    The cafe had a nice look to it but the coffee was too hot, burnt, horribly textured and bitter. My wife had a slice of toasted banana bread with her latte which was served with out utensils which was odd considering it wss piping hot and to hot to touch and came with out butter, when she went to...

    Think is a great little place, well located with lovely owners. The coffee is passionately made, but not overly exciting. Given the huge lack of wonderful coffee in Surfers, this one does present as a better option than most.

    Not sure what the last reviewer was thinking, I have always found Think Espresso’s balance between great beans, good equipment and a highly skilled barista consistently results in a phenomenal coffee.....everytime. In a time when cafes are suddenly appearing and disappearing in Surfers Paradise,... Read more

    Not sure where the previous reviewer was coming from. How can a coffee be too hot? I have been going to 'Think Expresso' at least once a day sometimes twice a day for over 1 year and have found Pat serves up a perfect coffee every time. He is an owner operator and so is on the ball at all times. He... Read more

    Excellent value, excellent coffee. The store was a little hard to find - mapping on app is incorrect. A nice strong flavor, just what was needed for the first coffee of the day.

    3 coffees here today, Pat is the owner and up for a good chat. Uses a locally roasted fresh bean. 2 Lattes and a long black that were all good. The barrenness of surfers coffee has finally bean filtered into one single origin. Think espresso.

    I have been a Think Espresso regular for 6 months and have always had great coffees. Consistency and the good service is what brings the locals in daily, with most of them coming in twice each day for their coffee fix.

    Visited the Goldy and couldnt wait to find a nice coffee. Found this cute little place because of beanhunter. The owner behind the counter was very welcoming and the place was tidy and cute. And most importantly the vanilla late was delicious. All round a pleasant experience

    Every morning I pay a little visit to Pat's Think Expresso, where my coffee is already waiting for me. His coffee is rich in flavour, and smells strong.

    He has quite a lot of competitions from the major chains around him, but everyone that pays him a visit will come back due to the... Read more

    When you thought things couldn't get better.

    Patrizio created on the spot the ultimate to get my morning started: a 'dirty mocha', sounding more like a 'Euro electro dubstep DJ' than a drink.

    Chocholate, chai, steamed milk and a single shot of espresso, a great way to... Read more

    Who thought a Dirty Chai was trendy, taking it up to another level the Soy Dirty Chai. Just had my first one and perhaps the first one ever brewed on the Gold Coast. Now I am in sync for the rest of the day.

    Just had my first "Dirty Chai", basically a Chai Latte + Espresso Shot, really hit the spot this morning with the added spice.

    Have been going to Think Espresso now for over a year and I am still receiving great coffee and great service from a really nice and communicative professional Owner/Barista. I find that having a one of Pat's coffee every morning is a great way to start the day positively. I am a local here in... Read more

    I just had New Dirty Chai and Carrot Loaf for the breakfast! I can taste a nice balance of chai and espresso! Carrot Loaf is sweet but not so sweet. I've tried every hot and cold drinks, and Iced Mocha comes the first for me! Master is really nice and funny guy:)

    Everyday have a post-lunch meeting with my work colleagues at Think Espresso, always enjoy the coffee here, I love feel to the place, plus Pat really knows his business and what is customers (guests) want, which is “coffee”.
