Melbourners may think they have the best cuppa joe, but boy do they have it wrong. The Gold Coast is blessed with a bounty of locally-roasted brews, that also comes with a side of amazing weather and an ocean view.
From Coomera to Coolangatta we've got great coffee to please any connoisseur, whether it's an espresso, soy based, chai latte or a cold brew in the summer.
Here's my favourite local coffee houses to get caffeinated:
All-Time Coffee Co
Mermaid Beach
No Name Lane Broadbeach
Simple Coffee House
Southport
Nook Espresso
Burleigh Heads
