My favourite breakfast, lunch & brunch places
The best salads and sandwiches in Bondi Beach and one of my favourite lunchtime spots. They do breakfast - It's kosher .so pastrami rather than bacon. They also switch it up for dinner.

Very friendly staff! The New Zealand owned cafe opens early so is perfect for that sunrise workout/walk breakfast. Quality well sourced produce - with lots of options for vegetarians and vegans too. Tip - they smoke whole fish every morning (usually ethically sourced Barramundi from the Northern Territory) so look for dishes with that - it does run out.

A nice sunny spot for coffee and good food. A social enterprise - it returns hope to the lives of unemployed young people by supporting them into paid hospitality traineeships. The service is always friendly if not always the most organised - but the vibe and location and quality of the coffee and food is always good.

Not far away, but tucked away in quiet leafy streets, this small cafe provides a chill place to hang. Obviously has Swedish pastries and snacks - I've not really eaten there, just coffee so far.

Preach Cafe

I favourite with locals . The menu is simple - but what they do they do well. Small with most of the seating outside. Great for coffee with snacks or wine with a cheese platter. Tip - the late afternoon happy hour is a great deal.

Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch & Dinner
A little more upmarket than the usual casual beach vibe of most other places I recommend. Pricier - but quality food and luxurious surrounds with plenty of space still makes this a value offer.

Bondi needs more leafy courtyards - and this one by Justin Hemmes shows the way forward. This is particularly good for grounds with fab share plates - but it's also a fab date spot too.
