Amazing brunch, coffee and desserts. One of Gold Coast's best brunch venues. Very instagrammable. Long lines so I'd recommend going as early as possible.

Paradox Coffee Roasters
10 Beach RdGood coffee and brunch in Surfers.
I'd only recommend the coffee here. There are a few tables but it's more of a take away place. It's right on the beach and esplanade walkway.

The sister cafe to the original Next Door Espresso in Tweed's Head. Burleigh is a nice beach area (definitely worth visiting). If you're up for a road trip, I'd recommend going to the original in Tweed.
