About Little Sweet Cafe & Bubble Waffle

Surfers Paradise late nights usually mean rowdy pubs, but this tucked-away spot offers an alcohol-free haven for serious post-dinner sugar cravings. Griddles turn out made-to-order gai daan jai—Hong Kong egg waffles that stay crackly on the outside and steamy-soft within—piled high with scoops of ice cream and crushed Oreo rubble. If you come with friends, the move is sharing an oversized bowl of shaved milk ice bingsu topped with fresh strawberries or earthy matcha, finished with a deeply fragrant bubble milk tea.

  • Late-Night Haven: Stays open late on Elkhorn Avenue as a sit-down, alcohol-free post-dinner treat spot.
  • Made-to-Order Bubble Waffles: Freshly griddled Hong Kong egg waffles with crispy edges, soft centers, and ice cream toppings.
  • Sharing Bingsu Bowls: Massive, shareable bowls of finely shaved milk ice loaded with strawberry or matcha.
  • Playful Cafe Setting: Cozy, pastel parlor decked out in whimsical unicorn decor that charms families and kids.

  • Alcohol-Free Late-Night Dessert Destination

    Surfers Paradise evening visitors can escape the bar scene with a dedicated late-night sweet shop serving bingsu and bubble tea.

    Surfers has plenty of bars and pubs so it’s great to have a late night place that isn’t focused on alcohol.

  • Generous Shaved Milk Ice Bowls Built for Sharing

    Substantial bowls of finely shaved milk ice are portioned generously for two to three guests to enjoy together.

    When the menu says the bingsu serves 2-3 people : they mean it. The portion size is very large!

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, ordering, and portion sizes for your visit.

  • Allow Extra Time for Made-to-Order Desserts

    Items like bubble waffles and soufflés are cooked fresh to order, meaning prep takes slightly longer, so plan for a short wait during busy periods.

  • Plan to Share the Large Bingsu Bowls

    Full-size bingsu bowls are generously portioned to satisfy two to three people, so consider sharing or choosing a cup size if dining solo.

  • Visit Earlier for Shaved Ice Availability

    Popular shaved ice options can sell out later in the evening, making an earlier evening arrival ideal if you have your heart set on bingsu.
