Had brunch at Le Cafe Gourmand and absolutely loved it! The food was tasty and well-prepared, and the staff were incredibly nice and amazing—very welcoming and attentive. Definitely a great spot for a relaxed and delicious meal. Highly recommended!
Food and coffee is always delicious. The baguettes are so tasty! Such friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. One of my favourite cafes on the Gold Coast!
ABSOLUTELY 💯. Love the croissant, super soft inside and really buttery. The French butter makes it even better. Keen to try other things, but I’d definitely come back just for the croissant.
Best brunch experience is this beautiful café. We were really looked after by the host. We ordered an éclair and the mushroom goat cheese tartine 😍😍 My partner is French and he truly enjoyed the delicacy of flavours.
September 2025 It was my first visit to La Café Gourmand, and I absolutely loved it! The café is nicely set up and decorated, with comfortably appointed sitting areas. The service was amazing, and the food was delicious with great quality. It will definitely go on my favorite list of cafés at Gold Coast. Thank you!
Absolutely Delightful French Café / Restaurant. Located on the corner of Cronulla Avenue and Gold Coast Highway, Mermaid Beach. Offering, Indoor and Outside Dining Options. Beautiful Décor inside. Received Very Friendly and Welcoming Service. Has a Well thought out Menu. With lots of Traditional French Favourites. Had the Escargot. Which was Perfectly Prepared in a Garlic Butter Sauce. Accompanied with Bacon and Mushrooms and a Baguette. Fabulous Value for Money.
My favourite cafe on the Gold Coast!! The staff are always so sweet and the barista remembered my name and order after visiting once 🥹 The food is always delicious, my favourites are the savoury crepe and breakfast croissant burger! Their matcha is also really yummy and I actually love the forest matcha (matcha with a shot of espresso) too. The vibes are great and I’ve spent many days studying there for hours without ever feeling like I’m loitering. Highly recommend visiting!!!
One of my favourite cafes in Mermaid Beach and on the Gold Coast! Consistently exceptional coffee, food and service. The entire vibe of this cafe is extremely warm and relaxing. Do yourself a favour and visit this beautiful small business ☕️
Our Favourite French cafe, service is friendly and helpful. Food is great, interesting drink specials. Unfortunately the ham and cheese croissant was a bit over cooked this time.
Thank you, ladies, for making this our favourite café on the Gold Coast. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming — not just to us, but to our dogs too. We absolutely love the casual, spacious seating and the calm, unhurried atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot to catch up with friends (both human and furry!) over breakfast or brunch. And the baguettes… have I mentioned the baguettes? A definite must-try. Our favourites are Le Classic (traditional French ham and cheese) and the Tuna baguette. If you’re after something more Aussie-style, how about the Bacon & Egg baguette — it’s our son’s favourite! Without a doubt, our favourite café on the Gold Coast.
