Why it's worth checking out
Old Quarter Coffee Merchants sits on Griffith Street at Coolangatta, on the southern Gold Coast. A much-loved coffee roaster and cafe — known for its Vietnamese coffee heritage — it's earned a near-flawless reputation, combining genuinely excellent, freshly roasted coffee with quality cafe fare and a relaxed, characterful setting, the kind of dedicated spot that coffee lovers seek out.
The appeal is that combination of seriously good, freshly roasted coffee (with a distinctive Vietnamese influence), quality cafe fare and a relaxed atmosphere in a convenient Coolangatta location, ideal for a serious cup, a casual bite or a relaxed catch-up. A dedicated roaster-and-cafe that's nailed its craft, with a genuine point of difference, really stands out, and the near-perfect feedback speaks to a spot that's delighting its customers.
A 4.9 rating from more than 120 reviews is an excellent result and a strong sign of a well-loved, well-run cafe. The coffee offering, any food, opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular cafe gets busy on weekend mornings, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for genuinely excellent coffee, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Old Quarter at Coolangatta.
