Pretty Handsome

Pretty Handsome, on Christine Ave in Burleigh Heads, is more than your local hole-in-the-wall coffee stop, it has your morning coffee and breakfast completely sorted.

Located on the busy community corner of Lemana Lane, Pretty Handsome shares the neighbourhood with the iconic Surfboard Warehouse, Precinct Brewery and Granddad Jack’s Craft Distillery, and offers shady respites either side of their counter, to cop-a-squat, with your pooch and enjoy your morning joe and bite.

The brains (and the looks) behind this killer bean and bite operation are a father and son team, Declan and Hardi—both pretty handsome dudes who serve sensational coffee. Selecting the exceptional beans of Manly-based roasters, Seven Miles, their ‘Wilde Roast’ is blended in honour of Oscar Wilde, noted for being polarising and deliciously different. This specifically selected blend of fruit-driven, natural roasted coffee is for those looking for something truly remarkable.

Pretty Handsome, or PH to locals, caters to their steady stream of morning grab-and-go customers, offering combo specials and all-day cabinet breakfast treats including their Breaky Wrap, the Breaky Beef Burger, House-made Banana Bread, Triple Cheese Toastie, Cinnamon Scrolls, Almond, Plain or Ham and Cheese Croissants, Bacon and Egg rolls also offered with a Maple Bacon and Avo option. 

Handsome’s lunch menu is also quite a looker, kicking in from 11am it offers lots of tasty treats to choose from, including the Open Falafel and the Open Chicken Gyros, and the Beef, Chicken or Fish Burger and Fries. 

For the more adventurous, the Philly Burger is served with Provolone, onion and capsicum on a toasted garlic butter Ciabatta. Those who’ve tried the Fish Taco duo swear by the accompanying sensational house-made salsa. People partial to Panini come for the Real Chicken Breast Schnitzel served with fresh slaw, Swiss cheese and chilli mayo.

Whether you have your pooch in tow, or you're heading back from the beach on foot, bike, skateboard or by car, the leafy and shaded respite plus easy street parking on the lane, makes Pretty Handsome a truly perfect grab-and-go coffee and bite pitstop in your day.
