The avocado on toast with halloumi has a following here, and once you've had it watching the sun come up over Mermaid Beach, you'll understand why. BSKT has been feeding the Gold Coast's health-conscious crowd since 2013, and the formula holds: a menu that covers vegan, gluten-free, keto, and paleo without feeling like a compromise, served across a sprawling mix of indoor tables, outdoor patio, and curbside spots. The Byron Bay Hallowed Salad and the Spiced Tofu Poke Bowl both earn their place. Coffee is reliable, smoothies are fresh, and brunch for two lands around $70. Service is generally warm, though a handful of reviews suggest the ordering system can occasionally misfire. The kids' playground out the back makes it a genuine family stop. Skip the WiFi and order at the counter to avoid any confusion.

What People Say
Himalay Patel4 months ago
We stopped into BSKT for the first time today and it honestly lived up to everything people say about it. The location is hard to beat: right next to the beach with a mix of indoor tables, outdoor spots, curbside seating, and even a kids’ playground tucked out the back. We started with mochas and an almond croissant, and both were solid. For mains we went with the Byron Bay Hallowed Salad and the Spiced Tofu Poke Bowl. You can tell they put real effort into the healthy side of the menu without making it feel boring, 5/5 in food and service. If I’m being honest, prices across the Gold Coast have crept up everywhere, and good brunch for two hitting around the $70 mark feels like the new normal. That said, the experience here makes it feel worth the visit. Good first impression, and we’ll definitely be back.

The coffee is solid, and I’ve only dealt with lovely wait staff. There is tons of outside patio seating as well as an indoor space that’s overflowing with natural light and usually has windows open, letting in the breeze from the ocean which is just steps away. They also have outlets which is nice if you’re working. However, I’m rating this 4-stars because the WiFi literally never works and none of the staff ever seem to have an answer as to why. The attitude is generally “some days it works, some days it doesn’t.” If you’re looking to chat with a friend or read a book, it’s not an issue, but not a reliable place to get some work done if that’s your goal.

Burleigh Waters QLD
At $4.80 a plate, Honba's sushi train punches well above its price point. The aburi selection is the draw, particularly the cheese salmon roll and scallop, but the karaage chicken and crispy salmon skins are the sleeper hits. Arrive early. The dinner waitlist is real.
McDonald's Burleigh Heads
Burleigh Heads
Late-night drive-through on the Gold Coast Highway, open when almost nothing else is. Fresh nuggets are a highlight according to regulars, though cleanliness and portion sizes can be hit and miss. Best approached via the app, ideally after midnight.
