🌈🐾🧩🌊🐚☕️🥰🌻 Beachside Cafe is a Local Treasure!

🌈 I have now been to this delightful cafe over 12 times since moving to Christies Beach less than a month ago. I have come into Ripple & Swirl alone, with my friends, small family, and with Paquita, our support dog in training, and have yet to be disappointed.

🐾 The pups stay outside on porch seating area (my fav. spot to be although I am no pup) and are welcomed with a drinking bucket (just ask if you don't see it).💧

🧩 There are many places to sit outside and inside, so lots of choices for us picky folks. There are many different sizes of tables and also accommodation seating in the back area for a quieter space to eat or be with those who may require a more calm space for their sensory needs.

🌊🐚 This authentic staple for the Christies Beach area is located in a great spot and parking isn't actually too bad. This is a treasure to locals and appears to be family owned and managed, so mind your manners y'all. The service is thorough and if you ask, they will help you with anything you need.

☕️ My favourite barista is older and clearly knows what he is doing 😋 I always want more ☕️ .....side note #1 ⛪️ Confession... I did accidentally break a coffee cup once and they were kind to me about the mess. 🙊Thank you for not making me feel worse than I already did. 🙈

🥰 You may find thoughtful and cute little touches like lil' adorable chocolate Easter Eggs on your spoons with your coffees on Easter Holiday making it extra cute and special. .....side note #2 🐣 Don't be snarky and think or say, "well, there is a surcharge on Public Holidays, so it's the least they can do..." 🙄 Please y'all give us a freakin break, they don't EVEN NEED to be open, nor do they NEED to do cute adorable lil' special little things for their customers - BUT alas! - They WANT to and so they do. 😊 🙏 (and if you are wondering... Yes, this is for the nincompoop who made a comment at the table next to me, officially you are an idiot. No soup for YOU!)

🌻 On the topic of being open when we need it the most, 🤩 Ripple & Swirl Cafe does a fantastic job managing the flood of families and funky and fun general public that enter their doors during the holidays and weekends. I have seen many happy families, friends, eclectic individuals and partners come through or park their bicycles on the side of and then leave refreshed and with happy full bellies. As per all beach cafes, on the weekends they are more busy as many come to Christies for the waves and play.

R&SC, I have very few suggestions for improvement, as I don't truly know what happens during the many seasons of your lovely quaint and busy cafe - I'm only a new local you see and why should I give you suggestions on how to run your niche business? If you want to know, here it is 💰 In my creative mind (where naturally I have won the lotto) I would gift you money to build on top so that Christies can have more people in the Ripple & Swirl! So, basically my suggestion is MORE Riple More Swirl and MORE Cafe! YAY! Stay true and stay you.

Love from: Your newest local gal, Lisa (& Paquita 🐾 ) Good luck getting rid of me now 🙈 🏴‍☠️ 🥰 ☕️ 🍲 PS I owe you a coffee mug!
