Mietta's Review
The best coffee at the beaches. A very slick minimalist cafe, playing groovy vibes, which wouldn't look out of place in Darlinghurst, but still, has the relaxed northern beaches feel. Richard runs a tight ship and visit twice and your coffee is on the table before you order it. The food is a fashionable mixture. Very busy at weekends with both locals and day trippers.
