beach cafe

this place was a really nice discovery a few weeks ago. modern, lots of different seating spaces, both indoor and outdoor, and a varied menu. i had the vegetarian breakfast and was treated to a huge portion (enough for two). the poached eggs were cooked perfectly and were served along two generous slabs of whole grain toast, spinach, tomato, hash browns and two falafel patties. yum. on the plus side for me, is this cafe has a nicely varied selection of loose teas. thestaffwas attentive and friendly. reservations are suggested if you're trying to get a table on the weekend, as it's a busy cafe. if there is any negative for me, it's that the prices are a bit on the high end of my price when it comes to casually eating out. more like an occasional treat.

we were looking for somewhere to eat where we could take our puppy who was with us. this place popped up beach cafe! dog friendly cafe!
lets give it a go!!
and all i have to say is amazing!!
thestaffwere absolutely lovely, took our orders straight away, knowing we were in a rush (sadly). we ordered the chicken burger and chips, chicken and avo sandwich and chips. both bloody good!! loved the atmosphere, the music andstaffwere all really welcoming. this will now be our new local. thanks ladies!
will definitely be back with our puppy in tow!

very good service. very happy.staffare friendly too. the coffee is way better than before. the food is improving but all depends who is on. food only needs to be more consistent and it would be the place to go. can't believe how busy they are with coffee. that guy who made mine on saturday made the best flat white i have ever had from there... keep it up. 😊

oh dear what a chaotic shambles on a saturday morning the beach cafe was. the 2 rating was purely for the food produced by the looks of it by a very small kitchen team lead by a young very competent woman. an amazing effort under the conditions as the breakfasts were in fact good delicious hashbrowns. it was the front of house farce that made this a negative experience, i don't like to be personal but be because the operator like to promote himself so openly i will call him out, he was absolutely hopeless throwing a tantrum at the coffee machine announcing a 40 minute wait on coffees, people just giving up and walking out, no heating turned on in the veranda area withstaffand customers desperately trying to turn them on in the freezing cold. plenty ofstaffon but no leadership the place was heaving and you should be making hay while sun shines not making people regret ever going there. for godsake get some business mentoring in hospitality before its to late.

it's been a while since my last visit and this place is just not what it used to be. i used to love coming here as food was so good. this time it's a different vibe, arrogantstaffand ordinary food. eggs bene used to be served with delicious hash browns, not any more. food looked more like a pub grub. eggs were overcooked. not sure if i want to go back. shame as used to be my fav place on sundays.

lovely setting and yummy food.
unfortunatley the service could be alot better.
i have been here a few times and each time, thestaffmember iv dealt with (a man in his 40's) is particulary unfriendly and quite rude.
its a real shame, as despite being very expensive it is a lovely cafe but goodstaffmembers are the heart and soul of a good cafe.
