Sunnyboy Espresso

Sunnyboy Espresso is a small, beachside café on Hedges Ave in Mermaid Beach, just steps from the ocean. Its intimate setting is designed around the feel of sunny Gold Coast days, with a welcoming atmosphere and a relaxed sense of place. It is a natural stop for coffee, breakfast, lunch or drinks when you are spending time near the beach.

The food offering changes with the seasons, so the menu is intended to bring something new while retaining a few popular favourites. Coffee is a focus, with specialty coffee from Social Espresso. Sunnyboy also has its own house blend, created in collaboration with Gold Coast roaster Parallel Roasters, with retail packs available for taking home.

For a more leisurely visit, the venue offers a boozy brunch featuring one hour of bottomless mimosas with a choice of meal for $49 per person. It is available daily from 10am to 1pm, with a one-for-all policy for the table and no bookings required. Sunnyboy also sells gift vouchers, making it an option for anyone looking to give a café experience or coffee-related gift.

The café comes from the team behind Elk Espresso, bringing that experience to a new Mermaid Beach address. With its changing menus, beach-adjacent location and coffee-led offering, Sunnyboy suits a casual solo coffee, a relaxed meal or a daytime catch-up, without needing to overcomplicate the visit.
