Best Vegan restaurant on the Gold Coast - Edit
Had the açai snickers bowl which was so tasty plus the presentation of the bowl was 10/10! The staff, cleanliness and vibes were on point. Would highly recommend Cardamom Pod Southport!

An Established Gold Coast name. - Edit
Cardamom Pod, both at their Southport and Broadbeach locations are veg and vegan businesses that are always thriving - and it's not difficult to see why! While the menu differs from each location, the servings are deliciously guilt-free, beautifully presented and generously-sized, and set in well-decorated spaces!
Read morePros: Nourishing and nutritional dishes, yet still, offers comforting soul food! It is also an, inviting space with its welcoming interior design.
Cons: The Southport menu encroaches a little on, the pricey side.

Fabulous - best breakfast ever! - Edit
This is a busy restaurant and I know why! The food is amazing and the presentation beautiful
Read moreAnd creative! It’s vegan despite the vegetarian in its name. I had one of the bowls and my partner had the big breakfast. Neither of us could finish them despite our best efforts. So come hungry! We will be back!!
Pros: Fabulous tasty food, Fast efficient friendly service , Fair price for what you receive
Cons: Not open for dinner!!

Vegan size serving - Edit
Plant based meals are generally less calorie dense and require larger serves, this seems to be represented with their food items. Was lucky to find them as usually use vegan filter to support those companies first. Popular busy cafe.

Beautiful presentation and quality - Edit
Loved the food. My wife and I got the arancini balls and longevity plate - both were very photogenic but also delicious. Staff were very friendly. Our meals didn’t come out together and we’d finished one before the other had arrived (we were sharing so it was fine) but they took some off the bill because of that delay, which was good of them.

High Quality PlantBased Food! - Edit
I went here today with my mum and grandma for lunch, three generations who all absolutely loved it. We had the yogi bowl, rice rolls and arancini balls. Followed with a peanut butter brownie and salted caramel tart that was incredible. The service and atmosphere here was fantastic, probably my favourite table service restaurant on the coast! The price is a little higher than most other vegan places down the coast but it is definitely worth it!!

Had the pancakes, they’re were great. But looked too pretty to destroy with a fork. I did it anyway and don’t regret it.

Vegan Heaven! - Edit
Note * I do work here, but I loved it and always ate here before gaining that position!
Read moreThis place is incredible! The entire menu and all of the desserts are vegan. They do however, carry a local cows milk for coffees, but there is no cross contamination with the food or non dairy drinks.
Breakfast runs form 7:30 in the morning until around 11:20. Then lunch starts at 11:45. Both menus have a large variety of meals that customers can choose from. Spoiler alert, the vegan benny on the breakfast menu is a game changer. I used to go in all the time to get it!
If you're looking for a vegan dessert they've also got you covered. There is a selection of raw cakes, baked cakes and protein balls. Honestly, every single one of them is delicious!
They're also very understanding of allergies! If you can't consume gluten, there's a variety of items you can choose from, or certain aspects of a meal can be taken off to make it gluten free for you. Same with nuts and other allergens. They go over and beyond to accommodate customers.
Pros: vegan menu, amazing presentation, delicious
Cons: can get busy on the weekends so reserve a table!

Love this place! I’ve been here a couple of times and even brought a non-vegan friend who’s now thinking about becoming vegan. My favorite is the French toast! But the waffles are also good. Very friendly staff:)
