The avocado on toast with halloumi has a following here, and once you've had it watching the sun come up over Mermaid Beach, you'll understand why. BSKT has been feeding the Gold Coast's health-conscious crowd since 2013, and the formula holds: a menu that covers vegan, gluten-free, keto, and paleo without feeling like a compromise, served across a sprawling mix of indoor tables, outdoor patio, and curbside spots. The Byron Bay Hallowed Salad and the Spiced Tofu Poke Bowl both earn their place. Coffee is reliable, smoothies are fresh, and brunch for two lands around $70. Service is generally warm, though a handful of reviews suggest the ordering system can occasionally misfire. The kids' playground out the back makes it a genuine family stop. Skip the WiFi and order at the counter to avoid any confusion.

What People Say

We used to go to BSKT old venue close to the beach which is now closed. We decided to try the new venue which was a nice surprise at it is a different set up. The undercover seating area is a shared area to be used by the eateries which are part of The Oxley building. Very pleasant and breezy. The food is good and prices are reasonable. We thoroughly enjoyed both our meals. We will definitely return when in the Nobby's area

We stopped into BSKT for the first time today and it honestly lived up to everything people say about it. The location is hard to beat: right next to the beach with a mix of indoor tables, outdoor spots, curbside seating, and even a kids’ playground tucked out the back. We started with mochas and an almond croissant, and both were solid. For mains we went with the Byron Bay Hallowed Salad and the Spiced Tofu Poke Bowl. You can tell they put real effort into the healthy side of the menu without making it feel boring, 5/5 in food and service. If I’m being honest, prices across the Gold Coast have crept up everywhere, and good brunch for two hitting around the $70 mark feels like the new normal. That said, the experience here makes it feel worth the visit. Good first impression, and we’ll definitely be back.
