Luna's Deli

Overview

Coolangatta has scored itself a slice of Europe by the sea courtesy of Luna's Deli, the beachside boulangerie, gelateria and sandwich deli by chefs and partners Yazmin Maestre and Loic Trouiller. With experience at Michelin-starred kitchens across Europe, the duo brings a wealth of expertise to their bright and welcoming venue on Marine Parade.

Head in for buttery pastries baked fresh each morning — the daily-changing display features handcrafted goodies prepared over three days, using French butter and sustainably sourced flour. You'll also find a tight breakfast menu, a selection of stacked sandwiches made to order on house-made, slow-fermented focaccia and gooey toasties available all day, like a leek cacio e pepe and a sky-high reuben starring Bangalow pastrami. Also on offer: small-batch, preservative-free gelato churned in-house.

The light-filled space pairs coastal ease with European elegance, with its Riviera-inspired yellow-and-white palette, soft textures and views of Coolangatta Beach. It's designed for breezy breakfasts, leisurely lunches and afternoon pick-me-ups, with coffee available well into golden hour.

Alongside the daily offerings, Yazmin — a former pastry instructor at Le Cordon Bleu — will also host hands-on classes in baking, chocolate and pastry, sharing her craft with the community.
