The Waterfront was THE most popular spot in Merimbula for breakfast and brunch, and no wonder. It…read morewas right on the town boardwalk, with open views of the estuary beyond. It had everything such a place should have: decent food, good coffee, and people watching. There was also plenty of parking nearby on an expanded section of roadway next to the visitor center. Like a lot of places in town, the menu was a little small. They had one type of omelet, an eggs benedict dish, one pancake dish, etc. I chose the "eggs my way" dish on both my visits, since I just wanted something basic and flexible. This came with a number of optional side for an extra cost: baked beans, spinach, roasted tomatoes, sausage or bacon. (Australian bacon is like a piece of Canadian bacon joined to a piece of american bacon - back bacon meets pork belly). We saw a lot of regulars here, with a few sitting in the same spots (I assume they get there early). Nice hometown feel, but that's true of a lot of places in Merimbula. A really nice spot, but not my favorite in town (that role is filled by Bar Beach Kiosk); Grading on the local curve, this one gets 4 stars.

Coming from the US, where eggs Benedict with house made hollandaise is a rarity, theirs is superb. While I haven't had it, many of my coworkers rave about the house made OJ too.

Other perks: Friendly service; good people watching and a devastatingly cute barista. The menu was pretty broad, plus there were daily specials on the blackboard menu (some of which changed, others didn't) Focus was mostly on coffee drinks, sandwiches, brunch and lunch fare. I've had good lunches here so far. My hamburger was fantastic; good beef on a quality, focacia-style bun. The Portuguese-style chicken sandwich special was also a hit; it was a popular repeat order with our small lunch group. In fact, we didn't try many other places in this town after discovering Evolve. Lots of locals stopping by here, and the staff seemed to know them all. It felt like a neighborhood haunt. If I was local I think I'd haunt this place myself.
