    I’m voting that this place is the bench mark for all the vegan/vego cafes. Food, service and ambience were top notch. Food was a visual delight and joyful to the taste buds. This visit was a party of 3 and I had ear marked this place when I next visited Gold Coast. Only “complaints” would be: - that they close at 1 pm Mon to Fri and 2 pm on weekends. Wish they opened for dinner as well; - their wicker chairs. They’re not the most comfortable to sit on. However, for that type of food, I’ll put up with it lol - they have no listed phone number. You have to email your reservation or just walk in and take your chance. However, if I was doing a group booking, I’d definitely email. Hope this place continues to shine and keeps its good thing going. I look forward to returning again. Special mention to Katrina for her delightful service and being the joy she was. Thank you.

    Firstly hands down BEST coffee on the GC. Consistently awesome. Fitout is gorgeous - like a little piece of Bali in Mermaid 😍 Then the food is just so delicious, whether just grabbing some toast and toppings (the bread is amazing, all of their preserves so fresh) or a full meal (honestly I can’t fault any of it - but our recent fav is the porridge OMG 🤤🤤) we always have a fantastic time here. Just so happy we live so close and we can make it a regular outing. Thanks Milkman’s Daughter - the best!

    Simply amazing! The pancake is a must try - the combination of sweet, sour and savoury is very unique!! The fact that this place is vegetarian is a bonus on top of the delicious food. Love the decor and ambience as well!

    Everything about The Milkman’s Daughter is amazing. I had the Dulce de leche iced coffee - absolutely amazing!! We ordered the pancakes and mango tacos both did not disappoint. The tacos look small, but they are very filling. Will definitely come back here. Be prepared to wait for a table on weekends, it’s quite popular.

    Cute little cafe close to the mermaid beach. Waited long for the coffee but it was worth a wait as they were running short on staff. The breakfast was delicious. Ordered farmer’s breakfast which was good enough for two people and Jamun shot(lol if you in a hangover from last night). Amazing staff especially the chef who was very courteous.

    It’s called the Milkman’s Daughter and she definitely delivered! This restaurant ticks all the boxes. Food is super healthy & apparently made with fresh organic ingredients. And it still tastes so delicious. I LOVE the aesthetic - think Morocco souk vibes meet Miami. Cute throw pillows everywhere & neutral tones. It’s the best!

    Little vegetarian cafe you will ever find in Gold Coast. There aren't many tables available but still a cosy place. Great coffee, good food and beautiful decor.

    What an amazing way to start the day!! Always a pleasure to have breakfast here, great service, amazing food and drinks in a beautiful atmosphere. Thanks to the girls at the Cafe for bringing an smile to our day 😊😊

    A beautiful cafe with a really great spread of dishes. Beautiful atmosphere, swift service, delicious food. We had the pesto scrambled eggs and the avocado toast. Will be going again.

    Stunning picture perfect cafe, great service, food was divine!!! I consider myself quite fussy with my coffee, but LOVED my caramel latte with oat milk. Had an avocado smash with added halloumi (best I’ve ever had!). The way they prepared this food, all the flavours together, the friendliness of all the employees… Best start to the day! Thank you. Will definitely be back. Sidenote: visited around 10.30am on a Wednesday and this was great because it was not busy! I’ve been once before on the weekend but it’s much more enjoyable when it’s quiet.

    It's a wonderful haven for vegetarians and vegans, offering absolutely amazing food, albeit a bit on the pricier side. The carrot cake, which is the best I've ever had, is simply fantastic!

    I was instantly transported to Bali when I entered this beautifully furnished cafe. We walked down from Broadbeach to give it a try and were not disappointed! The staff are super lovely and the menu has a perfect mix of sweet and savory dishes. While I was eating I turned to my husband and said; "I feel like I'm eating health". It was phenomenal. A must try when visiting (or living in!) the Gold Coast :)

    The best spot in the neighbourhood to have coffee or turmeric latte. We tried the food as well the last few times we went and really enjoyed the grandma's carrot cake, the ricotta pancakes and breakfast dish with rosemary hash browns.

    One of the most gorgeous cafes with the most superb service. 10/10 for ambiance, quality of food, presentation and overall feel! Generous portions which tasted as amazing as it looked. Truly delightful!

    The vibe and staff were extremely friendly! They also have high chairs for the little ones. The food was okay, portion size was pretty good we took some of it home. For us it was pretty pricey. However as the food is all organic, and supplied from farm and local small supplier’s and they cook everything from the scratch you pay for that and it’s fair! Overall, it’s great and healthy options and most of the dishes can be done vegan style which is great! Would love to try the scrambled tofu next time :)

    I absolutely love everything about this cafe - such a fabulous team here. The food is delicious, fresh, unique, nutritious, filling and aesthetic. Super accomodating to dietary requirements too. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting; definitely a cafe with a good vibe! Highly recommend. ☀️✨🏝️💕

    The cafe is very cute and instagramable. The booths have a Greek/Santorini vibe. Presentation of food here is pretty, and also from fresh produce. I ordered an acai bowl and for some reason the order didn't so through so I waited for quite a while. It was ok...I've had better. I'm not a fan of acai in scoops- I like it under all my fruit/nuts etc. My friends vegetarian breakfast was nicer in my opinion.

  • 4/5 Marina S. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place for a lunch if you manage to get a table there. Good food but for me the avo toast was a bit too salty and broccolini (pumpkin fritters) had too distinctive coconut taste (I guess because of the coconut oil). Overall, we liked the food.

  • 5/5 Off We Go C. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing quiet and cozy environment. Food is unbelievable good, with a lot of vegan and vegetarian options. I have tried farmer’s breakfast and it was just delicious!!!!! Special thanks to chef Nathalia, that attended us so well and cooked our food, extremely beautiful plater presentations and flavours complexity! We will be back at least once a week.

    The cutest little vegetarian cafe you will ever find! There aren't many tables available but in my opinion that is what makes it more special! I loved the decoration and the food, my carrot cake was superb, loved every bite of it! A must go!!

  • 4/5 Rana M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great coffee, good food and beautiful decor. I had the pumpkin fritters, a little soft for my liking but had good taste. The staff were nice and I understand it gets busy but I think getting table for the water is fundamental to service - you had to self serve which is fine also but they ran out of water jugs it was a hot day took a while to get some water 😣 I’d go back there

    Absolutely fabulous. One of my favourite breakfast places on the GC, you could come here time and time again and never be disappointed. Have tried many items on the menu and all are delicious and I particularly love their take on iced coffees- the charcoal iced vanilla latte is to die for.

  • 5/5 Samantha H. 1 year ago on Google
    Brought a group of friends here & everyone extremely happy with the coffee & the food. Delicious meals and really well made coffee in beautiful mugs! Staff were also lovely and very fast service.

  • 5/5 Melody B. 2 years ago on Google
    Mmm just delicious. The pancakes on the menu were very alternative and something I wouldn’t normally get but …. They were incredible. The flavours worked so well together and just melted in my mouth.

    Wow what an amazing little place. Humble on the outside and inside is a wonderful warm snug space. The food is naturally delicious and fresh. Excellent, friendly and attentive service
