Why it's worth checking out
Forest sits on Scarborough Street in Southport, a central hub on the Gold Coast. A strong 4.7 rating across 137 reviews — a remarkable score for that many — marks it as a genuine local favourite.
The appeal is a consistently well-loved cafe with a devoted following — somewhere to settle in for a great coffee, a bite and a catch-up, often with a Japanese-inspired touch. Its Southport location makes it an easy and welcoming stop.
Cafe menus, specials and trading hours change over time, and weekends can get busy. If you're after a particular dish or specific opening hours, it's worth confirming the current details directly with the cafe before you head over.
