Danni Whittaker
Hands down my fav coffee shop on the coast! The staff are all super nice and friendly, coffee is awesome and the food is really good. The best start to the day! Good vibes always ❤️ You guys should open a bar 😉

Andrew and George were super friendly dudes who knew their stuff. Coffee was great, best I’ve had in Surfers, and the service was super fast. Will be coming back next time. Thanks guys!!

Small coffee shop centrally located under the Soul Building. Coffee was great, and the Almond Croissant was very fresh . Place was very busy at 7.30 in the morning, but staff were pleasant and efficient.

An institution in Surfers, loved by many. Coffee is by far the best in surfers. I highly recommend this little GEM. Get in early...line is long

Takeaway a cup of decafe latte ☕️ because it's not the first time I've visited, I'm impressed that the coffee is good. So took my friend to taste. I was looking forward to it and finally disappointed. the result is like drinking diluted milk, although Decafe but the taste of coffee is very light, milk taste is also very light. It could be an occasional mistake.

Not been here for ages and just popped in for a coffee and had the worst coffee. Asked for a almond latte and got what could only be described as something my nan would make at home. Not good

All l seek, just once a day, is one (just one) absolutely amazing coffee served by lovely, dedicated, hard-working people who actually know how to make great coffee with great ingredients. My go-to whenever l come to the GC for the ultimate coffee experience! Bianca, please know that what you have created is so incredibly special, worthwhile, and positively addictive! ❤️

I’m a very fussy coffee drinker. Couldn’t fault these guys they made it just the way I like and service was pretty quick and with a smile. I discovered them the last day of my trip, kinda wish I found them sooner. The only thing I wish is that they had a medium size cup (they only do large and small).

Best coffee ever! Whenever I’m in Torquay I can’t keep away from this place.. ����

The best coffee on earth..... smooth, strong and creamy, love your coffee, flavour balanced....
Rigo Wolf
Brilliant. Go regularly from Brisneyland all the way to the coast with a stop in as a highlight of the trip. THAT'S how good the coffee, service, location and experience all are. Won't single out any staff, as they are all so accommodating and thus far, unfaltering. Oh...and dig music. They have great taste in that too. Cost wise... great, as the options on milk are no extra charge (or only 50c) Either way, better than many others. Cakes...superb. Sea breeze... perfection. Best Coffee joint on the Coast by far.

Honestly so rude, over priced, and felt extremely uncomfortable after ordering. Not a good experience here at all last Monday.

I had the worst almond flat white ever!!!When you use inferior milk you will lose customers!!!!
Cristine Quinn
Well the coffee is GREAT but you know what's exceptional??? The customer service! Always greeted by a smiling, happy face at this place. Love it!

I really like the blend of coffee that they use here and milklab almond milk goes perfectly with it. The baristas are super friendly and easy to talk to

hands down THE best coffee in australia in my opinion! consistently good every single time. i never miss coming here whenever i’m in the gold coast.
Michael Chien
Good coffee and service. Decent toasty and fairly priced. Have been coming here a few times for coffee and a quick bite during the holiday stay at Surfers Paradise.
Ryan
Very good coffee ☕ matched with very good service. Simple and quality. That's what you want. Definitely one of the bestin surfers, other places just don't meet it
Hungry Tum
These guys make an awesome coffee - my favourite in Surfers Paradise. They also provide sparkling water for those who like to cleanse their palate before drinking a coffee.

