Anyone for Coffee, Mt. Tamborine, Gold Coast, Australia

























A year after our last visit, we checked back in to Anyone for Coffee and found more of what we liked originally (regionally grown organic coffee made well) and a few new features too. Menu expansion includes some light meals as well as weekend BBQs on the deck. Hubby loved the fluffy white pancakes and the Mars Bar latte - caramel, chocolate, coffee - just like the bar :-) This spot still seems to be the pick of locals for coffee with a steady stream of both fellow shop owners, residents and tourists getting their daily caffeine fix. If you have time you can join Barry and Nerida for a barista course too - whether you're thinking of making coffee professionally or just want to work that machine you have at home with a little more expertise a few hours of instruction might be just what you need. More info on last year's post too.

Fudge Heaven, Mt. Tamborine, Gold Coast, Australia








A revisit to Fudge Heaven on Tamborine Mountain confirmed my opinion that fudge is a gift from the gods. A few new awards on the wall and a caramelized nut stand are recent additions but the primary reason for coming remains the same - splendiferous confection. See last year's post for more info.

Anyone for Coffee? Mount Tamborine, Australia



Anyone for Coffee is another boutique cafe on top of Mt. Tamborine that serves a great cup of coffee. Beans are organically grown about 4 hours north in Childers, Queensland and roasted and delivered every second day to Anyone for Coffee. When I visited there was a steady stream of locals purchasing coffee to go. I experienced a rich full flavoured coffee expertly made by the trained barista and owner. This place clearly got the thumbs up from my husband too who not only finished his own coffee but polished off the rest of mine too while I paused for mere seconds to take photos. Hmmm.

More Coffee! Mount Tamborine Coffee Plantation, Gold Coast, Australia





Mount Tamborine Coffee Plantation is yet another delicious reason to visit Mt. Tamborine when on the Gold Coast. Coffee beans are grown organically on a small plantation just out the back of the Cafe Gallery. The owners do it all - from growing, to harvesting and roasting the beans on the weekend to running the cafe during the week. It is truly a pleasurable experience to see the whole process from field to table and know that the delicious brew you're drinking has no chemicals and is friendly to the environment. The coffee is GREAT too. From what I understand about the process, because there are no chemicals, the beans are softer and retain more of their natural oils making for a sweeter cup of coffee. If you're lucky enough to live in Australia you can arrange to have coffee mailed to you. I'm waiting for them to set up the Malaysian connection (please).
