Hot Shott is hands down the best café I’ve experienced while living on the Gold Coast. This place never misses. The staff are sharp and switched on, they notice what you need before you even ask and keep checking in without being annoying. That kind of service is rare. I’ve tried pretty much everything on the menu, and here is real talk: nothing has ever been undercooked or overcooked. Not once. Even when the place is packed, the food comes out fast, fresh, and on point. The vibe inside is warm, relaxed, and welcoming perfect whether you’re chilling solo or rolling through with friends.

We have dined here two days in a row and ordered 4 different meals. They were all delicious and generous servings. The meals came out really quickly despite being busy and the staff were all lovely. Will definitely come here again :)

Had their hot breakfast meal and it was the perfect sampler — everything you’d want for a solid, satisfying brekky. Portions are big too, so next time I’d probably share! The venue is in such a nice spot, super chill vibes haha. And the citrus juice? Exactly what I needed for that immunity boost.

ONE OF THE VERY BEST BREAKFAST EVER! Coming from Melbourne which prides itself as the Cafe extraordinaire - GC has a secret up their sleeves. The food was amazing. Every bite was delicious and a feast for the taste senses. We loved everything. The coffees were also very good. Great service too. It was very busy for a Wednesday morning so can imagine this is a top drawcard in the area. If I lived around there I would be here all the time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

August 2025 Our Sunday brunch at Hot Shot Cafe was quite enjoyable. The atmosphere was lively, the service was friendly and attentive, and the food was fresh and delicious. However, we did encounter an issue with a side of avocado that we hadn’t ordered. We decided to keep it, but unfortunately it had a hard texture and was black inside, indicating it had passed its prime, so we had to have it removed from the bill. Despite this hiccup, I would highly recommend this cafe for a lovely experience at Main Beach.
