The best bakeries on the Gold Coast

The bakery revival landed hard here — a weekend croissant queue at Burleigh Heads or Palm Beach is now a fixture — but the old guard never went anywhere: the pie counters in Labrador, Southport and Currumbin have fed the trades and the beach crowd for decades and will outlast the laminated pastry.

Every bakery on the map, from the pastry specialists to the corner shops that still sell a finger bun. Map links show each one in its building, plus whatever is worth pairing it with next door.
