Our favourite local coffee shop! They have small tables inside and outside. Very friendly and great service. The owners always give my dog a little treat. We love the banana bread and found the coffee is the best in the area and they do a great chai tea. Lots of organic, vegan and gluten free choices and so many coffee & juice options.

Excellent food and so many vegetarian & vegan options! The congee (rice porridge) was absolutely PERFECT for this weather and I felt like it was made with love, so delish. We randomly came across this cafe in Bondi, and I love supporting small businesses!
