I had brunch here with a friend on a week day. The place was quite empty so our service was fast. The gentleman at the counter is always very friendly and has a unique personality, he seems to be on a good mood every time I see him. I ordered the Summer Salad with a side of fries (at the risk of grabbing the seagulls attention) and an Aperol Spritz from the fridge. My friend grabbed the bottle of wine and ordered the Classic Cheeseburger that come with fries so seagulls where on us. I quite enjoy my dish and my friend seems to have enjoyed hers too. The place is beautiful, it makes the experience a much nicer one. Dogs are allowed here which is a great move since the chip eater birds can be a bit annoying sometimes and these dogs seems to scare them easily. Overall a great place to visit even for a cup of coffee which I have had plenty there.

Was really disappointed with my avo toast. Avo was not seasoned at all and the bread it came on was razor thin. I had to ask for another piece of toast. Disappointed.

Great location right on Clontaf Marina. Nice little spot for a bite to eat and a coffee after taking the dog for a swim.Whilst location is great, the food was was average. I ate the vegan poke bowl. Food took 30mins+ to arrive. It was pretty busy and a very hot day so maybe the staff were a bit overwhelmed in the kitchen. Definitely worth popping into if you are around Clontaf though, it is family and dog friendly and just a nice spot to sit by the water.

Pretty good, but nothing to really write home about. The view was great, but the food was a little mediocre. The smashed avo on toasts claims that there is chilli on it, but there isn’t and the lime was the size of a lime that you would squeeze down the neck of a corona bottle. They also have an ordering QR code, however it doesn’t allow for any extras like bacon, halloumi, etc. so we had to order at the counter. The coffee and tea were ok though if you are interested in only getting that.

I did a review 3 months before saying that was really nice but the reopenning after Covid 19 is another story . How rude they are !!!! Not even kind to serve a take away glass of tap water. hope they quickly back to normal.... previous message was that one following .before I rated it 5 stars but I have to review it now as well . Really Nice place to have a breakfast or Lunch. The view is awesome, the cafe is in the middle of clontarf beach doing the separation between the human beach and dog beach . It is a Pontoon for the marina as well so easy to come by sea . The cafe is really clean , open on the sea, and dog friendly . The menu doesn't offer a large choice of dishes but everything is really good , fresh and coming in a good quantity for a reasonable price .freshly squeeze juices are available and served generously . The coffee is too good , I am always tempted to have an other one .free parking for northern beaches stickers and a little tiny shop is upstairs the cafe. I would love to see the cafe open for sunset and have a drink ...

Lovely view for a coffee. Food is slightly above average I'd say

Great Australian beach vibe cafe with simple fare. Bacon and egg roll was great. Super dog friendly for easy going dogs who like relaxing on the porch.
