Getting coffee during Cyclone Alfred

Getting coffee during Cyclone Alfred in Surfers Paradise. Saturday 8th March 2025.

As Cyclone Alfred unleashed its fury on Surfers Paradise, one local coffee shop stood strong—serving up warm, frothy kindness in the storm.

ESPL Coffee, located right on the iconic Surfers Paradise Esplanade, gave out free coffees to locals braving the wild weather. This incredible gesture was made possible by the generosity of the community, with many residents choosing to pay it forward earlier in the week to ensure others could enjoy a hot drink when it mattered most.

With the cyclone pounding the beach just over the road, the team at ESPL Coffee kept the espresso flowing, proving that even in the worst weather, Surfers Paradise shines bright.

ESPL Coffee turned a stormy day into a heartwarming show of solidarity. Nice one, you legends.
