Cafe Madeleine — Restaurant in Gold Coast City

Had lunch at Café Madeleine and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. My wife ordered the mushroom and halloumi eggs Benedict on an English muffin, while I went with the meatball sub (a recommendation from the owner). Both dishes were absolutely delicious—my sub was packed with flavour, the meatballs cooked perfectly, the marinara sauce rich and tasty, and the roll itself just spot on. My wife also said her dish was really yummy and hit the mark.

What really stood out though was the service. The front-of-house manager (and one of the owners) was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She even remembered me from my first visit a week earlier when I had the Croque Madame (which was so, so good it’s the reason I brought my wife back). The chef, who is also an owner, came out for a chat too—we ended up bonding over both being new parents, which just added such a personal and authentic touch to the experience.

Café Madeleine isn’t just serving great food—it’s run by people who genuinely care about their guests. A warm, welcoming café with amazing food and even better people. Absolutely no hesitation giving this place...

Cutest café in Surfers Paradise — run with love!

Cafe Madeleine is such a warm and welcoming little spot! It’s family-owned by the sweetest couple, and you can really feel the love in both the food and the vibes. 💛

I had the smoked salmon eggs Benedict and iced tea — sooo good! The eggs were perfectly poached, the salmon was fresh and buttery, and everything was plated beautifully.

And let’s talk about the coffee — it’s brewed differently from other cafés, and you get to pour your own milk! Such a cool and personal touch that makes the experience even more special.

The space is bright and cozy, perfect for a catch-up with friends or just a peaceful solo brekkie. Everyone is so friendly — you feel like part of the family the moment you walk in.

✨ If you're looking for a local café that serves amazing food, proper coffee, and genuinely lovely service — this is it! Highly recommend...

I was wandering around surfers looking for lunch and stumbled on this place. Then I read all the local reciews about the great service and amazing food - they were all correct. It's an outstanding little local cafe/restaurant. I ordered off the specials board and went with the steak frites (at the recommendation of the server) and it was one of the best steak frites I ever had. The steak was perfectly cooked medium rare, a good size and tender. It also came with cherry tomatoes on the vine which were perfectly cooked (along with the usual fries). The service was very welcoming and hospitable, and very good prices (the steak frites was only $25, and everything else on the menu was generally
