A bright yellow building on the side of the Gold Coast Highway is set to become the city’s first water cafe.

SameSame owner Charlie Beauchamp said he was in the process of opening his first cafe in Miami by October.

Mr Beauchamp started selling his bottled water four months ago at The Oxley in Nobby Beach and now distributes to more than 50 retailers between Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

He said it was his vision to create a “community and event space for employees and others to come to”.

Mr Beauchamp said while customers could quench their thirst with SameSame water at the new venue, there would also be soft drinks, juices, coffee and more.

A 20-pack of 640ml SameSame still or sparkling water was listed as $100 on the website.

Mr Beauchamp said they were looking to “keep it simple” with their menu, featuring, sandwiches, salads and cakes.

“We are looking to incorporate food trucks in the front,” he said.

Mr Beauchamp said he was inspired to make his own water company by seeing similar business ideas succeed overseas.

“I saw the opportunity and that someone would build a great business with it, so thought we should be it.”

Mr Beauchamp said their bright yellow building was in the perfect location for their brand.

“We love the community of businesses in the area and wanted to be a part of it,” he said.

Mr Beauchamp said they were still working on the features inside the venue but promised there would be themed offices and a pink basketball court out the back.
