Barefoot Barista

Gold Coast


Barefoot is every bit as laidback as its name implies, but with keen attention to detail. All produce is local, down to the organic herbs, and there is a barista and baker/pastry-chef couple at the helm. The menu ranges from burgers and zucchini haloumi fritters to antioxidant salads and dairy-free delicious smoothies using CoYo yoghurt.
