However you plan to spend this Easter long weekend, there’s no doubt that food should be a large part of it. From hot cross buns to eggs of all kinds, here are some of the best Easter treats on the Gold Coast.
Paddock Bakery, Burleigh Heads
A classic for treats year-round, but especially at Easter. Don’t miss their themed cruffin or their wood-fired hot cross buns (hello chocolate with dulce de leche mousse).
Tarte Beach House, Currumbin
A free 1300-egg Easter hunt, a creekside high tea, custard crème brulee eggs, hot cross bun scones or strawberry speckled egg nest crullers – Tarte is the place to be this long weekend.
Bam Bam Bakehouse, Mermaid
Hot cross buns, the Bam Bam way (aka, delicious). Expect cult-favourite flavours like Biscoff alongside their signature Easter custard bombs.
Velvet Café & Lounge, Miami
Leaning all the way into chocolate season, Velvet is serving up chocolate hot cross buns and indulgent Mont Blancs to match.
Bread Social, Currumbin Waters and Tweed Heads
Keep it classic with expertly baked hot cross buns – original or chocolate, both done exceptionally well.
‘94 Matcha, Palm Beach
A matcha lover’s Easter dream, with limited-edition hot cross bun-inspired matcha and latte specials that are almost too cute to drink.
Public Supply, Tweed Heads
Putting a playful spin on tradition with hot cross cinni scrolls and a hot cross cold brew to wash it down.
Custard Canteen, Tallebudgera
Simple pleasures done right – think freshly baked cinnamon buns enjoyed creekside in the autumn sun.
House of Halsa, Mermaid
For something a little different, Vanilla Fields is their Easter standout – a layered mix of vanilla matcha, spirulina cream and coconut clouds.
Fuel Bakehouse, Burleigh Heads
An Easter weekend exclusive: a Nutella iced latte topped with maple cold foam and mini eggs, available at Burleigh only.
