AMAZING! Great coffee, great food. Can't get enough of the warm brekkie salad. i eat it, digest it, then think about eating it again.

Definitely worth getting off the highway, then 4 minutes down to the beach for this gorgeous Cafe. It opens nice and early and everything fresh!! The time i spent there with family, about 20 minutes, we saw a great sense of community, where locals know very well the staff, which makes the place special in my opinion. Bacon and egg and banana bread were a great choice, and my almond flat white spot on! They serve Seven Miles coffee, which is pretty good in my opinion.

Lovely venue. Friendly, attentive staff team. Very best coffee around. Just a hop, step, and a jump from Jones Beach.

This cafe can be found in the small strip of shops in Kiama Downs, only a stones throw from Jones Beach. The Balinese inspired cafe has dishes named after Bali hotspots! The menu is fairly basic with bacon and egg rolls, granola and plenty of freshly baked goods to be had! Hot cross Buns, muffins, croissants and more! Their house baked friand was delicious! Coffee by Delano Specialty, they were brewing up the Maverick Blend. Plenty d smoothies and juices available too. It was very busy the day we visited so you may prefer to grab some takeaway and head to the beach. The decor is pretty cool, surf side vibes to it

Visited on Anzac Day, and the service was amazing. They were the only place open in the little row of shops and the barista had my coffee ready before I finished paying. The staff were so friendly and efficient.. even with line to order reaching the door. Thanks for a fantastic experience! I'll be coming back again :)
