Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Burleigh Heads

"Bam Bam Bakehouse has pastries that look so good you will want to try them all, and that’s after you have worked your way through the breakfast menu. It is reputed to be the Gold Coast cafe that actress Margot Robbie and food critic Matt Preston can go past and I can well understand why they would stop here. The food is a bit addictive."

"The baked goods that come out of this joint are truly next level, and so are the breakies!. Whatever you do, make sure you snag a serve of the croissant French toast."

"Whether you’re stepping off the beach or hitting the shops, Elk is conveniently located and definitely worth a try. Drop into the beachfront corner of the Oasis Shopping Centre for a seasonal menu of sweet bowls, savoury favourites with inventive twists and, of course, some quality coffee. They use Single O beans and feature roasters from around Australia in alternative brew methods, so you know you’re getting more than the standard caffeine hit."

"If smoothies and raw treats are your kinda deal, you’ll find lots of creative goodness at The Yard Cafe in Mermaid Beach. What impressed me most about this place was the service – super friendly and welcoming the minute you walk in the door. 17 Lavarack Rd, Mermaid Beach QLD 4218"

"This much loved local hangout is just up from Mermaid beach on Alfred Street but is starting to get a lot better known. Plan to get in early as there are only a handful of tables inside and a couple on the street and they go like hot cakes. The cute cafe takes coffee super seriously with a full range of milk on offer and a great selection of teas by the pot if you prefer."

"Located on the Ground Floor of the Fresh Food Market, you’ll be drawn to the café by their locally roasted Common Grounds coffee. Two Seasons is the perfect coffee shop to stop by for a coffee and a quick bite with ham and cheese crossaints, pastries, banana bread, muffins and more."

"One Arts Gold Coast is a must-visit art gallery in the city as well. This is a non-profit organisation that was developed for artists of all ages. Here, creative minds are invited and inspired to embrace their works of art and share it with the community."

"Specialising in contemporary Australian art and sculpture, this gallery represents top emerging Australian artists in addition to major investment works. Located at Marina Mirage, stop in to view the latest exhibitions and see what's new in the stockroom. Images courtesy Destination Gold Coast"

"As a relatively small city when compared with its global reputation, the Gold Coast is rather lacking in pure cultural experiences such as museums, exhibitions and art galleries, all of which typically make for great things to do on rainy days. Your best bet on the Gold Coast, if you're after a dose of culture, is the Gold Coast Arts Centre and the small yet modern Art Gallery. Located on Bundall Road in Southport along the banks of the Nerang River, the Gold Coast Arts Centre is an easily identifiable building with a unique design."

"HOTA stands for Home of the Arts and if you have creative kids, you’ll want to put it on your list of places to see on the Gold Coast.

HOTA also has a theatre, regular creative arts workshops, comedy shows and talks."
