Custard Canteen

Custard Canteen sits on the Gold Coast Highway at Palm Beach, on the relaxed southern Gold Coast. 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, characterful setting.

The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a relaxed atmosphere in a convenient Palm Beach location, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee or a casual catch-up. A cafe that's nailed both its food and its coffee becomes a real local fixture, and Custard Canteen has clearly won over a loyal following on the southern coast.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 760 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 great brunch and a quality coffee, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated at Palm Beach.
