Why it's worth checking out
ESPL Coffee Brewers sits on the Soul Boardwalk on the Esplanade in Surfers Paradise, right by the beach in the Gold Coast's most famous holiday hub. A much-loved coffee spot, it makes the most of its prime beachfront position — combining quality coffee and good cafe fare with a relaxed, easygoing atmosphere and a fantastic location steps from the sand.
The appeal is that combination of quality coffee, good cafe fare and an unbeatable beachfront Esplanade location, ideal for a morning coffee, a casual bite or a caffeine fix right by the beach. A quality coffee spot in such a prime beachside position is a real winner, and ESPL has clearly won over both locals and the many visitors to Surfers.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 700 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. The coffee offering, any food, opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular beachfront spot gets busy on weekends and over summer, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a great coffee by the beach, it's often just a matter of dropping in at ESPL on the Surfers Paradise Esplanade.
