Admission: when I started this job, I wasn 't keen on beer. Normally I 'd side step the issue by drinking something like the lovely Ginger Kegs $10) , made by The Sunshine Coast Brewery using Buderim Ginger, and incidentally a great match for the Pork Koftas in Tomato Ragout $12) . However, the silver-tongued and nicely tattooed) owner Dan Hampton convinced me to try a 4 Pines Pale Ale $7.50) . With a whiff of pine on the nose, this is one fabulous locally made beer. Dan 's a great advocate for the Manly-based brewer, who ' eats here all the time, he 's a legend. ' He has a sense of humour too, if his barcode 's anything to go by. Dan and his wife Emma take over this café-by-day five nights...
I never thought about putting Nutella in my coffee but here in Coogee they do it. They call it a Nutty Nutella Latte. I think it’s more like a mocha but regardless the name, I had to try it….! It looks absolutely beautiful, like a cocktail almost with that brim full of hazel nuts. I love mochas, that’s the coffee of choice for me (double kick) so I was really looking forward to give this one a try. It didn’t really work for me though, the Nutella didn’t really blend in with the coffee. The nuts look very pretty but I didn’t really like them in my coffee either but of course half of them ended up in my coffee…. Next time I will try their normal mocha.
I stopped by this restaurant for a coffee (or 4) and had to leave a review because the staff were incredibly friendly! They were quick and prepared my coffees in a to-go tray (including chai, espressos, and a cappuccino), as well as an APA bar apricot, gogi, and almond bar that was gluten-free. While I was there, a woman pulled up in her car outside, and it was clear that they knew her as she received coffee-to-car service, which was awesome! It looks like there are a lot of delicious food options, so I will definitely have to come back sometime!
We had a great experience at this restaurant. The quality of the food was excellent and it was reasonably priced at $40 for two people for breakfast and coffee. The avocado toast was delicious, especially with the added poached egg. The granola and yogurt was amazing, and we also enjoyed the sourdough toast. The service was quick and the staff were friendly. Overall, we had a positive dining experience.

Had an amazing meal there even though it was late in the arvo the staff there were still really happy to serve us, (which is a change from other cafés who just want to get out of there polite funny which made my experience nice there quite enjoyable ! I had the prawn and mango salad it was to die for! I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family and come back again!
I visited this lovely cafe for a relaxing afternoon break. Although it was quite crowded, the staff were friendly and welcoming. We were seated promptly and served table water. We ordered an Iced Coffee and a Latte, both made with Toby’s Estate coffee which was delicious and pleasing to the taste buds.
Great service fantastic food!. I went here for breakfast the other day and absolutely loved it. Great coffee, friendly staff and amazing food, made by a chef who obviously loves the job!You can really see how the new owners have change the cafe for the better.
Nice when the owner is in. The food/coffee is really nice. though it wouldn't hurt to make the poached eggs soft boiled rather than hard as a rock. also that waitress who is absolutely rude needs an attitude adjustment or a new job.

The focus here is boutique, craft beers, and it is heaven for a beer lover.
