather strangely. Campos coffee is served, cold drip coffee is available as well as an awesome Espresso slushie machine. Smoothies and fresh juices sound delicious and fresh; My sister had a dairy free smoothie of blueberries, banana and apple juice that tasted amazing. A Jumping Jimmy smoothie is also on the menu; basically a banana smoothie with an espresso shot. In the end I couldn't resist the Espresso slushie..... SLURP.

    Commune's delicious corn cakes with avocado & tomato salsa, chili jam and a poached egg

    It's no secret that Commune serves great Campos coffee, has lovely staff, delicious breakfast and a relaxed atmosphere; it's always packed! This is my local coffee spot. I order a piccolo latte and the corn cakes usually. The coffee is always always delicious and expertly made. The corn cakes are light, full of flavour and topped with rocket, coriander, chili jam and a delicious cherry tomato and avo salsa. Poached eggs are optional for a more filling meal. Pancakes are served with a few different toppings but the organic coconut icecream is a winner! If you love savory breakfasts don't go past the mushrooms on toast; enoki, oyster, Swiss brown and other varieties are cooked to perfection in a buttery garlicky sauce and topped with a deliciously salty soft white cheese (likely to be fetta). Commune also do salads and sandwiches and have locally made sweet treats. I love the cheesecakes and pumpkin pies, but the caramel coconut cake (gf) is a stand out. Locally made Italian crostoli are also available occasionally. The atmosphere inside the cafe is relaxed and fun. Card and board games are available for patrons to play while they sip their coffees and the music is spot on. Outside the cafe there are lovely sunny spots for patrons to sit on vintage lounge and dining chairs. Space to tie up your dog and give them a drink and on Subdays there's a ping pong table for impromptu competitions. Not being from the Gold Coast originally, I was disappointed to find that no cafe I had visited included one of my favourite drinks on the menu - a banana smoothie with a shot of espresso. This did not however, stop me from ordering it, although most baristas would shoot me a bemused look. When I ordered it at Commune, the girls replied "You mean, a Jumping Jimmy?". Not only was it already on the menu, their version has a double shot of espresso! There's simply NO reason not to love this place.

    some brunch fun

    One of the most popular places for brunch on the coast and for good reasons. I came with a friend for a lazy Sunday brunch and was not disappointed. A solid little menu, all portioned. I had a LB in their superior blend and it was nice and smooth with minimal bitterness even when stone cold. Nice little selection of naughty treats or for the health conscious juices galore. You need to order at the counter so make sure you nab a table before ordering. My friend and I managed to nab a table right in the middle of the courtyard which had the comfiest chairs possible. They have jenga, connect4, uno and table tennis to give your brunch a kick. Dog friendly so there are plenty of cute pups to coo over whilst you eat

It's got everything you could ever want from your "local". There's loads of coffee shops in our neighborhood to choose from, and we've tried them all... but Caffeine Kings is, well..... the King ;) And it's not just for their great coffee, the breakfast menu is impressive, and if there's any caramel slices left in the pastry display - you gotta try one! It'll change your life! They're open at night as a full bar & restaurant (Night Caps) from Thursday thru Sunday night, and have beer on tap, the tastiest food, and yummy cocktails to match. The Turkish Bread & Trio of Dips is a MUST. Also tried and loved: The Salmon Crostini, the Chorizo, the Haloumi & Asparagus, and the Burgers, if you're looking for a food-coma ;) Over and above the A+ Coffee & Food, we just really appreciate the overall vibe of authenticity, and the friendliness of the staff, which makes it easy to pop-in, and hard to leave ;)

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!
