Food: Our food was amazing!!! Highly recommend! I had the breakfast bowl which came with sweet potato, wilted spinach topped with a poached egg, basil pesto and slivered almonds - it was delicious! My partner had a freshly squeezed juice of the day and the vego smart start which came with poached eggs, field mushrooms, slow roasted tomato, zucchini, haloumi and asparagus fritters, wilted baby spinach & relish served with soy linseed sourdough. Also incredible!
Price: My meal was $14.90 and his was $18.00 and $7.00 for the juice, so very reasonable for the meal and location.
Service: The service was outstanding! I drink a coffee alternative which comes in a sachet, I wasn't sure if they would be willing but we asked if they would mine providing me with a mug of hot water so I could use it and they did without questions! I feel like a lot of places would be annoyed because I wasn't buying their coffee, but they didn't mind at all! This alone makes me want to go back, I really appreciated it! Not to mention the food came super quickly on a busy Saturday morning so I was really impressed.
Location: This cafe is located right on Shelly Beach, attached to the surf club. It is a beautiful spot with plenty of free parking. Majority of the seating is not under cover though so you wouldn't really be able to dine in if it was...

At one point she completely ignored what I said, and was staring off into space as I was talking. I stopped talking, and stared at her, which prompeted her to actually make eye contact again and ask me to repeat myself. I did and she completed the order. I had no real confidence I would get the right order as it wasn't repeated back to me.
On top of that, I waited for a while for my takeaway meal. They weren't super busy and I was not informed they had to start over - hence the reason I was waiting so long. I had to go up to the counter and stand there, in front of two workers (who were doing nothing, and were not approachable due to being distracted). They said nothing to me for a while. One eventually addressed me, and let me know what happened.
I am pregnant, so moving and standing around is difficult at the moment. A lot could be fixed with clearer, respectful communication.
The food was ok, a bit bland because they had to leave the sauce out (no offer for an alternative dressing, which most eateries will offer). There was no salt or seasoning otherwise. Overall, a...

The café provides friendly and relaxed service, so customers can enjoy the beautiful, surrounding areas. They provide a range of eat-in breakfast and lunch meals with breakfast running from 6:30am through to 11:30am and lunch from 11:30am - 3pm.
