BSKT (pronounced biscuit) opened in 2013 as a family orientated and puppy friendly cafe that caters to all dietary types. Situated right beside Nobby Beach, BSKT has delicious food, ample indoor and outdoor seating and a fenced children’s play area, making it a popular destination for locals.
There is heaps of parking nearby, although weekends can be very busy with beachgoers. BSKT doesn’t take bookings, so I find it best to visit outside of peak times but it doesn’t usually take long to get a table when it’s busy. Grab a spot outside under the patio and you’ll have easy access to the playground where the kids can run and play.
BSKT is one of my fave cafes to visit on the Gold Coast, and we always make sure to walk over to the beach for a splash or play in the sand before we head home too!
