On the 'good things to eat' side Black Coffee Lyrics was recommended by a number of locals. A funky cafe, located upstairs in a run down arcade, it seems to be one of the few spots with a bit of intelligent life left in Surfers. They serve strong coffee which was a winning start for me. But their specialty is cold pressed coffee where the grounds are left to steep through a contraption (pictured above) for 24 hours making a wonderfully strong brew. It is refreshing served over ice with a drop of maple syrup but also worth trying with a dash of milk. I think it tastes a little sweeter than a hot brew. They are currently using a blend of beans from around the world that is roasted in Byron Bay but will soon move to a mix that is all local. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner some of the menu highlights are: Breakfast Roll with poached egg, basil cream, bacon and cheese served on Turkish bread; Vege Stack with basil cream; Avocado and Chicken Salad with sun dried tomatoes, mixed greens, granny smith apples, red onion, feta, pumpkin and a sesame dressing; Beef Burger with mushrooms, pumpkin, cheese, greens and relish (try anything with relish - it's something special); Frutti di Mare Pizza topped with calamari and octopus with lemon, garlic and basil; Shawster's Own Pizza with olives, semi dried tomatoes, mushrooms, bocconcini & chilly RELISH. There are plenty of vegetarian options and a new tapas menu that looks worth trying too. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Black Coffee Lyrics just got their liquor license and will soon feature local and national wines plus their very own beer on tap. With a hip atmosphere, affable (and handsome ;-) service, and gratifying grub I'll be sure to revisit on the next trip home.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Black Coffee Lyrics</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Shop 40 3131 Surfers Paradise Blvd</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Gold Coast, Queensland, 4217</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Australia</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">+ 61 0402 189 437</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">blackcoffeelyrics@gmail.com</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><a href="http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/350/1603708/restaurant/Queensland/Black-Coffee-Lyrics-Surfers-Paradise"><img alt="Black Coffee Lyrics on Urbanspoon" src="http://www.urbanspoon.com/b/link/1603708/minilink.gif" style="border:none;width:130px;height:36px" /></a>
