Why it's worth checking out

Cafe Alfons sits on Thomas Drive in Surfers Paradise, in the heart of the Gold Coast's most famous precinct. A much-loved cafe, it's become a genuine local favourite — the kind of welcoming, quality spot that draws a steady stream of regulars for good coffee and food in a relaxed, friendly setting away from the busiest tourist strip.

The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a relaxed, neighbourhood feel in a convenient Surfers Paradise location, ideal for a morning coffee, a leisurely brunch or a casual catch-up. A quality local cafe with a genuine community feel stands out in a busy tourist area, and Cafe Alfons has clearly won over a loyal following.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 700 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular cafe gets busy on weekend mornings, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a coffee and a casual bite, it's often just a matter of dropping in and finding a spot among the regulars in Surfers Paradise.