Excellent coffee. In front of surfers beach... staff were friendly and nice to our little dogs so we decided to take seat.. seems like dog friendly cafe.. I loved their coffee, honestly, I think one of the best coffee I have ever had.. (my partner said coffee was weak even he got double shots in small take away so I guess you might need to get 3 shots if you love strong one!) we will be back when we go to Gold Coast 😆 thank you!
Dani Callanan
This place has the best coffee blend and the friendliest staff! I highly recommend the blueberry bagels with both cream cheese and jam. They're delicious.
Vink
One of my go to coffee places in Surfer's. Love the hipster vibe and commitment to coffee. It's a teeny tiny space so there isn't much opportunity to sit down for brunch. The menu is small but on point. They have a great selection of pastries and toasties.
Nads
Their coffee is so good ..... to the extent that i wakeup everyday craving it. I tried piccolo and cold latte both are good , the staff are also very friendly. Good luck
Roslyn Foo
This cutie barista made my day so I'm sharing with you! Great vibes, cool people and such simple business - just good coffee, brewing daily at Surfers Paradise 🙌☕️🏃🏻‍♀️awesome view of the sea and love the self service sparkling mineral water on tap!
Gabbys79
Super funky coffee shop that makes you think you could be in Sydney's Surry Hills.. But besides that they actually make an amazing coffee! Best one I'd had in all my stay!
Nahida Kaddoura
Fab coffee fab service it's been a whole week of enjoying awesome coffee at ESPL on our short stay in surfers! Wish I could take you back to Perth!

Updated review<br/>I used to rate this number 1. This visit it wasn't the same. Coffee was often too hot, burnt and the glasses for coffee were dirty. Great location still however. <br/><br/>Review 25/6/16<br/>Must be the number 1 coffee in Surfers Paradise. I know this is not saying much - but this place would do well in Melbourne. Quality coffee made well. They stick to what they know and clearly recruit good baristas. Location is perfect. Let's hope this one stays around.

Great coffee and small selection of tasty bites to go with. You're at surfers and need a coffee? Then come here. Some local artisan pastries might tempt you and you'd be wrong to not buy. <br/>Sit on one of the lovely benches across the road, right on the beach, under pandanus trees with coffee and treats and you'll regret nothing.
BecA
As a Melbourne girl I am always steeling myself for sub-par coffee when I'm away from home, but these guys nailed my morning fix... Thank you!!! Pastries were all top-shelf also. Skip your expensive and crappy hotel buffet and grab breaky to eat on the promenade with these guys!
Lifelovetravelfood
Excellent coffee! Great that they have almond milk on offer. Coffee is strong (I did get double shots) and very smooth. Quickly made and extremely tasty. Top coffee spot!
Abhinav B Mehta
Great coffee. Tried the iced coffee as well as the hot options. They have limited food options but I guess you will go here only if you want to have a coffee. Great location and cheerful staff.
Kate Parrott
Amazing coffee. Best we've had on the Gold Coast so far. Went here with my family for a quick caffeine hit - we ordered flat whites, an iced coffee and a cold drip. Everyone loved theirs, amazing flavor. ESPl coffee make their own grind which you can buy in bags also. Just be aware it is more of a takeaway coffee location, they do have seats but they are limited. If in Surfers again I would go back.

I only went in for a coffee (which was average) but was happily surprised to find that they sold these Nutella stuffed donuts. They are delicious! Great way to get your sugar fix. Coffee came out promptly. And service was alright too
Grace Zhang
Drink a coffee like a beer! We saw this cafe by chance. It's a small nice cafe in the busy place. Just stop by, have a bottle of iced coffee and enjoy your summer. Love the ice cream sandwich, a bit cheaper would be perfect though.

Very close to Cavil Ave and right on the beach front. We only had Coffee there each morning but it is a great place to chill on a beautiful sunny morning sipping some great coffee and watching people pass. The coffee is great, well worth finding this little gem.
Sacha Curie
Loved the coffee and the pastries! Great spot as well just off Cavill Avenue in the Soul Boardwalk and just across the road from the beach!!

