    I wanted try Japanese crepes today. Shop is inside building and taste same as Japan. I love it. Shop is muncheez Japanese street foods. There are many goods shop in markets. Open air and good Sunday family go out. It was less shop than before covid. But still many things there.

    Great place, more NEW shops opening. Hungry hub was amazing for breakfast. The Collectables and card shop that was just opened in the big shed next to the deli had so much cool stuff. Think it was The Cardboard Defender and something else.

    It's always a great place for a day out on the weekend at the Gold Coast. I enjoy making this a day trip about every 3 months. The bonus is that about 60% of the market stalls are undercover, so great for a light rainy day. There is a wide selection of stalls from clothing to antiques, kitchen ware, plants, pots, shoes, fresh produce, meat, delis, alternative therapies, and toys, to name just a few. I always love starting early with a relaxed breakfast in one of the many cafes. It is lovely to see all the new stores. No empty spaces. Highly recommended. Enjoy yourself.

    So went to Carrara markets on the weekend. Have to say they are looking a bit tired and old. The car boot sales there are awesome though with a huge range of things to buy from plants, clothes, collectables to toys, coins and plenty of second hand goods for everyone. Well worth the visit

    My 5 year old Leo & my fave family time is dropping in on a Saturday. So many little adventures await, it’s a great outdoor stroll with engaging shops; Mr Brix, live music, pet shops, clairvoyant through to pots, plants & some great food. Some lovely market stall owners. A lovely way to go out for some free family fun.

    Great place for household items like plants, balcony tables, toys, ornaments. The pot shop is great for beautiful plant pots. Looking a little tired now. Never changes from 1 year to the next.

    Great car boot sale on Sundays. Lots of stalls, fruit and veg, food outlets and activities for kids like mini golf. One of the best markets on the coast.

    Carrara Markets is claimed to be the Australian largest outdoor marketplace. It is fun to visit and their prices are generally cheaper than the cities. Highly recommend if you are visiting Gold Coast.

    So many stalls, and very unique and interesting things! Every stall vendor I spoke to or bought something from is so passionate about what they sell, it's lovely. Lots of places to stop for lunch while you're there. We often go to buy swords, crystals and witchy items, art and decor.

    Car boot sale on Sundays is awesome, and there are lots of treasures to buy. Food has great selection for Sunday breakfast, love the bacon and egg burger starting from $6.50. Plenty of parking too.

    I recently had a delightful visit to Carrara Markets, and it was a wonderful experience. There was so much to see and do, making it an enjoyable outing for all. The variety of stalls and vendors offered a wide range of products, from handmade crafts to fresh produce. During our visit, we took a break to grab a snack and a refreshing drink. The quality of the food and beverages was impressive, and they provided a tasty treat to keep us energised as we explored the market. The friendly atmosphere and lively ambiance added to the overall enjoyment of the day. I'm already looking forward to returning to Carrara Markets in the near future. It's a fantastic place to spend time, whether you're looking for unique finds or simply want to soak up the vibrant market atmosphere. Highly recommended!

    During this year's Easter 🐣 break we took the family to these awesome markets. They had an awesome selection of yummy food which we had some bah mi. Then the kids went to the petting zoo full of friendly animals and lots of fun there. Also my daughter had one of her dreams come true which was a 🐎 horsey ride although it was a pony. It was great to see the excitement and happiness on her face. Thank you for a great family fun day

    Great place to bring the family or go for a walk yourself. There's everything. Toys to home remedies. Handmade dresses for you to a petting zoo for the kids. Heck. Gel blaster guns to records. See it for yourself and enjoy what suits. There's a great variety of food options. Thai food, all day breakfast places, churros and more. Highly recommend trying the dim sims from Tommy's Chinese at back of the market. DELCIOUS. There's antique stores collectors stores. You name it. You may just find it. They also have awesome art statues made from recycled wood. Spot a shark, snake and a kangaroo they are interactive, as in people/kids can climb in them for fun or photos. Recommend their fathers day car show. A hit. I'll always come back to the Carrara Markets.

    We have been going to Hungry Hub at Carrara Markets for breakfast on occasion and its really good. The service is great, they have a good menu and the food is quality and presented really well. Carrara Markets overall is often just dismissed by locals but this cafΓ© is great and definitely worth a visit.
