Hear from our valued guests
The food tasted absolutely amazing all my family enjoyed the lunch. Plus the nice ocean view I will be back next time!
I absolutely loved my experience here! I went last week when I was visiting Gold Coast and enjoyed their specials of the day. The steak and the sangria were SO good! The staff is so warm and welcoming, a girl named Leanne took care of me she was always smiling and super helpful! Loved it.
A bit of a tourist spot, but I can’t fault the food. It was delicious, and the staff were really nice. Great place to stop for a quick bite to eat, and when I say quick, I mean quick. We did not wait long for our food at all.
I had a great meal here. The wait time was a little wait longer but once the food came it was worth it. Big portions for what you pay and my eggs benedict tasted amazing, the eggs were properly done with 2 pieces of sourdough toast and loads of bacon! I also had some grilled halloumi on the side which was grilled just right. Coffee was also great, would recommend for some tasty brunch.
This was a nice surprise on my final day in Surfer’s Paradise! We have searched for a good coffee all week. We resorted to Starbucks yesterday because we’re from the states and we can at least know what we’re getting at Starbucks. However, today I had the best cup of coffee that I’ve had for my entire trip. The service is great. The food was wonderful. Have the egg ciabatta. And don’t forget the freshly squeezed orange juice.
The food was awesome. Ordered Lamb skewers and Sesame roasted pumpkin, the skewers were delicious but a lot of it was burnt. Overall the food was good.
Great service in a beautifully new interior design openair space right on Cavill ave. We had the potato rosti and wagyu beef mince. Both really well presented and very tasty. The girls are super friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed it for breakfast and highly recommend
Had the best experience this evening at La Playa. Food was amazing along with a mojito. King prawns were so flavoursome couple with a Greek side salad. Service was perfect, lovely wait staff complimenting the meal.
We stumbled across this place by accident and wow, best coffee I’ve ever had! Huge shoutout to the amazing crew. The staff are so friendly and the service is exceptional. Highly recommend the Mediterranean Wagyu Mince in their breakfast menu. The atmosphere feels luxurious without breaking the bank. Will definitely be back again soon 💖
I had an amazing breakfast here this morning! The staff were so friendly and made me feel truly welcome. The food was delicious - everything tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. I especially loved the ocean view it made the whole meal even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, perfect for starting the day. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in the area!
