Garlic Kiss is the natural link between golden crema and golden Kirra beach. Just a few steps off the sand on Musgrave Street, Garlic Kiss take coffee very seriously, and it’s among the very best on the Gold Coast. However, this isn’t some stuffy coffee-geek industrial lab, it’s a cosy, welcoming cafe with plenty of places to sit, relax, look out across the water and enjoy some stupendously good food. The dishes better befit a fine-dining establishment than a casual beachside breakfast cafe, all beautifully presented and delicately balanced, but make no mistake that these are hearty breakfasts to set you up for the rest of the day – the colourful acai bowl ticks all the nutritional boxes, the avo smash is a light and fresh burst of flavour, and the famous Garlic Kiss brekky burger buns are the scientifically proven best hangover cure on the Gold Coast. Garlic Kiss is a shoe-in for best breakfast on Kirra Beach, but you better be sure to reserve early because that’s common knowledge.
