5B2F Bakehouse

Forget the standard bakery run. 5B2F Bakehouse is the northern GC’s undisputed heavyweight for top-tier viennoiserie and serious caffeine. Those dialed into the Goldie's cafe circuit will point you straight toward their pastry case—specifically the almond croissants, gluten-free donuts, and a caramelized donut that is flawlessly crisp outside and utterly decadent within. Then there’s the savory side. Think properly seasoned meat pies and a chicken sandwich that ruins all others. The coffee? Pitch-perfect extraction. It’s an al fresco only setup, giving it that breezy Queensland vibe. Anyone chasing custom celebration bakes knows their vanilla strawberry chiffon cake is a masterclass in balance—light, fresh, never cloying. Factor in a genuinely hospitable crew pulling the strings, and this Southport spot is an absolute must-hit.