Just off the frontage of the Esplanade in a tiny shop front with communal tables. Popular with regulars (mostly take-aways) and tourists equally. Menu features simple coffees, snacks and meals and the cafe theme is fresh, and environmentally sustainable. The young friendly, cheerful, efficient and unflappable barista is kept busy, but the wait is well worth it. The espresso features a dense crema highlighting zesty fruit, good acid balance, no trace of bitterness and a hint of natural caramel sweetness. A fountain offers carbonated, filtered and chilled water available in recycled glass bottles or by the glass. This is an eco-friendly establishment with an emphasis on friendly service, quality and value in a light, cheerful locale.
The Invisible Food Critic
Very flavorsome coffee, strong, aromatic, fluffy and just great! Pretty good location and obviously quite busy on a Saturday. Service was fast and staff was friendly, definitely one of my top choices for coffee in Surfers!
Mr B
Nice location for a coffee. Consistently good espresso style coffee. Filtered water on tap is a plus as a lot of places give unfiltered tap water which has a strong chorine smell in GC

How did I miss it. A lazy Sunday drove me to the esplanade as it usually does. Dire need of a coffee had me seeking shops without queue. Initially I thought Espl. Coffee was new, but a word with the well mannered barista informed me it was running for near 2.5 years! I had a soy piccalo and it was perfect. I would definitely return.
Marj Osborne
It’s some of the smoothest coffee we’ve tasted, lush and creamy, and you can request it how you like it – filtered, to your preferred temperature, even aeropressed, served in three sizes in china or fully compostable, biodegradable cups.

Bad customer service. I am quite appalled at the customer service at the ESPL coffee shop in surfers, I went in there Sunday morning ( 15th march)to get a morning coffee , I was the ONLY customer in the shop and both of the girls couldn't even acknowledge me after 5 minutes of standing there waiting to order, they weren't busy at all, they were just being rude,I ended up just walking out and going to the coffee shop down the road where I actually got customer service . I'm in customer service my self, and even if u are busy it's nice to say hi, and that u will be with them shorty! ( it's not hard)
Melissa Byard
Best coffee I have had in Gold Coast! Very smooth. And decent quality almond milk is available here too. Oh and can't forget great service; friendly and helpful :D
Matthew Bourke
Holiday Bliss. The best coffee in town by a mile. Made my holiday
Bill.beauie
Great coffee! The perfect start for each day on our GoldCoast holiday was a walk on the beach, a quick swim and a great coffee from ESPL.
Jj_chili
Good coffee. But this is not an ice cream/dessert place. Why is it categorized as dessert place?. Nice view. Good coffee. The dude making coffee is real enthusiastic about his coffee.
Carmen
The Best Coffee. Love this place, always great coffee.
Oznulife
One of the best. The coffee here is one of the best among other shops. Keep it up !
Tamara Leonard
The coffee was good, nothing to rave about though.. I'm not from surfers though so not sure what the quality is like around here, I would assume better than average.. Service was nice but it welcoming or friendly just going through the motions.. Overall not that impressed
Anthony Sumbati
Small, Special & superb coffee <br/>Great place for a quick snack & pick me up
Danielle Roxanne
Nice cafe. The coffee at this location is good and the milk temperature and texture are beautiful. Great location on the beach front. The one problem encountered was the loud rap music that kinda killed the vibe, but all and all I would still go back here.
Fish
Love this place. Amazing location and modern fitout make ESPL stand out from the rest. Coffee was great and staff were pretty chilled out. Only problem was they didn't do large coffees in mugs - only one size. First world problems! Overall a top spot.<br/>Almonds croissants are worth a visit alone 👌🏽
Hamish The Opinionated
If you are looking for a good coffee in surfers, then this a good little place to drop into. Plus there is ocean views!
Jette
Awesome coffee. Discovered this little place a few days into our stay in Surfers, wish I'd found it right at the start. FANTASTIC coffee and great baristas, they knew our order after just a couple of visits.. aprobably becuase we were there twice each morning!
P
These chaps are serious about their coffee. Recommended!
DianaW
Diana. Sorry but I found the coffee quite milky with hardly any flavour coming through & for the teenie weeny cup size should have had plently of flavour even with one shot. $3.80 for that small size was a little over the top too. Plenty of better places for coffee in Surfers, however the barista could have had a bad day so will revisit to check for consistancy to be fair
