A gently- buzzing little cafe inside Stocklands centre, Burleigh Heads. Appealing menu and lovely coffee. Only slight negative - as a Coeliac, I'd like to have seen a couple of gluten free baked goods on offer, such as a muffin, banana bread etc. ( perhaps not economic for them?)

Friendly little cafe at the big W end of the shopping centre. Nice food with some vegetarian options. Coffee was pretty good - they can make a decent magic for the coffee snobs. Not dog friendly for obvious reasons

A beautiful breakfast Eggs Benny with bacon and a Hazelnut Latte. Eggs were runny and coffee delicious. Yummy

Lovely service and a good experience. The prices were reasonable, not cheap but not expensive either. It’s just outside Big W opposite Boost and is a prime location. Lots of staff so fast service. Coffee was ok and the cakes and slices were terrific. Massive range too including gluten free. Nice ambience too. We sat inside so weren’t affected by the hustle and bustle of the shopping centre.
