Gold Coast~Australia
Australia was always on the top of my list of places to travel and I finally made it! This has been one of my favorite travel destinations and I’m already itching to get back. My travels were based in Miami, Burleigh Heads, Coolangatta, Noosa, and Byron Bay. Some I stayed multiple nights and others I only spend a few hours, but here are some of my favorite food finds and what I enjoyed.
Noosa:
Cafe 63
We randomly stumbled upon this place after our flight and little drive up here. There are many cute and tasty places to try here, but this spot had room for us, shade, and this plate under the Gluten Free menu! Legit all my favorite foods on one plate~Salmon, Veggies, and Fries.
Noosa, Australia
Burleigh Heads:
Street Corner Espresso
Our friends took us to one of their favorite spots and it quickly became one of mine. Had an Almond Milk Chai and the Breaky Salad-never thought I’d get a salad for breakfast, but it was so good! Gluten Free Pancakes with Coconut Yogurt and Berry Compote were also ordered and wow~
Be Somewhere Cafe
Cute spot with outdoor seating in a random alley way. I got the GF/DF Muesli with had fruit, coconut yogurt, and nuts/seeds with a Chai of course! Toasties(basically a breakfast sandwich) were ordered as well and looked tasty.

Social Brew
Right by Be Somewhere Cafe. Lots of seating and fun options! I got the Green Eggs with an Almond milk Chai and it was all so delicious. I’m personally not a poached egg fan so next time I would just get them scrambles.

Finn Poke
This place was great for a quick meal with fresh poke and veggies. We found their are multiple through out the coast.

Paddock Bakery
Cute cafe with nice outdoor seating. Was very busy, but we got the avocado toast on fresh sourdough bread and an acai bowl with peanut butter!
Helen’s Bulk Foods
Found this place on our last day and it’s full of all the gluten free and vegan goods! I got the Coco whip with vegan chocolate sauce, strawberries, and a raw snickers treat. You must try a raw snickers at some point because they are a delight! I also ordered a slice of nut/seed bread which came with almond butter~truly a dream.

Burleigh Pavilion
Great for a sunset drink! Very aseptically pleasing for those looking to get some good pics~also some of the best cocktails we’ve had. We got the Pink Gin Kombucha(sub vodka) and the Burleigh Hill-definetly a favorite!
Cocktails!
Byron Bay:
Byron Fresh
Super cute cafe just off the main street. They offer lots of fun goods, I got the Apple Chia Pudding topped with coyo yogurt. So refreshing and filling!

Sunday Sustainable Bakery
This is where I originally found the Coco whip sundae and I went back the next day to get it again! Dairy free, gluten free, and full of probiotics~how could I not enjoy it all day everyday?! Also loved this place because they used a pink llama as their logo.

The Balcony
Great view for sunset and awesome happy hour specials.
Miss Margarita
If you’re craving some Mexican food then head hear! Right across from Byron Fresh and a fun atmosphere. I got the Burrito bowl and left nothing behind.
Top Shop Cafe
Small but cute cafe up in the neighborhood. I got the Brekky sandwich on a gluten free bun and it was one of the best GF buns I’ve had! I’m usually a more sweet breakfast type, but I was feelin this savory option~

Coolangatta:
Raw Energy
This place is also found in multiple places, but this one overlooks the beach! I got the Turkey Goji Berry bowl-so filling, there were also wraps, burritos, and a Mexican chicken bowl ordered with a side of sweet potato fries. For dessert-which was eaten first-I got the Peanut butter raw treat and I’m still thinking about it.
These were the main spots I enjoyed! There were a few others along the way, but there are so many fun spots to get to while you’re there~you really can’t go too wrong.
