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.

Brunch of champions…read more.. Often the vacation plot goes you party all night to wake up late. Is missing breakfast a good thing? Never. But you can always have breakfast for lunch or breakfast for dinner. But today, for some Bizarro reason, it's only 11:00 AM, and I wish not to eat breakfast, especially when I see a gorgeous lunch menu item at The Pantry Cafe. My item of choice seems bizarre; but once tasting it, my salivation glands hold onto a good omen of delicious textures and flavors. Are you ready? Octopus Salad. Lightly crisped baby tentacles, mild leafy greens, a bird's nest of fried noodles and a tangy, memorable Asian-inspired vinaigrette. I can't continue ignoring breakfast, my favorite meal of the day. I give in. I order a second helping. They call it, Mushroom on Rye. A gorgeous poached egg with hollandaise rests on golden button mushrooms, over traditional rye toast. Simple, hearty, and satisfying. Coming back to reality, I wonder, sometimes, how I end up in specific locations, such as Burleigh Heads, Australia...for Christmas. Epic!

The menu is full of great lunch options--lots of salads and hot food--but take my advice and order the grilled baby octopus salad. You'll get an absolute mountain of crispy grilled marinated octopi on delicious spinach salad with feta, crisped noodles, red onion, capsicum and juicy olives. It's dressed with an insanely delicious sweet balsamic and chili dressing. Not to the most atmospheric cafe in the world, but worth it for the baby octopus.

The banana bread was great, the watermelon was a dream, and the matcha was delicious. My husband ordered eggs on toast with a side of bacon and loved it. Toast was crispy and had delicious butter! I ordered the forager and swapped feta for tahini and added a poached egg. It was to die for! Just such a delicious and delectable breakfast. Wonderful flavor and filling too.

We arrived on a Friday afternoon, took our seats, and after some confusion around table service (it is) ordered coffees, and I took advantage of the all day breakfast menu, and asked for the 'farmer' (poached eggs, rosemary potato hash, bacon and sourdough). The coffees came out first, and were fantastic. Using Brisbane's Cup Coffee beans, they make a great cappuccino. The food was also excellent. The open plan kitchen allows you to watch the chef make your breakfast as you quiet your stomach's rumbling. The eggs were 'just so' and oozed out decadently over the twice cooked bacon. The potato hash wasn't dry, and the rosemary wasn't overpowering. As we left, I grabbed a second coffee, knowing that I was a long way from my next good one. If you're in the area, Blackboard should absolutely be on your to do list.

Not that you can see any of this from the restaurant, but you won't have to go far after your beach excursion to eat. The food itself is all-vegetarian, and ample in options. I ate modestly, choosing dal and a daily special shepard's pie (quite rich and filling), leaving many other stones unturned. The amount of food for the money was satisfactory (at least, given the locale; I got more at their urban location). The place had a decent-sized line at peak lunch hour around noon, which I just beat. Are there a lot of Australian vegetarians, or do people just know good stuff when they see it? I'm not sure, but in any case, beachgoing Queenslanders don't have to settle for crappy beach food.

Then we were constantly asked if we were ready to order even after telling them we were still waiting for people. Then when we were ready to order it was impossible to flag down any staff, and took an age to clear the table.0 They brought out what we thought was complimentary bread as we did not order any starters but we were still charged for it. The food itself is great, everyone's meals looked and smelt amazing. Drinks are reasonable. This place suffers from typical Gold Coast poor hospitality service. If you're busy put more staff on; and I have nothing against back to back booking I used to do them myself when I worked in the industry but the standard rule it allow a 30 minute gap between bookings and to let people know there is another booking and that they need to leave by x time, it is not rocket science. And a smile wouldn't hurt either.

It was one of our favourite sandwich bars, in the Dolphine Arcade, and when I say, 'our' I mean me, my brother, our girlfriends and all our friends and school mates. They made great, fresh healthy and tasty sandwiches to order... Yum yum pigs bum. I was so surprised and pleased to see it was still there last time I visited the Gold Coast. The other hangout we'd go to, especially lat at night, was the Coomera Road House, that our friend's parents owned, and our parents eventually bought acreage just near it and what eventually became the site for Dreamworld. If Get Stuffed still does sangers as good as they did then, I would definitely recommend it.
