Can I give this place 100 stars??? The food is spectacular. Tasty and authentic... not your generic Thai place. Everything is homemade and it shows. They were easily able to accommodate a gluten allergy. If I weren't leaving Gold Coast tomorrow, I'd be eating there again and again.

Holy guacamole! A celebration of flavours and smells and sights all in one. I wanted some gluten free chicken, but the store closed down. So I spotted The Cardamom Pod and invited my best friend to try it out. I chose an Apple Pie Latte, which was creamy and tasty and mmmhh. We also both ordered the Superburger. And WOW, it was beautifully presented, it was huge, it just blew my mind on how I was gonna wrap myself around it and it eat. But slow and steady won the race, because with each bite, my tastebuds had a party. I’m serious, it was so very delicious. There was chutney, caramelised onions, pesto, tasty sauces, cheese, pickles, an insanely tasty patty….. we both didn’t talk the whole time, way too busy eating and enjoying this burger. Every meal that came out of the kitchen looked like a piece of art! Impressive, yummy, wonderful

Gluten free is sensational! Doesn’t taste gluten free at all! It actually tastes normal. Better than normal 🥰

Samantha Campbell

My daughter & I had the gluten-free gnocchi- very nice 👌

Caffe Republic is a local favorite located within Bronberg Plaza, offering fresh, delicious food and friendly, attentive service. I loved my matcha latte, and every ingredient on my plate was fresh and prepared with care. The only downside for me was the gluten-free seeded toast—it was very thin and dry, mostly made of almonds, nuts, and seeds, which didn’t pair well with the eggs. It felt more like a nut cracker alongside a poached or scrambled eggs, whereas a soft toast would have been a better base for the eggs especially yolks and other elements on the plate. I will definitely return to try something different from the menu, as there are many fascinating dishes to choose from. Parking is easy, and with several grocery shops nearby, the location is very convenient. Thank you. June 2025

Services very efficient and within time manner. Food selection are great in particular when you have friends with gluten intolerance. Tasty and delicious. Another bonus is dog friendly.

Suzanne Bolte

Visiting our daughter on the Gold Coast and decided to grab pizza to take to her place. Easy to order on the app and then collect. Also could grab a gluten free pizza.

Simon Kelly

Tasty. Has salad and snack box options for gluten free (not coeliac). : )

Wayne Quilliam

This was our first time visiting here, and both the food and service were excellent. The menu was set out well, and very easy to read. There are Gluten free options, and are open until late. We will definitely return.

Tori Hile

The best coffee, ever. Coffee before work is a daily highlight, whether it be an iced or hot cup, its always smooth & delicious. We love our morning chats with the guys, listening to the tunes pump while we wait. To top it off, the food is also top notch, and so accommodating, was very excited to find many gluten free options.

Danielle Perichon

Ordered brunch via Ubereats and they really blew me away with their food! Fantastic for the price and it was so fresh and delicious, and the even had amazing gluten free bagels! If I were a local this would be my new favourite brunch place for sure.

Joakim Henriquez

Probably the best cheesecake you will ever have the privilege of tasting, and it's gluten free! The miso cheesecake might perhaps be too powerful for the unsophisticated palate, but there is always the signature cheesecake that will tantalise even the most godforsaken sceptic. Great atmosphere and filter coffee too! Can't recommend enough!

Always a very soothing pho soup! Simple gluten free and vegetarian tofu protein option which we find very difficult to find in the Gold Coast. Very delicious and beautifully presented, make sure to add the sauce they give to the soup for a more pronounced flavour. We tried the lemongrass tofu salad and it was very delicious too. Our go to for a great pho. 8th street harbour town.

Staff really friendly. They have gluten free options. Chicken burger was beautiful!

Suzanne Bolte

We visit here each time we visit our daughter. Love the outdoors atmosphere and can provide gluten free food. Keep up the good work and we will continue to visit.

Christine Yelverton

Darren Haines

Great food at reasonable prices. And most importantly has plenty of Gluten Free options!

Alessia Penhaligon-devine

Great food, great variety, great service! They even had gluten free options, and were very helpful in navigating the menu/ options. We were very, very impressed!

Dec-24, breakfast. Delicious meal had by both of us. The cassoulet with pork belly was just the right amount of spiciness... Not too much, not too little. Brekky burger was tasty and my request for a gluten free bun did not present a problem. The large coffees were nice and strong; my second coffee (small, single shot) was far too weak, and was more like a faint coffee-flavoured warm milk. I did not finish it Service was prompt and friendly. My request, though, for a coffee "not filled to the top but at about 90%" was acknowledged; however, the coffee delivered was at about 75% full, even though I told the waitress when ordering that 75% was too little milk. I had to request extra milk. Atmosphere pleasant enough - if one ignores the view over the carpark and looks out to sea. We will try a lunch or dinner at some stage. 👍

Very nice breakfast/brunch options. I love their soufflé pancakes, they make it from rice flour so it’s safe for people who are gluten intolerant! Poached eggs were cooked perfectly and bacon was cooked nice & crispy. The only downside - a bit on the pricey side for breakfast/brunch if you add on any extras (mushrooms or hash browns etc). Also, the hot matcha latte just tasted like warm milk, I think they need to add more matcha powder. Otherwise, food was fantastic! 👍

The waiter was super kind and hospitable. The owner even came to our table to check on us (it was near closing) and told us about the restaurant’s backstory! Lots of gluten free options and the waiter was great at explaining anything we needed. Everyone at my table liked their food. Overall great experience, would go again. 😁

Larn McShane

10/10 everything! Amazing coffee by beautiful people and you must try the caramel slice (it's also gluten free :D)

Knowledgeable staff make coffee with flavour. Solid range of gluten free and vegan treats, plus beans to buy. Lots of seats indoor with high stools and booth benches outside in the market area.

