You’ll bi-scoff-ing this list down
Forget Nutella fellow dessert lovers, Biscoff is where it’s at. Hailing from Belgium way back in the 1930s this delicious caramel spiced biscuit is a warm hug for your tastebuds. With the invention of the spreadable version, this classic is having its viral moment in the sun – because the only thing better than a mouth-watering bickie moment is being able to slather it on *gestures vaguely* whatever the heck you please.
We’ve lined up all the best Gold Coast haunts to go get your Bisc-on. So whether you’re a super-fan, an all-round dessert enthusiast or you’re ready to find out what all the fuss is about (no judgement, but it’s about time!) – we’ve done all the leg work so you can bi-scoff-ing these sweet treats down in no time.
Mr Treat
There’s nothing quite like the smell of freshly baked cookies to get the tastebuds tingling. We’re starting strong with a cookie-ception creation of epic proportions, but just make sure you’re sitting down first because the Blame It On Cookie dreamt up by Mr Treat features cookie dough stuffed with biscoff and white chocolate chips.

Yo-Chi
Swirling Southern Gold-Coasters into a frenzy, fro-yo fans will already be well acquainted with Yo-Chi for (soft) serving up their sweet treat fixes, and resulting brain freezes – #worthit. As mega Yo-Chi fans we hope (& pray) the warmed Biscoff topping NEVER comes off the ever-rotating options of sweet toppings.

Sens Coffee QSV
First, there came the cronut – then – the croffle (the lovechild of a croissant x waffle, for the uninitiated), and THEN? Sens Coffee QSV went and dreamt up the Lotus Biscoff Croffle #withallthetrimmings. A croffle, loaded with lotus biscuit, almond crumble, crème Chantilly and chocolate ice cream. We can only assume you’re still here, and not immediately #OMW to get yourself one because the thought of this heavenly creation has sent you into a daze.
Where: 129 Queen Street, Southport

Paddock Bakery
Have we saved the best for last? All we can say is donut sleep on this – three words: Biscoff. Cheesecake. Doughnut. (We’ll let you be the judge.) What started as a special, was soon welcomed as a Paddock staple. A semi-sourdough doughnut dipped in a Caramel glaze, filled with a Biscoff Cheesecake filling, sprinkled with cookie crumb & a Biscoff bikkie (for dipping, obvs). We’ll take two #prettypleasewithabiscoffontop

Some things will never dessert us. Like our favourite sweet treats which always lift our mood when we’re feeling a bit crummy. We’re particularly partial to a cookie and even though they make our clothes shrink, we still reckon it’s impossible to overdough-se on them. So imagine our (Turkish) delight when we found out that Fortitude Valley’s Mr Treat was Burleigh-bound. And not just that, but moving in with fellow sugarbabe, Oh My Waffle and Oh My God, we can barely contain our sweet tooths!
Launching this Saturday 25th March, Mr Treat will bring a whole new level of decadence to the south side with their loaded cookie creations. Together with Oh My Waffle, this decadent duo are the epitome of ‘twice as nice’ and we cannot wait to experience this batch made in heaven.
Owners and Head Chefs Jessica Hannagan and Courtney Havill are two smart cookies who have been operating Burleigh’s Oh My Waffle for five years. Their freshly baked cookies proved to be so popular that they decided to open a dedicated cookie store. Wanting to spice things up and conquer a new geographic market, Mr Treat was born in Brissie’s Fortitude Valley. Demand up there was off the chain, however as they launched during the middle of Covid, well, need we say more…
The lovely ladies made the difficult decision to close, however endless messages about their scrumptious cookies ensued and slowly but surely, the WuFlu related challenges started to disappear. So, they decided to reopen Mr Treat inside their successful Oh My Waffle store to create one humdgina dessert slinging megastore! With the help of their families, Jessica and Courtney have been busy renovating to combine both concepts and trust us, it’ll be love at first sight…and bite.
With a predominantly baby blue colour palette and helpings of equally yummy pinky-peach and white, the fit out is as delish as the cookies. There’s indoor and outdoor seating meaning doggos are welcome, and the only thing sweeter than eating a cookie and/or waffle, is eating a cookie and/or waffle with your pup in tow.
The out-of-this-world loaded cookies are available in eight flavours, all with super fetch names (and yes, we’re still trying to make it happen #GoGretchen). The signature would have to be We Met on Crumble with vanilla cookie dough filled with salted Caramilk ganache and white chocolate chips, topped with Caramilk crumb. We’re also vibing the Drop It Like It’s Hot, with red velvet cookie dough filled with white chocolate chips and stuffed with cream cheese frosting. If you’re gluten intolerant and a staunch supporter of all things Vegan, have a go of the Let’s Dough, a delicious salted double chocolate cookie.
Lovers of ice cream are also in luck, with options like Uh Huh Honey featuring Kim and Kanye on a motorbike vanilla ice cream with blended bananas and Frosties, topped with tiny teddies, banana, honey, and more Frosties. Mint to Be also speaks to us, with chocolate ice cream blended with peppermint and mint slice topped with Aero and Ice Magic.
With yummy specials planned for the holidays plus the upcoming launch of their Australia wide postage for cookie boxes, things couldn’t be sweeter for Mr Treat. And this Saturday 25th of March, not only are they celebrating the Mr Treat GC opening, but it’s also Oh My Waffle’s fifth birthday! To celebrate, there’ll be $10 waffles and buy one get one half price cookies all day. Chip chip hooray!
Where: 1837 Gold Coast Highway, Burleigh Heads (inside Oh My, Waffle)
When: 2pm – 9pm Monday & Tuesday, 10am – 9pm Wednesday to Friday 10am – 9pm, Saturday 9am – 10pm & Sunday 9am – 9pm
