Essentials
Gold Coast Cafe has an decent selection of beer and some wine as well as any other convenience store essentials to stock your fridge. There is a small Deli that serves sandwiches etc; the food isn't fantastic, and we'd recommend sticking with the egg sandwiches, but it's adequate if you're hungry.
