The Blue Goose — Restaurant in Gerringong

We stopped by The Blue Goose for breakfast, eager to start the day with a good meal. The café had a spacious and inviting setting, with hand-drawn illustrations, including the café’s signature Blue Goose, adding a creative touch to the interior.

Food & Drinks

Feeling hungry, we ordered the Big Goose Breakie, a kids’ meal, and a few extras. The Big Goose Breakie was huge and filling, featuring poached eggs, juicy sausages, fried potatoes, a potato croquette, a creamy lecho-style dish, flatbread, and sourdough toast. The combination worked well, especially with the soft and flavorful sausages. However, the portion was so large that finishing it was a challenge, even though everything was delicious. Offering a smaller version, like a Regular Goose Breakie or a Kid Goose Breakie, could be a great addition to the menu for those who want a lighter meal.

The kids’ breakfast was just a fried egg with toast, which felt a bit too simple compared to the rest of the meal. A small side, like fruit or extra toast, would have made it more balanced.

For drinks, we went with freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee. The orange juice was excellent, though it would have been nice if they had asked whether we wanted ice instead of adding it automatically. The coffee was very good, smooth, and well-balanced, making for a great start to the morning. We also tried a Raspberry Coconut Muffin, which was soft, not overly sweet, and absolutely delicious—definitely a highlight.

Final Thoughts

The Blue Goose delivers hearty, well-prepared breakfasts in a relaxed, welcoming space. The generous portions and fresh ingredients made for a great start to the day. While the kids’ meal could use more variety, and the option for a smaller portion of the Big Goose Breakie would be a great addition, overall, it’s a solid choice for a satisfying breakfast with a bit of...

My experience at the blue goose cafe was lower than expected. Firstly, my bacon was severely undercooked and overly fatty. I could practically hear the pig oinking! The eggs were dreadful and overcooked, I thought my tastebuds were deceiving me. The staff were rushed and seemed sloppy and anxious. Though, I do not blame them as I could hear the boss swearing at the workers, whilst my bacon was 'cooking'. I had to block my own ears as my Christian heart could not handle the vulgar language being spewed at the poor staff members. Also, the cushion seat at the back smelt of rotting fruit and I almost gagged it was horrendously putrid. Do NOT be expecting to see my face here ever again. I can't believe I payed for that overpriced, sorry excuse of a meal. Do NOT waste your money or your time or your hearing abilities on this so called 'cafe' ever again. I hope...

Situated off the main street the foot traffic is a lot less intense at this cafe which makes the overall feel more relaxed then its counterparts on the main drag.

The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff and friendly and attentive.

The coffee is Toby’s Estate which is expertly crafted into your favourite cup by a very competent barista.

The food is hearty and well prepared using fresh ingredients. There isn’t anything really exciting on the menu, nothing out of the box as far as creative flare goes but it’s all your usual suspects.

It’s a great spot if you are ever in Gerringong and the value for money is...
