A little gem on the Gold Coast. Great smoothies and family friendly!

 

My girls had a blast exploring outside of this gorgeous Miami cafe!

The inside is beautiful, but the outdoor vibe is where it’s at! Relaxing and eating under big beautiful trees, surrounded by flowers, veggie patches and a huge passionfruit vine! This place has character, and it reminds me of a scaled down version of ‘The Grounds’ in Alexandria, Sydney. Which is one of my favourite places to eat in Sydney :) so now… i think i’ve found my favourite little spot on the Gold Coast!

Oh! And there’s a VERY cool shop down the road called Trader Trove which sells a jaw dropping selection of Moroccan rugs, Turkish pillows, wall art, and rattan furniture!
