Australia’s café culture has grown by leaps and bounds in the past decade, so much so that Australian cafés are now being exported to New York and London, who can’t get enough of our flat whites (yeah whatever Wellington) and avo (aka avocado) toast for breaky (aka breakfast). Hipster coffee joints are all over the shop, hordes flock to the hottest weekend brunch places and children around the country are being raised on a steady diet of cupcakes and babycinos. The Gold Coast’s café scene is particular diverse offering everything from beach side espresso bars, so that you can get a quality caffeine fix following a morning surf, to vegan cafes where you can enjoy a healthy and (surprisingly) delicious lunch.
