Welcome to Coffee Major, a delightful café nestled within the vibrant Griffith University campus in Southport, Queensland. This charming coffee kiosk is more than just a place to grab your caffeine fix; it's a haven for students, faculty, and coffee aficionados alike.

As you approach Coffee Major, the enticing aroma of expertly brewed Merlo coffee wafts through the air, promising a sip of something special. The standout beverage here is undeniably the chai latte, which has earned rave reviews from loyal patrons like Kirsten Quinn, who declares it her go-to choice. The chai lattes are silky smooth, boasting a perfect harmony of spices that dance across your palate with every delicious sip.

In addition to the heavenly chai, customers can't stop talking about the iced chocolate and the diverse range of drinks available. Tiffany Johnston states, "The best chai latte I’ve ever had!" The menu also features a selection of snacks, including tempting muffins, ideal for those mid-morning cravings or a sweet treat to accompany your beverage.

What truly sets Coffee Major apart is its welcoming atmosphere. With plenty of outdoor seating, you can choose to bask in the warm Australian sun or relax in the shade while enjoying your drink. The reviews speak volumes; Wayne Ng highlights the friendly and efficient service provided by the staff, making every visit a pleasant experience. It's the kind of place where the baristas remember your name and order—a true community hub.

While the bustling campus ambiance surrounds you, there's a sense of calm within the café walls. The couple that runs Coffee Major brings warmth and kindness, creating an inviting space that feels like a second home for many regulars. However, it’s worth noting, as Rio Cueto points out, that the café's hours may vary on weekdays, so it's always best to check ahead.

Great little coffee kiosk at Griffith University just outside the student centre opposite the library @ Gold Coast campus. Serve an expertly brewed Merlo coffee with more of a chocolate/caramel finish. Also serve a few snacks such as muffins. Nice friendly staff with efficient service. Plenty of space to sit and enjoy coffee in the sun or the shade (all outside seating).

This cafe makes the best coffee on campus!! (I have tried and compared). Been coming here since the beginning of my degree. The service is always 5 star. The staff are lovely. The coffee is perfect and only a stones throw from the library. Thank You Coffee Major!

I have to say I was made one of the best coffee I’ve tasted in a long time yesterday, memorable yes, full bodied coffee, I wonder what beans you used? Most coffee is unlike this or maybe it’s my absolute preference but a lot of coffee ive tasted is bitter which is good but I realise this only now. I feel like I can’t go back to what I’ve been drinking. Soo good thankyou

The matcha latte was pretty good, even better than some cafe in southport and the price wasn't too bad, about 5.50 to 6 dollars. It has a very strong and rich flavour too, actually taste like matcha! The couple is so nice too
