The almond croissant and the coffee mont blanc are what keep people coming back to this Burleigh Heads staple, and the queue on a weekend morning tells you everything you need to know. Tarte runs two locations, but the Gold Coast Highway spot is walk-in only, so arrive early or accept the wait as part of the deal. The pastry cabinet is the main event: muffin-top cookies, seasonal hot chocolates in winter, and enough options to make ordering genuinely difficult. The sandwiches are generous, the coffee is solid, and the kitchen moves quickly despite the crowd. Service reviews are mixed enough to mention, but the food consistency across hundreds of visits keeps the regulars loyal. Moderate pricing for what is, on its best day, a very good neighbourhood bakery doing the classics well.
We really enjoyed our breakfast at Tarte Bakery & Cafe! The food was absolutely delicious. Everything looked so good that it actually took us quite a while to decide what to order because there were just too many tempting options 🥐🥨🥯☕️ The cafe has a lovely atmosphere, and the location is great too! Plenty of nice shops nearby to explore right after breakfast. Definitely a place I’d highly recommend and would love to come back to! 💛
Didn’t get a chance to take a photo of the drinks.. but my daughter got some of the pastries and it’s EXCELLENT!!! I’m very fussy w my sweets as I dun usually take sweet pastries. But I must say, the pastries here are just right. Sweet in the right places and crumbly where it needs to be! Love it!
the food here is quite delicious! they are willing go make adjustments to the dishes and there are plenty of food on the menu so you don’t run out of options! the sandwiches are huge and the coffee mont blanc is amazing. the food comes out quick despite the amount of people and there’s shading for dogs on a hot summers day.

Varsity Lakes
Lake-facing and larger than it looks, Blackboard Varsity runs a tight ship at Varsity Lakes. The halloumi has its devotees, the 5:30am opens have their regulars, and the coffee art is taken seriously. Get in early; the carpark fills fast.

Currumbin
Window seats overlooking Elephant Rock book out fast at this Currumbin Beach institution. The $35 porterhouse and calamari earn their regulars, the views earn everyone else, and the prices keep whole families coming back week after week.

The Gold Coast Hinterland food scene has moved well past devonshire tea and a view. From a sushi train at $4.80 a plate in Burleigh Waters to a lobster roll over Currumbin Creek and a plant-forward menu sourced from organic valley growers, these are the restaurants worth planning a day around.
The temperature drops somewhere around the Nerang turnoff and the Gold Coast you know disappears in the rear-view mirror. This is how to spend a proper 48 hours in the hinterland: a rainforest lodge, Springbrook's waterfalls, glow-worms at dusk, good food on both sides of the mountain, and a Sunday drive home you will not regret.
Cool autumn mornings, mist over the Numinbah Valley, and a cafe scene that has quietly become worth the drive. From Currumbin Valley's creek-side organic kitchen to the pastry cabinet at Tarte, here are the best cafes and brunch spots in the Gold Coast Hinterland, and the one planning detail that saves your trip.
Despite the crowd, I found this cafe to be unimpressive. My dish of ‘healthy risotto’ was less than average and it wasn’t finished. The only flavour aside from charred kale was lemon so it felt bland and boring.
Atmosphere was good. And service was terrible. All the waiters were very sour faced. Flies too much on table. Food wasn't that good either. Burnt buns and very below the average food. Very rude staffs. I will never go back.
Miami
A Gold Coast Highway pub since 1925, The Miami earns its 4.6 with cold beers, honest bistro prices, and a beer garden a short walk from North Burleigh Beach. The Guinness, poured by Fran, has its own following.
