The Paddock Bakery near Burleigh Beach

A absolute must of a place to visit. The food in this place is magnificent, fresh and just so yummy. We went for breakfast and enjoyed the boiled eggs, milkshakes and a few naughty but so yummy treats from the bakery you can select to take away. Well worth the visit for the cookies and donuts.Close to Burleigh beach too. Tanya
