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 Pforr4 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.

We regularly drive from 25 mins away to visit CC and get our coffees/snacks because it's just so worth it. Even when they're busy they are still super friendly- which is rare these days. Food and drinks are always delicious and our dog loves that she always gets such a nice greeting too. Great spot, thanks to the owner and staff for all their effort.

Currumbin Valley
Tortoises in the creek, coffee trees at the entrance, and a plant-forward menu sourced from local organic growers. The Earth Buckwheat Wrap is the thing to order. Sit outside, watch the water, and let the valley do its work.
Currumbin RSL
Currumbin
The chicken parmi comes with chips that could feed a small family, the creek-side Deck is the go-to for celebrations, and the staff are genuinely good at their jobs. A Gold Coast RSL that earns its Friday night crowds.
