The Biscoff croissant alone is worth pulling off the Gold Coast Highway. Custard Canteen sits right at Tallebudgera Creek, in front of the Leisure Centre, and it's doing more than the location suggests. Pastries are made on site daily, the Portuguese tarts disappear fast, and the salted caramel milkshake has its own fan base. Coffee comes from Marvell Street in Byron Bay. The broader menu runs to burgers, fish and chips, and sausage rolls, with solid gluten-free bread options. Reviewers call the chips some of the best they've had. Service slows when it's busy, and a few items tip into overpriced territory, but the quality of the baked goods carries the room. Get there early for the pastries.

Yes I will marry you! Liz Pforr3 months ago
Only had time for a quick cuppa and a delish Portuguese tart. I should’ve ordered a few more to go as they’re divine! Will be back to try more of the menu as others orders looked so good.

I ordered biscoff croissant and it went beyond my expectations. It was filled with rich filling and was very satisfying! The sweetness and its flakiness just went perfectly. My friends ordered burgers and fish and chips. They looked and smelled so nice too. It was a perfect atmosphere except for the sudden heavy rain.

Everything here is just so good. But my favourite is their salted caramel milkshake and the sausage rolls

Tarte Bakery & Cafe
Burleigh Heads
The almond croissant and coffee mont blanc have their own fan base at this Burleigh Heads walk-in bakery. The pastry cabinet alone is worth the detour. Arrive early on weekends, skip the risotto, and let the queue be your quality signal.
Tallebudgera Surf Club
Palm Beach
Beachfront dining at Palm Beach with views straight over Tallebudgera and service that regulars keep coming back for. The seafood platter is the order, the chilli prawn pasta is the dark horse, and the recent renovation has made the whole room worth the trip.

Solo Travel Guide: Gold Coast Hinterland
The hinterland is quieter than the coast. For solo travellers, that is the whole point. From organic day spas in Mudgeeraba to valley cafés where the tortoises are more interesting than the other diners, here is how to do the Gold Coast Hinterland alone, and do it well.
Best Rainy Day Activities in the Gold Coast Hinterland
Your outdoor plans got rained out. In the Gold Coast Hinterland, that is not a problem. Waterfalls swell, mist rolls through the canopy, and the roads empty. Here is a flexible menu of what to do instead: day spas, salt caves, wildlife parks, valley cafés, and the pubs that earn their wet-weather crowds.
Your Guide to Currumbin Valley
Twenty minutes from the coast, Currumbin Valley runs dark and quiet along a rainforest-fringed creek that most Gold Coast visitors never find. Rock pools, a café with tortoises in the creek out back, wildlife encounters, and enough walking to justify a long lunch on the way home. Here is how to spend a half-day or full day in one of the Hinterland's most rewarding pockets.
A Romantic Getaway in the Gold Coast Hinterland
The humidity has broken, the valley mist lingers until mid-morning, and the hinterland is at its most atmospheric. This two-day itinerary for couples covers rainforest cafés, serious spa treatments, creek-side dinners, and a float tank session that resets everything. Autumn 2026 is the time to go. Here is exactly how to spend it.
