I follow a bunch of food accounts on instagram from all over Brisbane and the Gold Coast and they are always posting such amazing-seeming meals, drinks and snacks that I've been dying to try. I'm that kind of person who says that they would really like to try/watch/go to something but never ends up doing it because of laziness, not enough time or money (or even anyone to go with). These are the places that I have heard only good things from, or just look flipping amazing. Brisbane, Gold Coast and everywhere else in the world/Australia.
Paddock Bakery (Gold Coast)
I swear I am the last human being on the planet who hasn't actually been there yet. I've heard that the nutella donuts are to die for, and for some reason I do not doubt that. The food there is apparently also quite reasonably-priced and decently sized! Definitely have to go someday.
Flour & Chocolate (Brisbane)
So after trying a peanut butter cronut from the Eat street food markets at Hamilton Wharf, it's safe to say that cronuts are the best thing to ever happen to pastry foods. Seriously. Its like magic taking place in your mouth. I found this cafe on instagram when looking through a food account blog and I would really love to try their cronuts! I saw a photo of a salted caramel cronut and it was love at first sight. I even tried to convince mum to drive me there today because they only do cronuts (or gonuts) on Thursdays. That didn't happen, as we live a freaking 40 minute drive from the nearest, civilised place. Someday, someday.
Scatter Bean (Brisbane)
My train passes by this little coffee shop every time I head to the city for uni and I'm quite intrigued by it. It just looks really cute in the corner of a street hehe. Im not a coffee snob so if I ever end up checking it out, i'll probably have a milkshake or something but it looks cuteeeee.
Harajuku Gyoza (Brisbane)
This is not a coffee shop but I saw it in my instagram feed on this food blog account and it looks amazing! Its a japanese cuisine restaurant with really interesting dishes (especially desserts), so i'd like to check it out one day.
Ben's Burgers (Brisbane)
I LOVE BURGERS.

Please Say Please (Adelaide)
Ok we are going a little interstate now, but this is a cafe that i've been following on instagram for a while now and they always have really interesting-flavoured macarons that I have never even dreamed of! I have a friend who as been there and he says it's not brilliant, but thats about the coffee (and like I said, I'm not a coffee person so quite frankly, I don't care!). I just want to try their macarons, that is aaaall.
The Tuckshop (Glenhaven - Sydney)
Yes, another interstate cafe! Ran into this one on the gram and they're pretty new but the aesthetics of the place are off the charts (according to the images i've seen). They also do shoestring cut fries (my weakness) so i'm all down for hitting this place up one day.
The Grounds of Alexandria (Sydney)
Heard too many good things about this place so when I head down to Sydney, I'll give it a shot! Thats all I really have to say about this.
