Avoca Sands Café ~ Bar — Restaurant in Avoca Beach

Great spot. This place does not pretend to be anything more than it is. And what it is, is a great cafe, serving good food in a wonderful location. We reserved a table to be sure we could dine there after an hour and forty drive from N/West Sydney. The table was waiting, on the main deck, menus were given within a minute of sitting down, we ordered drinks which arrived minutes later, when we ordered our food. The cafe was packed, and the staffed seemed well drilled. Our meals arrived in about 30 minutes or so, well cooked and delicious. I thought for a packed restaurant, 30 minutes was pretty good. We spent 90 minutes at the table, talking and looking at the beach. What a great lunch. Yes it is more expensive than some other places with similar food, but I guess the overheads in that premium location need to be paid for, and I'll be back for more, because it is one of the best casual cafes I've been to, and with its location, it's hard to go past. Coffee is...

Being a coffee tart...at various locations around Australia, There's some you remember and some you'll hate, the staff always are friendly, efficient, and always helpful to make your stay there welcoming, pet friendly (outside area,) the food is excellent to date, early opening to get that coffee hit or breakie or lunch to eat in or take away, a place to watch the surfers,dolphins and a odd whale in season , sunrise here is best as am a early riser if am in town, meet some of the colourful characters of the area... that hang out or past through this cafe..I wasn't a fan of the new ..order and pay at the table at first..but now am a fan ,,waiting in a small line at a counter is good still but you jump a few spots when the cafe gets busy on weekends on the new system..I hope you get a chance to give it a try..!..ps it's A Licenced place as it can serve alcohol.. atm Cafe...

I placed my order and the girl with glasses on coffees was trying to over charge me. I ordered 2 bacon and egg rolls but I wanted to SWAP the bacon for halloumi, not add halloumi- swap it.

She said thats an additional charge. I could have just accepted it but I didn't as its not right, she basically wanted me to pay for bacon and halloumi even though I'd only get halloumi. I had to politely argue and show her the menu add ons bacon and halloumi are the same price therefore I shouldn't be charged for anyone additional. Luckily the owner or manager was sitting there and I explained it to her and she fixed the problem.

Unfortunately the hot chips were terrible! I was expecting hot salty crunchy chips that are soft inside.

But these chips were soft like it had been heated in the microwave or are a bit soggy.

They were the hot burny chips I...
