What stood out was the attentive and friendly service from the moment you step in the door. It’s always a green flag when you see the staff interacting positively with each other too. Also a very cute and fluffy dog came up and laid next to me while I was finishing my meal :’)"

If you want the best coffee and delicious food (vegan and gluten free options are fantastic!) right near the beach, then there is no other place to go. Enjoy great music, food, coffee and welcoming spirit, seven days a week. Highly recommend!"

Dec 10, 2025"Overall, a cozy little place with good food and generous portions. It’s just slightly overpriced, and we had to wait a bit longer than expected for our dishes. For those reasons, it’s a solid 4 out of 5 rather than a full 5."

The staff were so warm and thoughtful — they even took a Polaroid photo for us as a keepsake and surprised us with a complimentary drink. It was such an unexpected delight. Highly recommend this place for a perfect start to your day!"

The team is incredibly friendly, Suru and Miky will always welcome you with open arms. A personal recommendation: the Solar Beni and the Biscoff Latte, my all-time favourites and absolute must-tries! And don’t forget the Pao de queijo, they’re truly excellent... Honestly, I highly recommend this place. Best Cafe in Sydney and the best in Coogee. A real gem you shouldn’t miss! Pet friendly xx"
