This cafe has a good range of sandwiches and fresh made drinks. The location is good too. The price is a bit higher than Sydney but still within a reasonable range. I won’t mind visiting here again during our next holiday here
Looking from the outside I feared this was going to be an overpriced tourist trap. The temptation that lured us in was Allpress coffee. My partner had the beef brisket burger which was scrumptious. The sauce of the brisket was sweet & tangy & the meat was cooked perfectly. I had the lamb shoulder salad. Hands down, one of the best salads of my life. Delectable pieces of soft lamb shoulder falling apart on a bed of hommus. A sensory delight of crunchy snow pea sprouts, chickpeas, peas & pomegranate seeds. Definitely worth the drive. My only regret was having no room for sweets.
$18.00 each for take away bacon and egg rolls that tasted like crap. What a joke I will never go back. Good luck getting repeat business with prices like that
This has been a reliable cafe for a meal for some time along the coast road between the national park and Wollongong. It’s set in a small cluster of shops that include two art galleries so an interesting place to stop anyway and just a short distance from Stanwell Park beach and Stanwell Tops, where the hang gliders and parasails take off. They have indoor and alfresco dining with a good variety of drinks: teas, coffee, juices, kombucha etc. The menu too is an interesting one with a variety of tempting dishes, cooked well with good ingredients. I had the chipotle chicken and black beans with tortilla chips – a delicious simmering savoury hot pot – that had just the right amount of oil in it and a good balance of ingredients. It looked great too. We also had the beef brisket roll, a child’s ham sandwich (not on the menu but made on spec by the kitchen) and a vegetarian portobello mushroom burger. The brisket was very filling and the mushroom burger, with an impressive carbonised black bun and bright pink beetroot pure, was delicious although difficult for a small mouth to eat without it falling apart, so laden was it. The mains are between $18-26, which is ok given they’re good, but unlike most places don’t come with sides. They don’t appear to have chips on the menu, which most parents find indispensable when trying to get kids to eat. Whether this is a conscious health choice I don’t know, but certainly their brisket and burger plates would have been improved with the addition of a small leafy salad. Otherwise all good.
A good place to stop along the Grand Pacific Drive. Although prices were a little high, this cafe uses quality ingredients and has interesting dishes that are well worth paying that little bit extra for. The meatloaf was very well made and all the salads were divine! They certainly know how to make a tasty salad that won’t make vegetarians want to starve! It was a little slow to come out and the drinks were nothing special but the staff were excellent and I was very happy to spend my lunchtime here. A great place to stop along the drive, where there really isn’t very many good options!
