Day Off
Southport
Updated: Mar 20, 2026
Nestled on Short Street, Day Off is the latest Southport gem redefining the Gold Coast’s morning ritual with sub-zero sips and sourdough slabs.
The aesthetic is pure "Gold Coast cool," with soft neutral tones that instantly dial down the workday stress. Whether you’re lounging in the sun-drenched outdoor area or retreating to the sleek interior, there’s plenty of space to sit, sip and settle into those "day off" vibes.
The hero at Day Off are the -86°C sub-zero drinks. Served in a glass chilled to a below freezing -86 degree, you can choose from a Dirty Coffee, creamy matcha or strawberry matcha.
This thermal shock creates a unique, layered drink that offers a smooth coffee or matcha kick, finished with a soft-serve-like texture that transforms your morning brew into a velvety, drinkable dessert.
The menu centres around a range of delicious sourdough slabs - large slices of artisanal bread loaded with premium, heavy-hitting toppings.
Crowd favourites include the maple glazed bacon and silky egg slab, the smoked salmon, cream cheese and avo slab, the premium steak and cheese, mushroom and avo and prawn and mayo. Those with a sweet tooth should reach for the Peach & Honey Slab, a lighter but equally indulgent topping combination.
Don't wait for your next RDO, take a Day Off today!
