Delighted with the beautiful delicious home made gluten free brownies cake which Niki made for my 60th birthday & the generous assortment of catering for 30 ladies which they all commented was amazing!!! Thank You Niki for helping with the planning & making my birthday so special

Such a great spot for a coffee. Our granddaughter loved it. We had breakfast outside looking into the cats and before our order came we popped into the enclosure and hung out with them . If you spend 15 - you can go in with the cats for 15 mins. Ask at the counter .

Thank you to Nikki and her staff for the amazing experience during really really difficult times in Robina during cyclone Alfred on the GC. We all know and understand the shortage of supplies (omg look at the bare shelves at Woolies and Coles) and the wonderful job she does to source supplies from everywhere around the GC. As many people, nearly a week in still don't have power, Nikki and her wonderful staff have listened to stories of hardship, provided power to charge phones etc and provided wonderful meals and coffee with a smile while not having power in their own homes but servicing us! Could not survive without The Marketplace. The abuse they have received from ungrateful people has been heart breaking to witness as these people do not look around to see those suffering and the wonderful job Nikki,Landi & Jada continue to do! Great job The Marketplace, we love love love you and are so grateful to have a local cafe like yours. 5 stars are not enough!

Definitely worth a visit. Right on the corner of Arbour Ave with street parking. Staff were noticeably friendly and helpful. We shared a home made chicken & mushroom pie (made on site) which was large & delicious. Also had the Carrot Cake, which was also a large slice & tasted great. The Cappuccino was 1st class & the Green Tea came in its own set . Overall, the prices were not expensive. After your treats , I can recommend the short walk across the road , through the vine covered Arbour which brings you out to a lake with bird life including Black Swans . I can recommend giving this cafe a try as it has a good feel & you won't be disappointed. We will definitely visit again.

I had the mushroom on sourdough (Although I had GF toast) there was no garlic so the beautiful chef made a substitute which was absolutely delicious and it didn't need it...new menu option ! Wonderful large portions. Service was great and they were all extremely accommodating to my coeliac needs. Will definitely be back next time we are in Robina!

Despite the lure of air conditioning on a hot day over at Robina Town Centre, I wasn’t feeling up to navigating the car parks & lots of people so I took a chance on visiting a new cafe. It wasn’t too busy when we got there, and there was a beautiful cool breeze and the shady trees outside. There’s convenient street parking also.We loved the food & coffee, and it’s a real bonus that the pies, pastries, cakes etc are made on site - my mum raved about her fresh berry muffin, and my Mediterranean Quiche was fabulous also. The pies are enormous, a bit much for either of us to tackle … maybe next time we’ll share one.I’m glad I found this place … I can see myself coming back here.
