A breakfast favourite of mine is Clodeli, situated on Clovelly Road in yes you guessed it…the suburb of Clovelly. Hard to miss this place on the weekend as the mornings are jam-packed with families, friends, fashionistas and locals. Of course the outside seating is the best on a warm day but you may have to wait a little longer if none are available. The three of us grabbed a seat on the longer communal table outdoors, which suited us fine as the sun was directly on us and nothing beats a pre-beach tanning session. So the food is um….pretty amazeballs! Above we have the corn fritters topped with tomato salsa, a wasabi sour cream on the side and a poached egg. You then have a choice of either...
Disappointing. The old 'Clo-deli' was a million times better. Would not even bother going back there now. It's lost its local attitude. Overpriced and trying to be 'craft' with food, drinks etc. Definitely lost its welcoming & comfort feeling. I felt children are just a hassle and if you're only having an afternoon coffee I get the vibe they want you to drink and depart (even when there's many empty tables ). Staff need a different approach. So much competition with cafes in Clovelly, I would recommend visit others before here.
This is a deli serving meats and other products to go as well as pre made food like falafel wraps, lasagne, filo quiche, muffins and coffees. There's heaps of space to eat in or outside. I got a berry and muesli muffin which was nice and had just been freshly baked. I also got a sunrise juice; ice, passionfruit, orange, lemon and mint. Fresh and delicious.
We had been waiting for the 'new' Clodeli to open for quite some time whilst under renovation. The new look is lovely - bright and fresh and the staff very friendly and efficient.Our breakfasts were lovely and there was plenty of choice on the menu so we will 'be back' :-) :-)

My wife and and I enjoy a Sunday brunch, and absolutely our favourite deli in the area is Clodeli. Not just for the generous and delicious food but also to the friendly and welcoming staff. In a small strip of shops with far too many cafes, Clodeli stands out as the best.
Everyone's right about this place ... good atmosphere, great coffee and food. So, it was with horror that I saw last week that it was closed. I hope this is temporary because I looked forward to eating there on this visit ... and wasn't able to. Better luck next time!
The new Clodeli is pretty bewildering. Limited menu with none of our old favourites (little breakfast, vegetarian Mediterranean breakfast). Went for lunch on a Friday, seriously slow service. The limited choices were very tasty, but a reluctant choice in future.
Best Coffee in Clovelly. Expensive food and almost I guess you would say out-dated or perhaps that's just because they are un pretentious and serve I wold say very family friendly meals. Can't beat the coffee round here though.

Great place no matter what time of day. The chilli poached eggs are a winner for breakfast and the coffee is good no matter what time of day. If your feeling peckish then you have to try the muffins too. Never let me down!!!
Overpriced for what you get. Not worth the money. My cornstacks on a bed of spinach came with 3 pieces of spinach and an undercooked poached egg. I asked for another egg and it was over cooked! Coffee was good though.
