Why Choose The Bread Social?

The Bread Social is known locally for sourdough made by hand with Australian and local ingredients, with the seeded sourdough particularly praised by regular customers. The bakery also shines with focaccias, sausage rolls and Portuguese tarts, served by a friendly and efficient team that keeps the operation running smoothly even on busy weekend mornings.

About The Bread Social

The Bread Social sits in an industrial pocket of Currumbin Waters, and that's part of its charm. It's the kind of bakery in Currumbin Waters you'd drive past if you didn't know better, but one customer from further afield makes the trip for their weekly loaf.

Sourdough is the heart of it. The bread is made by hand using Australian and as-local-as-possible ingredients, and the seeded sourdough gets particular praise. Focaccia is another favourite, with the halloumi and egg version singled out by one visitor as fluffy and full of flavour. Beyond the loaves, the cabinet runs to sausage rolls (a curried eggplant one has its fans), pies, Portuguese tarts, cinnamon scrolls, danishes, and laminated pastries like kouign amann. A glass window at the back lets you watch the team at work.

It's also a proper café, with dine-in and takeaway both on offer. The coffee gets good words, and there's a breakfast and brunch crowd, plus sandwiches and quiche. Catering is available too. Dogs are welcome. Parking is free, and there's wheelchair-accessible parking, entrance and toilet.

Staff come across as friendly and quick, even when the line stretches out on a busy weekend morning. It moves fast, and there's usually room to sit. We've heard the odd grumble about value and the occasional off day, but one local who had a disappointing loaf said it was replaced without any fuss, which tells you something about how they treat people.

It's open daily, with early starts for the bread crowd, but check the hours before you head in. If you're after serious sourdough and a good pastry with a coffee on the Gold Coast, this one is well worth finding.
