After a two hour drive to pick up a purchase... we needed food! Closest place by so became an easy choice. We decided on nachos and a sanga accompanied by two fresh OJs. Beautifully presented and delivered by beautiful staff. The toilet was a bit of an adventure but added a tinge of excitement. Had a chat with the owner and couldn’t be more impressed. From a hospo background I know how it can be, but these guys exceeded my expectations.
If we ever venture far from home again... we’ll know where to go �
This has now become my favourite coffee place on the coast.
Food is fabulous, amazing views, lovely owner & staff, and as for the coffee.....yummmmmmm. Love it!
I'm writing this review as after personally thanking the staff individually I still feel it is not enough to express my wonderful morning there. With stunning views even on a cloudy day, food to fit whatever takes your fancy, alongside a passionate owner who thrives on making the perfect coffee - i can only think to myself its not even lunchtime and its made my day. Many thanks
This is Burleigh’s hidden secret with a spectacular view of a beautiful tranquil lake and just 400 metres from Burleigh beach 😁
Breakfast is a standout for me at Lakeview.
I have tried the Morning Bruschetta, Breakfast Gnocchi, The Rosti Stack and the Vegan Delight ( over time - not all in one sitting 🤣 and all the meals were delicious.
The service is quick and the coffee is exceptional
I now drive out of my way every weekend to get a coffee here, the coffee is consistently great and the food is creatively prepared with quality ingredients.
( BTW also great for a daily coffee on the commute to work and u can ring ahead )
Dylan and the crew always offer friendly service and even remember what coffee you drink ✅
This is now my regular hang!!
Voted best coffee on the Coast by the local news paper and I now understand why. What a great little spot opposite a beautiful water ways. Friendly service, complementary sparkling water on arrival, Melbourne style coffee without the pretentiousness. We had a lovely fathers day lunch, thanks for squeezing us in last minute.
This place is excellent. A really relaxed atmosphere with fantastic coffee and delicious food. The menu offers a variety of dishes with a good price range. Their cakes are also extremely well-priced and yummy. It’s a great place!
Surfers Paradise is usually our go-to Gold Coast location (and Amimoto my go-to lunch spot), but when the Ekka holiday rocked around, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to head down the coast on an adventure. I heard of Lakeview Espresso and convinced the SO to take us to lunch there. ‘Pretty’ and ‘idyllic’ were my first impressions of Lakeview Espresso. Nestled comfortably in the midst of neat homes and quiet streets, Lakeview Espresso has a soothing view of the lake and small kids’ playground across the street. If your tyke is being fussy, I recommend taking them over for a quick play while you’re waiting for your order.
Coffee to die for, (best on the gold coast) delicious oozing eggs in the Benedict, every time. My husband gets the breakfast burrito and is never disappointed. Keep up the good work team!!
Great breakfast spot, mostly locals. Nice view of lake. Granola very filling, tasted great, a nice coffee and croissant fresh and buttery. $23 all up so good value for money!

Driving by you would think the more appropriate name for this charming, open QLD cafe would be "Roadview". Staff here mixed up the drinks quickly, and served the family next to us with a most delicious looking good spread. Nice work!
Things have changed here since the lower Reviews I think, and I love it! Being a local (I haven't been living in the area long) I get to be a regular and that does make me smile. The coffee is smooth without tasting like milk, a massive plus in my book. The food compliments how good the coffee is, Love the mushroom burger and the Truffle hollandaise on the Eggs Benedict. The Opening times seem to be incorrect for this place. They DO Breakfast 7 days a week!
Great little spot I am glad we finally tried. Great coffee and food so very well priced (under priced if you compare the rest of coffee shops in the area). After a totally unnoticed delay the owner came over and gave us a complimentary raw espresso chocolate brownie to try!! Loved the general store feel with out trying to be too trendy. Will definitely be back.
There have been fabulous changes made to this café since we first visited. What it has retained is the laid back, organic down-to-earth feel; a place where locals stop in to pick up a coffee and paper while walking their dogs, greet each other by name, sit and have breakfast overlooking the lake, where artists hang their work for sale… There should be a place like this in every community, we think.
Supreme customer service and absolutely excellent food, really enjoyed coming here so we came back the second day to see if the service was the same being a Sunday. Just as fast and they even remembered us, absolute delight coming here and will be back whenever I’m down from Brisbane ✅ thanks guys
Ok lets be honest here, this place is the best Cafe in the entire Gold Coast for breakfast. The staff are great and friendly, the kiwi chef is amazing and every meal I've had here is a party in mouth.
I've not had a bad meal here and I look forward to their summer menu.
Please don't go to this Cafe I don't want it too booked up so I can get a seat when I want to go. 😁
New staff and owners by the looks of things. Prices are a little higher than expected. Service polite but we waited 45 minutes for food with only one other party seated / ordering. When the food arrived it was delicious and the chef came and personally apologised and gave us a complimentary drink each. So I reckon when they hit their stride they’ll do really well.
*** UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT & ITS GREAT**
Food: Absolutely delicious I cannot tell you how happy I was with my meal.
Breakfast Bruschetta - Fresh, delicious, home made, well seasoned, well presented.
Scrambled Eggs & Bacon - Delicious, hot off the stove, amazing, perfect portion.
The chocolate thick shake is DELICIOUS. Like so yum I crave it even now!!
Service: The manager name is Al. Very passionate about cuisine and lives for customer interaction and satisfaction. Which I’ve gotta tell ya he will always get from me and my partner.
This is a re-write of a previous review for Lakeview. I just couldn’t have it out there knowing just how much the place has improved.
Bookings: No bookings you’ll have to just get down there and hope for the best.
This is the best hidden gem on the coast. The staff are all amazingly friendly, the lattes are excellent, and the food is top notch quality.
Every time I get a new dish I'm constantly amazed at the chef's creativity and presentation - every dish is stunning (and delicious)!
They have a beautiful little assortment of locally made produce and items from the local community, and they have their own little veggie and herb garden that they use for super fresh ingredients in their food.
Fab spot!! Our favourite.
Finally nice to enjoy a quality breakfast in burleigh, something we haven't had for a while. Food was delicious and the coffee was the best I have had. Peaceful spot 👍
Really lovely meal and very warm welcome – I'd love to recommend this lovely restaurant and will try to go back again with my dogs. Excellent environment, friendly service, great menu choices and really decent food and at affordable prices. We tried chicken ala cuban toastie and sweet potato & lentils soup. Really nice to spend the time on Sunday lunch here.
