I took my parents here for a combined birthday and Father’s Day lunch. My first time going here but they’d been years before and weren’t impressed with the club. But it has since been renovated etc and they both really enjoyed themselves. Most notably was the noise level, it was quite low considering it was fairly busy. I appreciated this a lot as I have sensory issues. The chairs were comfortable and the decor was pleasing. The meals were very generous portions, even the seniors meal. Only complaint was there was no staff on reception and we had to wait a couple of minutes but when we did get help to join etc she was very friendly and helpful. But there really needed to be two staff on front reception as lots of people needed help and were having to wait. My parents will definitely make this their new lunch/dinner place as they live locally.

Café

Surfers Paradise

About the restaurant

Nestled in the heart of Budds Beach (only a 5 minute walk from the heart of Surfers Paradise) Bumbles Cafe is many things to many people. For residents of the Gold Coast, Bumbles is the café where they religiously visit each morning: grab the morning paper, nod to the barista signaling “the usual”, and plant themselves in their favorite seat amongst other regulars.

Bumbles has become an extension of their own homes and kitchens. For other locals, it is where they come every weekend to meet a group of friends and have a catch-up while they tuck into their breakfast of salmon benedict, side of hash browns & freshly squeezed juice. Others arrive by jetski on the beach and grab a take-away lunch to enjoy later.

* we need at least 2 days in advance

A very enjoyable experience, with delicious food, prompt, efficient and pleasant staff. Noisy though on covered deck and a bit chilly. We loved our margarita cocktails and would come back for those.

My sister loved her meal and that was the main thing as it was her birthday but for me who dodges gluten and dairy I found the menu very limited. I had half a scone from my daughters scones and half a piece of toast from my sisters breakfast so paying for it today. If you are normal person who does not need to avoid certain food groups then it’s really a lovely space to come. Years ago there was better options in the menu so I didn’t even think to check before I booked like u normally do.
