    I think I have found my breakfast spot for Tuesday's at Mona Vale. It is so relaxing, warm and homely. You sit inbetween all these homewears, armchairs (hence the name). Which if you are like me, is absolutely lovely but dangerous at the same time. Bought myself a beautiful vase/pot this morning. The food is yum. I had sourdough toast with vegemite and a side order of avocado! (Might sound weird but it is so yummy). The portion size is awesome, so much avocado. And the green tea is hot and comes in tea leaves and you are the one who can decide how strong or weak it is. I'll be there next week and the week after.

    It's always a bit confusing combining a shop with a cafe, but at least there was lots to look at as we waited for a table at this busy place. Portion sizes were generous, and really tasty combinations. I had the soft shell crab burger. Really crispy, perfectly fried wholw crab (a little daunting to look at but great for the 'wow' effect) and although it looked as though it was going to be dry, it was succulent and zesty with a delicious wasabi mayo. The only complaint I had was the green juice (whilst refreshing) was pre made, which means no changes/additions, and really, it'd be pretty easy to make fresh juice to order. Slackness for no reason- people ordering green juices are probably going to be the ones who appreciate a little effort. One friend had the green chicken and roasted veges, which actually looked like the whole vege garden. Other friend had super yummy banana smoothie which came in a carafe. Uber yuppie. Definitely taking more ppl here but have to remember not to check the prices... ouch!

    I went to Armchair Collective last weekend with my big family. Although we were 8 we were able to sit at a big shared table. On a sunday I will recommend an early start for breakfast i.e 9am. The food was great and the coffee was amazing. Prepare to spend a min of $28 dollars. The best choice was the Chef Eggs Benedict . The staff is very friendly and the decor is delightful.

    Lovely cafe with a great vibe but a little bit on the pricy side for food. Coffee delicious though!

    Great location and unfortunately prices go with it. But food was great. Big plates, fresh produces. Come early if you want a table.

    Great place all round…read more Smooth tasty coffee with a few different bean choices for those who want to splurge. I got a cappuccino and it was awesome. Extra points for having powdered coco on top instead of chocolate. Ordered the poached eggs with bacon and spinach which ticked every box a bacon and eggs should. My mates got other things on the menu which looked just as good. There is also a sweets cabinet for those coming here in the afternoon or who can justify eating a Cronut at 9am. Sadly I am not one of those people and so could only look longingly at the cupcakes, brownies and Cronuts- but I am determined to be back to get one! The atmosphere is really relaxed and welcoming. All the tables are recycled spools (I think that is what they are called??) and the chairs have padding made of coffee bean sacks. It's well put together and works for this industrial, beaches location. All the staff are heaps chilled and friendly which only adds to everything. If you are after a be good cafe in Mona- this is the place!

    Early one Sunday morning, we found Coffee Brothers on Yelp. Encouraged by the glowing reviews, we…read morestopped by the place before a long drive and ordered a flat white and mocha. Their coffee is excellent - smooth and nutty without any hint of bitterness. We also enjoyed some fruit toast. They have lots of GF options. Friendly baristas and cool, industrial-style decor. I wish I still lived in the area so I could visit often!

    Stroll like a dandy down Dee Why promenade of a weekend morning and you'll see a few cafes with…read morezero people in them and one with all the people in them. Literally all of them, like some giant baby has been using them as toys and is jamming them all into one room of a huge Barbie play house for it's own infantile amusement. It doesn't make any sense, only, it totally does. The cafe is Seachange. and the reason it's so beloved by locals is three-fold: the servings are huge (no fleck of steak on a giant white plate here), they're happy to change absolutely anything on your order without any pissy whining or "No, the chef would kill me" type excuses, and the staff and management are unbelievably friendly. Wulf (sp?) made sure our group got a table inside to protect the little baby we had with us from the sun, and even though he was run off his feet stopped by the table a few times to drop jokes. I had the acai brekky bowl with banana and strawberry and bircher, at $15.90 it's the healthiest way to start the day while still feeling like you're eating ice cream. The Local with tons of bacon, eggs, and a potato rosti is also a winner, as is, oh, pretty much anything on the menu. When you're done, slop across the road and roll about on the beach like a walrus. Trust me, it's great.

    One and a half years later, it still has maintained that same quality. Nice and efficient service,…read moregreat portions and good food. The coffee ($3.80) is enjoyable (excellent latte art by the way!) and the view is simply perfect. I love coming here when catching up with friends. Their toasted Turkish sandwiches are still my favourite ($15 and a large portion). Nothing better than consistency and they have it here. Highly recommended!!
