Located in Gold Coast airport, one of few places you can get food and alcohol together. Food was very, very ordinary but service was amazing. Cooper served me, and he was friendly, helpful and polite. Place was clean and convenient as it was easy to see the overhead signs for flight details.

The best breakfast spot within the airport. This place is very busy,and offers airline type meal options. Go for a Paradox breakfast and start the day right. Plenty of hot snacks, wraps, and rolls. Hot fresh coffee and a view of the tarmac. Oh beers for breakfast, that’s okay, it’s 5pm somewhere in the world right. Happy crew working hard.

Spent a couple of hours at the airport and ordered a light breakfast and coffee from Paradox Cafe. Food was nice and coffee was good. The cafe was busy, but service was quick and atmosphere was very nice. Music In the background, but quiet enough to read my book in peace. I sat there got a couple of hours and heard nothing but bright, friendly staff. The way they greeted each person, and announced your order with a happy “Thank you John/Jane” was so refreshing to hear. They were lovely and pleasant to every customer whilst I was there. This will be my go-to cafe whenever I’m at the airport from now on. Well done Paradox!!
