Ticks all the boxes - Edit
One of the best brunches I have had. The food was beautifully presented, tasty and the portion size made the price well worth it.
Read moreThere was a good variety of vegan options. The vast majority of the menu is vegan, only a couple items were vegetarian and the staff were very helpful when we ordered.
I had the blinged avocado benny. The hollandaise sauce, facon and generous amount of avocado were the highlights of the meal. The choc hazelnut milkshake was delicious as it was topped with homemade coconut cream.
Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal and we left so full. We hope to return again the next time we’re in the Gold Coast.

Where food becomes art... - Edit
Food here looks good, it smells good, and it tastes amazing. The plating is very artistic. I felt bad for eating it :). Oh and they brought big, big portions. I had a hard time finishing everything on my plate. Good job though, to me, for eating everything, and to the Cardamom Pod's team!

Unsurpassed quality - Edit
As soon as my girl friend and I entered this place we were taking care of by the welcoming staff. The vibe in side is laid back and clean. Admittedly, when I first saw the prices on the menu I was a little sceptical, but the quality and serving sizes we got made it feel like an absolute bargain. The iced chai is to die for and unique in its delivery and presentation. I've never had a burger like the one I got here. Do yourself a favour and give this place a go!

Lovely spot, lovely food but v pricey! - Edit
Beautiful cafe, a nice spot to relax. Food is pretty expensive and there's also a 10% surcharge on Sunday. That said, the food was all beautifully presented and so tasty, so I didn't mind paying well for it.
Read moreThe food was hearty, very decent portions and felt quite nutritious. The whole main menu was vegan, there was a very small extra menu with 3 vegetarian options.
The only downside was we went back the next day to get some chocolate cake because it looked so good - it was very stale and really not edible so I don't know how long it has been sitting in the cabinet. It was over $10 a slice so quite disappointing!
But other than that, I would definitely come back here.
Pros: Nice aesthetic , Tasty food , Food very well presented
Cons: Pricey , Cake was stale

The food tasted great and the presentation was amazing. Drinks were slow to come out, arrived when we had nearly finished meals, but they were nice coffees, hot chocolate was delicious. Very expensive.

The Most Beautiful Food Ever! - Edit
After drooling over Instagram photos of food at The Cardamom Pod for YEARS, I am so happy that I finally got to try it!! We arrived early before
Read moreWe got the Pod Special Açaí and the Pod Big Breakfast Platter, as well as an Apple Pie Latte with Almond Milk and a Long Black Coffee. Everything looked spectacular - even better in real life than any pictures or videos can capture!!And it tasted phenomenal!!!
Even though we only had limited time in the area and had planned on visiting The Cardamom Pod just once, we ended up coming back a second time. We ordered the Life Is Berry Peach Pancakes, the Gourmet Toastie, and the Gingerbread Hot Chocolate. Once again, truly gorgeous and delicious!
I have thought about this place every day since I tried it, and I so wish I could move there and eat their food every single day!

Literally life-changing food - Edit
True story - This place actually turned us vegan. We were vegetarian and were sitting there looking at the amazing food and said to ourselves “If this is the type of food we can eat as vegans, then we have no excuse”, and then our journey began. Years later, we still come here as one of our favourite restaurants.
Read morePros: Mind blowing presentation, Life changing - literally, Divine food
