Set within a restored heritage-listed tram station, this café has been a key part of the Gold Coast’s specialty coffee scene since 2015.\n\nParadox is known for its focus on quality. Their roasting team has over 15 years of experience selecting, importing, and roasting coffees from around the world. Using custom Brambati equipment and modern lab facilities, they produce consistent, high-grade blends and single origins for both retail and wholesale customers. Education is a big part of their approach, with cupping sessions and support for partners built into their operations.\n\nIf you're deciding what to order, the flat white is a standout. This iconic drink has sparked a long-running debate between Australia and New Zealand, both claiming to have invented it. With less foam than a cappuccino and a stronger coffee flavour than a latte, it’s a true test of both bean quality and milk technique. Paradox serves it with precision, making it a great way to experience their roasting skill.\n\nWith reliable food options, excellent coffee, and a location just minutes from the beach, Paradox offers a well-rounded stop that connects the Gold Coast’s history with its evolving café culture.\n\n","type":"text"}],"placeId":null,"address":"Paradox Coffee Roasters Cafe","location":{"longitude":153.42683340000002,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"longitudeDelta":0.1619644261854895,"latitude":-28.00269760844466}},{"address":"Social House","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.1641157563245757,"longitude":153.42856820000003,"latitude":-28.006435458445992,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421},"media":[{"type":"place","content":{"place_id":"ChIJ6x23Cw0FkWsRLARToilO-sY"}},{"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FGr4xf6zCCSEYZmWGBREg%2Fvoco%20Gold%20Coast%20by%20IHG%20(10).png?alt=media&token=e288babd-8bc8-49db-b90e-afd0aa0e0ca8","type":"img"},{"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FGr4xf6zCCSEYZmWGBREg%2Fvoco%20Gold%20Coast%20by%20IHG%20(7).png?alt=media&token=a4b14938-8520-4daf-8c8b-3a96f18f0feb","type":"img"},{"type":"text","content":"Hope you had a great day.
