Keen to know where to find the best Gold Coast cookies? Imagine you’re rolling a dice, but instead it's chocolate chips over a map of our fair city. And that’s basically the spread of where you’ll find cookie suppliers across our landscape.
From markets and cafes to deliverers and boxes to go, you can find delicious treats to tickle your sweet tooth every way the cookie crumbles and in almost any location.
I'm a sucker for a good cookie. But in my house they're mostly called bikkies. Well, that is when I'm allowed them in my house. A six-pack of Plantitude Granola's in the cupboard is a temporary affair, that usually ends with 'I just don't know how it happened' and me surrounded by crumbs and reminiscing about the fleeting romance I just had with those babies.
For Gold Coast cookies that tick all my boxes, I'm looking for thicc bois, inventive creations and a tasty bite. So, whether you prefer ooey gooey goodness, or only chewy-chunky doughy discs of heaven will do, you're in luck. Here’s my round up of where to find the best cookies on the Gold Coast/Kombumerri Country in 2025.
Gold Coast Cookies At A Glance
Cookies In-Store
Bam Bam Bakehouse

Where in the world would we be without Bam Bam Bakehouse? The hotspot’s talented bakers and creative minds don’t stop at triple chocolate cookies kissed with Nutella. No, they caramel stuff, cream cheese drizzle and even stack, because when the sugar craving hits, only a tiny tower of cookies will do.
Tarte Bakery & Cafe
2/2 West St, Burleigh Heads QLD 4220
Featuring a menu that’s a memoir of the owner’s decade-long international dining adventures, Tarte Bakery & Cafe serves up unique takes on classic goods. This includes their iconic and ginormous chunky brown butter choc chip cookies. Loaded with Lindt chocolate chips and a sprinkle of sea salt. Though I'm yet to find someone who doesn't go weak at the knees for a fresh Pistachio cookie with Tarte's housemade brown butter choc chip cookie dough. One for now, one for the road.
Paddock Bakery

A round up of the best Gold Coast cookies would never be complete without mention of Paddock Bakery. With an expert understanding of flavour and beauty, these thick bicks are more artform than dessert. From chunked up Caramilk, to cream cheese and white macadamia. It’s sweet treats hard to beat. These guys are walk-in only and open 6am through til 3pm daily. I love dropping by around 9:30-10am to snag an outdoor seat beneath the trees. All cookies best paired with the iconic hot chocolate topped with torched marshmallow (only available during winter).
Custard Canteen
Tallebudgera Creek Beach, Palm Beach QLD 4221
Even on the busiest of weekends, there always seems to be ample room at Custard Canteen. I usually snag a table here, order via tabletop QR code and am pleasantly surprised with how quickly the goods arrive. This is the Tallebudgera Creek-side joint where brownie meets cookie and piping bags fill every last inch with salted caramel, saucy chocolate or even gigantic Lindt choc chips.
Housemade in small batches, they even offer a bake-at-home range. Score a six pack of salted caramel white choc cookies unbaked then claim all the kudos when you whip 'em outta the oven. I've done it, I'll admit it.
Doughed
99-103 Broadwater Ave, Hope Island QLD 4212

It’s a bold move to open your sandwich and cookie store next door to Subway. But the customers keep rolling in, so that’s quite the sign in itself. At Doughed, they’re giving New York pretzel in a bag except - make it biscuit. Creative bites like apple crumble, toasted pecan toffee, snickerdoodle and Kinder Bueno automatically make your eyes bigger than your belly. Don’t fight it.

Made With Love Bakery
19 Alicia St, Southport QLD 4215
I’ll come right out and say it. This is my go-to pick for vegan Gold Coast cookies. Featuring a classic chocolate chip option, the talented bakers at Made With Love Bakery use 100% plant-based ingredients. You’ll be forgiven for embodying a cookie monster mentality at this humble bakery, I have many times, and I anticipate it'll be a forever love affair for me.
On a side-note, their vegan pies are the best I've ever had and there's a cabinet filled to the brim with rich gluten-free chocolate brownies, custard tarts and scrolls. This team are serious professionals who genuinely love what they do. I've had them cater my BabyQ and it was hands-down one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Deemed a mouth party by its reviewers, Currumbin Cookies balls up and bakes the best cookies on the Gold Coast for market-lovers. We’re talking Burleigh Market, Palm Beach Farmers Market and HOTA on rotating weeks. Everytime I've come across these guys the line's been hoppin'. A serious contender for where to get your next sugar fix. Keep an eye on their socials to see where to score these Canadian-style sourdough cookies this weekend.
Byron Bay Cookies
Online and at various Gold Coast stores
Follow the crumbs directly to Byron Bay Cookies. The iconic cookie suppliers are stocked across the Gold Coast and available for delivery direct to you. I love that the crew support rainbow families and make a range of delights, from tropical mango and passionfruit cookies to vegan and gluten-free alternatives like maple and pecan. Right through to sour cherry cheesecake, and even blueberry muffin cookies. There is no wrong choice. And it's a top choice for Gold Coast cookies to suit a range of dietary requirements.
Sweeet CakeArt
Online
Put your hand in the cookie jar at Sweeet CakeArt for a flavour explosion unlike any other, in my opinion. Impressively baked to order, their New York style cookies are soft, chunky and bursting with flavour. Available in boxes of 6, 12 or 24 for local pickup, you'll be hard pressed to choose from their irresistible lineup including the likes of classic choc chip, red velvet, Biscoff and Caramillk, or more inventive flavours like double choc with Biscoff and Dubai-style choc chip. I love that they have a monthly trending pick to keep things exciting. This month, a decadent peanut butter and Nutella-stuffed cookie is on the lineup.
Milkman's Cookies
Online and at HOTA markets
Every Sunday, Milkman's Cookies take to HOTA markets to genuinely blow minds and happify mouths. Like, how do they get that perfect mix of chewy yet doughy? And how is the vegan banana and choc cookie so darn delightful? Drop into the market or opt for delivery. These babies are a gift anyone of your mates would be thrilled to receive too, I reckon.
Brooki Bakehouse
Online and at Pacific Fair
Set inside Paficic Fair, and conveniently available for online order (ft. a cute custom message inside the box), Brooki Bakehouse is a standout locale for NYC-style cookies. The name might sound familiar since its Fortitude Valley spot in Brissy has become somewhat of an icon. The lines here are nuts. There's celebratory kilo cookies, cookie tubes and even minis. It's a must-try - or gift! I'm a massive fan of a mid-shop pitstop here.
Little Bunneys Three
Online or pick up from Ormeau
I am genuinely obsessed with Little Bunneys Three. Bobby-Lee Bunney is the creative behind the bikkie brand and when I used her to custom create cookies for my sister's hens party, I became a die-hard fan. While she also creates some of the most epic custom-themed cakes, these Gold Coast cookies are next-level in my opinion. Like, my request was green, animal print and black. Not super easy to make work in a cookie format, yet somehow she nailed it. Plus, they made the most adorable keepsake.
