Found myself down the Gold Coast today did go out of my way to stop in given the high standard of reviews albeit most of the the reviews are from those who are 1 or 2 previous reviews hmmm???

Anyhow to the coffee. Straight up a flat white was ordered, the coffee was well made apart from most of it ending in my saucer (that's what the cup is for) I asked the waiter about their blend, not much insight given apart from its their own blend. I asked if they roasted it? Answer: No. I asked who is roasting it for you? Answer: Don't know. I asked whats in it? Answer: I' ll check. Hmmm... ok then!

I have been a semi regular at Dandelion and Driftwood and it is still serving up coffee and tea to the highest standards and that needs to be commended! I had picked up some friends from the airport yesterday and they were also impressed with the level of service and knowledge of the staff!

Dandelion and Driftwood is an experience and something very special for Brisbane.

Well done guys you deserve all your accolades.

What has happened to the is fine establishment? It seems that it has been abducted by aliens!

These guys did it well and did specialty coffee justice! My experience yesterday was terrible, the coffee simply stank, both in the cup and the way it was made, the quality of the roasted beans are supermarket standard.

I am so shocked.... i have heard that there has been a change of ownership with there head roaster leaving and new management running things and it shows....

Sorry Veneziano this was my last pour!

The Northside is a bit light for good coffee so I popped into the coffee guy.

They are extending their cafe into the vacant shop next door. The service is attentive and seems to have a strong local clientele.

The coffee is roasted on site which was a good surprise. I ordered a flat white. Have to say it was disappointing, found the milk overheated, but the flavour was more about the blend, earthy, very predominate bitterness in the finish, not well balanced at all.
