The staff are always friendly, and the best part for me are the delicious, homemade slices - my favourites are their passionfruit slice and the choc-caramel slice. Cut in generous sizes, they are a must with their excellent coffee. Take them up to the Minnamurra Point for a spot of whale watching, or just enjoy the views over Jones Beach!

I did a lap pass Jones Beach and couldn't believe how many people were pouring into this place! So I thought id better pop in and have a sample.😊😊 Very happy I came in! as the brekkie Deluxe burger was on Point with the bun was crispy and so was the bacon!😊The egg was cooked perfectly a little bit soft just how I like it plus it had avocado also. 😍😍 Had two coffees and a piece of their carrot cake homemade which was delicious. Happy service in a very modern and homey feel Cafe. Pop in as this is a little hidden gem.

Visited on Anzac Day, and the service was amazing. They were the only place open in the little row of shops and the barista had my coffee ready before I finished paying. The staff were so friendly and efficient.. even with line to order reaching the door. Thanks for a fantastic experience! I'll be coming back again :)

Definitely worth getting off the highway, then 4 minutes down to the beach for this gorgeous Cafe. It opens nice and early and everything fresh!! The time i spent there with family, about 20 minutes, we saw a great sense of community, where locals know very well the staff, which makes the place special in my opinion. Bacon and egg and banana bread were a great choice, and my almond flat white spot on! They serve Seven Miles coffee, which is pretty good in my opinion.