I love finding places that do just a few items but incredibly well. This place is amazing and very authentic to food I would find in Japan, with a bit of extra creativity in some of the flavours and fillings. I'm also super appreciative of the staff's attention to detail with gluten free options 💕

First try Korean restaurant in Brisbane. It will be my Go To restaurant every time I fly to Gold Coast. Very cozy place but high quality of Korean food. I actually tried most of Korean dishes and I was so into it. KFC was so finger licking good and wasn’t that too spicy. Actually they had 2 different taste. Galbi was so yummy and not too sweet. And the rest of dishes were so good with Very good balance. I guess the owner chef has great knowledge of food and nutrition. The main thing is to use gluten free ingredients and free range eggs. Staff was so friendly and energetic. And Make sure for everyone to try Mangobingsu as a dessert. All the best!

Zachary Bromage

Made a mistake ordering my burger today forgetting to put gluten free. Chef remade the burger for me anyways. Burger was awesome! Will be coming back again tomorrow!

Oh man happily stumbled on this place. Hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Orchid Ave. Being Gluten intolerant it's often hard to find great food with value for your money. But the search is over. Wanted something light so ordered GF corn flat bread with cheese and with refreshing pico de gallo here and results are in why go anywhere else Gluten intolerant people! Thanks La Tienda Latina for the nice surprise out of Orchid! I'll be back for more soon especially for what I call the Holiday goers go to combo $20 Rump and Chips and $7 Corona!!!

Ileana Whelan

I love their low gluten Sweet Potato Muffin. They are very tasty and filling. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Katie Brown

Wonderful restaurant. The menu is diverse and offers detailed descriptions of meals for the less experienced diners of Philippino cuisine, like myself. Lots of group sharing options. Excellent service, fast meal preparation, high quality ingredients, full flavoured and nice large serves. Lots of Gluten Free friendly dishes, including desserts.

we recently arranged a birthday event with Shannon and the team at Aviary Rooftop bar - and everything went like clockwork! Shannon was so helpful with making the arrangements with me leading up to the event, and answering all my questions. Cameron and the team on the night were so professional with food set up, service and attitude - it made everything so easy for us and everyone had a great time at the function. We ordered a lot of food to come out at different times throughout the night, and nothing was too much trouble. We had a lot of dietary requirements in our group (vegetarian, gluten free etc) and all were catered for. Would definitely recommend this venue.

Chris Willis

Stumbled across this place quite by accident, but so glad we did. Nice, relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, and the food was delicious with plenty gluten-free and vegan options.

Wendy Absolom

Great eating place & they understand about Coeliacs & gluten free food. I have never been sick from eating here so that's a big +. Food is really good & lovely drinks & coffee.

David

I frequent this friendly Cafe regularly and have goten to know the owner and staff as friends because of it. They provide excellent customer service, coffee and specialist dietrary cuisine. I went there today, for a special dish, hand prepared for my partner because she requires gluten free meals and was ill. Highly recommended and people this genuine are rare on the Gold Coast Qld. Check them out, you'll be surprised. They're beautiful.

Tina Lacey

Came here for lunch on a quiet Friday afternoon. It was certainly a surprise with how well presented the food was. The options were definitely thai influenced which was great, but the fact that it catered to vegan, vegetarian and gluten free dietary required people?!? SHUT THE FRONT DOOR 😋😍 Whilst the food was simple, it was delicious 😋 and you could tell alot of TLC was put into each dish. Definitely rate this underrated place 👌 Looking forward to trying everything on the menu 👍

Joshua moon

Great cafe place and good friendly Gluten free any menu will make gluten free so delicious! And coffee great 😊

Always hard to find a good pizza shop while on holidays but I’m so happy I picked Food Corp! Amazing service and very helpful over the phone with all my questions. One of the best gluten free bases I’ve ever had 🙏

It’s a small place but it looks nice. Avoid going on a Friday or Saturday if you want to have a decent time, otherwise the service won’t get even close to average. I don’t recommend GF pizzas. I have been there twice. First time I thought the kindness of the waitress was fake but at least she “did her job” (not really). Second time, it was the same. They are veery disorganised, 4 waitresses looked after our table and they all offered a very poor service (forgetting things, asking if we were ready to order when the order was already placed, slow food, 1h wait “they lost the docket” and drinks 30 min for a beer?, pizzas came separately, almost 15 min and I saw mine sitting under the light while my partner was almost finishing his…) Food: flavours are good but GF pizzas bases are not worth it. Average and cheap. First time I ordered GF pizza (preference), they brought a nice pizza on a fluffy base…hence I went back and ordered exactly the same, and I got the one in the photo so it made me realised that the first pizza was a normal base! my health could have been at risk of if I was celiac. -again, poor service because they don’t care when they are busy-which is most of the time

If you are looking for a cozy and authentic ramen spot in Gold Coast, look no further than Ramen Bro Sake and Bar. This place serves up some of the most delicious and satisfying bowls of ramen you will ever taste. The broth is rich and flavorful, the noodles are fresh and chewy, and the toppings are generous and varied. You can choose from different types of ramen, such as tonkotsu, miso, shoyu, and spicy, as well as customize your level of spiciness, oiliness, and noodle firmness. They also have vegan and gluten-free options for those with dietary restrictions. Don't forget to pair your ramen with some of their tasty side dishes, such as gyoza, karaage, edamame, and seaweed salad. And of course, you can't go wrong with a glass of sake or a bottle of beer to wash it all down. Ramen Bro Sake and Bar is a must-try for any ramen lover in Gold Coast. You will not be disappointed!
