Found this fabulous cafe on our first day in Broadbeach and went back every day after that. So good as a person with Coeliac disease to be able to eat safely on holiday.

Amending food and service! The young girl who was running the front of house on her own (as they were down staff) was incredible. I wanted got shout her out as it was busy and she was on top of it all! Excellent gluten free options for two in an our group of 6 have intolerances. Drinks and food came out very quickly considering how busy it was and price was pretty good also. Love our tropical juices. Parking was also a breeze.

Visited Sage Broadbeach for dinner with my partner’s family. As a recently diagnosed coeliac, I was initially relieved to see the menu clearly labelled with GF options, and staff who encouraged us to mention any dietary needs. We started with cocktails and wine which we were impressed with the selection at reasonable prices, and the service was friendly and attentive at this point. Things quickly went downhill. When ordering, I asked if the mushroom sauce was gluten free, and the waiter casually said he’d just “mark it as gluten free,” which didn’t inspire much confidence. My meal arrived a few minutes late, and after checking again, I was told there was contamination with the fried kale. Unfortunately, by that point, I had already eaten some vegetables and a potato, only to find out the potatoes were also cross-contaminated. My plate was taken away, and after more delays, I was told they couldn’t even pan-fry a fresh batch (which was the waiters suggestion!) Everyone else was finished eating by the time my meal returned, what I assume was the same steak, now overcooked from medium to well-done, thrown together with a basic garden salad (not the pear salad I ordered), and a bowl of steamed vegetables that came out later. It was incredibly disheartening. Despite seeming aware of coeliac needs at first, the kitchen clearly didn’t understand safe food handling or cross-contamination risks. After expressing my frustration (after staying extremely optimistic and pleasant up until this point) they offered a discount on the steak, but it barely felt like a gesture considering how little I ate. Sadly, the experience left me feeling dismissed and disappointed. I wouldn’t trust them to safely cater for anyone with serious dietary needs.

I recently visited Elk Espresso and was thoroughly impressed! The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and efficient. I never had to wait long at all, which made my visit incredibly stress-free. As someone with celiac disease, I really appreciated the celiac-friendly options on the menu; it’s refreshing to see a café that goes the extra mile for all its guests. I highly recommend Elk Espresso for anyone seeking great coffee, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere. Five stars!

Mum & I ordered eggs bene, smoked salmon (me) & bacon (her). Gluten free bread not listed on menu but asked staff and she said yip we can do that. Also asked if hollandaise was g/f as I had been caught out before. Happily asked cook behind counter wasnt an issue, THANK YOU for that. Meals had just the right proportions of everything, nothing over powered. Made me do a happy dance between each bite.
