    Pumpkin pappardelle
    Sophie B.

    Met a few friends here for a sunny winters lunch. I've been here a number of times and always love coming when I'm in Bondi. The service is always typical Bondi laid back style that I love. If you can snag a spot in the front or the window seat then do it. Fresh sea breeze coming in and views to the water for days. Porch always offers some awesome healthy options as well as some great heavier options. Coffee was on point as usual. This time around I ventured outside of the green bowl for the pumpkin pappardelle pasta. Delicious vego option with lots of pumpkin, tomatoes, spinach and pesto + almonds for some crunch. One of my dining partners had the one handed which looked great - perfect for a hungover breakfast/day. Love you Porch and will always be back to visit when I'm in town

    The friendly people behind Porch and Parlour have relocated. And while I would love to whinge about how much further away they are now (350 meters instead of 250 meters... an entire football field further!), they've dropped the parlour and added three of my very favourite things: opening hours, a full kitchen and booze. Now open from crack o' dawn to 10pm daily, I'm able to get Bondi's best coffee and green juice anytime during the day - I no longer have to rush out of my house in PJs, I mean, business suits, at 2:55pm and be that annoying customer who walks in just as you've cleaned everything up before closing. The food was already fantastic, so I can only assume with the same menu, employees and suppliers it will continue to be just that. And now you'll be able to enjoy dinner items as well, which I can't wait to try out. The move has not affected the coffee - I've done the grueling research and I still rate it as Bondi's best. My only concern? That my small neighbourhood coffee shop and brunch spot will be discovered by all and finding a seat will be harder than ever (although that was true pre-150 extra meters...).

    Came in for breakfast around 10am and the place was packed. Its a tiny place so there was 1 table free inside which we nabbed! You can sit at the bar/counter if there are no tables free. This place also has outdoor tables as well. Coffee was top notch. I got a green smoothie with some poached eggs on toast and my other party got the Devils breakfast - beans, chorizo with boiled eggs in a pan - hot and spicy! They serve their coffee in take away cups which at first glance looks like paper cups but then huzzah they are ceramic! Staff are friendly and happy to help you work out the menu (I questioned the green pea pancake and yes it is made out of mashed peas - who knew this could be a breakfast item) Overall, great first time experience and also love the fact you can walk over to the beach for a nice morning stroll after your breaky.

    right on the corner of Ramsgate Ave, Bondi beach Breakfast options are typical Bondi healthy stuff like green pea pancakes, a green brekkie bowl (kale, Quionoa, avo), mushroom dishes, granola, poached eggs etc. They do have a more indulgent dish of French toast which looks beautiful When I go to cafes, I'm a bit of a sucker for the granola option, even in the cold. So, I got the granola again which I wasn't quite sure about, as it was gluten free. It came out super fast, faster than my coffee in. That's good service! It had coconut yoghurt, blueberries and strawberries. To be honest, not a huge fan of this granola, but that's probably more my tastes than the dish itself. I'm not used Gluten free. I did like the yoghurt. Coffee was nice. You can also get juices, smoothies and booze. looks like some good lunch options, salads (roast pumpkin or raw), steak sandwich, fish burgers, barramundi or soup. There's also a laksa on offer. There are cronuts, croissants and takeaway coffees. Great location and seems like a popular place.

    Braised beef gnocchi
    Sarah S.

    Eat here eat here eat here. It will be the best food you've ever had. Came for breakfast and got the hash and the French toast. Came back for lunch and got the green pea pancake and the braised beef gnocchi. All 4 dishes were mind blowing. The staff is great and you can't beat the view looking out at the ocean. I'll be dreaming of this food for a long time.

    Such a cute breakfast spot with amazing food and coffee! Overlooks the ocean and such a local vibe. Would highly recommend!

    Absolutely adorable place, great attitude among the staff and the food is terrific. Perfect perch and you can see Bondi beach. I would love to say I will return, but I'm from the states, so that won't happen. However, if I could, I would. And you should.

    Had the hash n eggs and loved it. The place is bustling on a Sunday morning so be prepared to wait. The eggs were perfectly poached. The greens were very well seasoned! The side of bread we got was just okay. My friend got the veggie salad and was very satisfied. Would def come again!

    Excellent coffee. Excellent food. Excellent green juice. And they are nice. And you can see glimpses of the ocean if you sit outside. Perfect.

    Mushrooms and eggs with toasted polenta...

    This cafe has arguably one of the best cafe locations in Sydney. Jutting out over the Bondi Beach…read morepool, the little balcony takes in the panorama of Bondi Beach, the two Bondi pools and the svelte silhouettes of the Icebergs Club's finest members. Desk top tables hang from rails beneath arching canvas umbrellas and little red stools gather on the cement balcony. A maximum of twenty people could fit out here (even that would be a squeeze), which makes snagging a table seem like a 'special people' privilege. Their tiny shop has a little fridge of Emma & Toms juices, Phoenix organic soft drinks, Chariles Honest Quenchers and Nutrient Water, and with beans supplied by The Little Marionette, this is one of the better coffees you will get in Bondi. There is a distinct resort life vibe on the deck of The Crabbe Hole. It would be easy to imagine you've popped down to your resort cafe for breakfast and a protein shake (yes it's on the menu) before dipping into the pool, popping next door to the gym, following on in the neighouring sauna and finishing with a massage before migrating to the sandy shore of Bondi. I like the Crabba Hole. It feels like a bit of a secret. Accessed through the turnstyle for the pool, you simply drop the password ("I'm going to the crabbe hole") in a hushed voice then make your way along the railed ledge to the hideout shop. Their menu is extremely tiny, but it's got a few nice sandwiches at decent prices and you don't get the impression that you're paying for this stellar location. Also, as I was waiting for my friends beside the pool, I saw a man scuttling a hand-sized crab from his pool-side lounge chair. This made me happy.

It has an amazing view of Bondi beach and the ocean, and on a sunny day it is an amazing place to chill out for a bit. The location is hands down the major selling point of this cafe. The cafe is situated just below the famous Icebergs restaurant, and is actually inside the swimming pool area. This does not mean you have to pay for the pool use, just mention to the person at the entrance you are coming for the cafe. The place has a nice number of small tables under umbrellas to ensure you can sit and enjoy the view without leaving redder then a brightly boiled beetroot. The cafe itself is fairly simple and sells a range of simple if unassuming snacks and coffee. The coffee was decent, easily good enough for a solid 3 star review, and enjoyable. It uses the little marionette bean, which is fast becoming a favourite of mine in Sydney (along with Campos and Tobys estate). Coffee: Double macchiato Bean: Little Marionette Crema: Not bad, a little thin 6.5/10 Overall Taste: Nice, 7/10 Served in: Small glass (+1) Preparation: Casually made, not bad, perhaps a little too much milk.
