Old Quarter Coffee Merchants - Southport

Old Quarter Coffee Merchants sits on Stevens Street in Southport, one of the Gold Coast's central hubs near the Broadwater. A specialty coffee roaster and cafe, it's earned a near-flawless reputation for its serious approach to coffee — the kind of dedicated, craft-focused spot that roasts its own beans and draws a devoted following among those who take their cup seriously.

The appeal is that focus on genuinely good, freshly roasted specialty coffee in a relaxed setting, perfect for a proper cup while exploring Southport. In a city with a growing coffee scene, a roaster earning a near-perfect rating really stands out as somewhere getting both the coffee and the experience just right.

A 4.9 rating from more than 230 reviews is an excellent result and a strong endorsement. Menus, opening hours and offerings change, and a popular cafe gets busy at peak times, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a great coffee, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated by Southport's coffee lovers.
