The newest addition of cafes to Maroubra is Il Cafe Marocchino…read more Nesto the owner is serving up a huge range of tasty treats from steak and cheese pies, Dilerenzo coffees and his own beef rendang. He puts his heart and soul into every dish all the way down to the homemade mayo on the chicken snitzel sanga. Order a couple of coffees and he will certainly remember your name and your order. Nesto opens the shop before 6, so you can grab a coffee before you hop on your bike or alternatively, grab a coffee on your way back up Anzac into the city for a post ride refuel!

Deluca Espresso Bar serves excellent coffee on the site of the Deluca Specialty Coffee Roastery…read more The coffee is really, really, really good. (I'm writing this review as I am sipping my delicious skinny latte). I'm not the only fan - this year Deluca won a two cups rating in the SMH Good Cafe Guide awards. The cafe has plenty of outside seating, but busy Botany Road is not the most scenic spot to take a break. Inside the spacious cafe is warm, cozy, and inviting. I'm a big fan of the large, communal table in the centre of the room. I have not yet tasted the food on offer, but the freshly-baked muffins were very tempting this morning. In addition to cakes and other sweet things, Deluca offers a full lunch menu, including soups, salads, and other mains. Check it out!

Miniature tables and chairs make you feel like you've stumbled into the hobbits' shire. What this place lacks in coffee quality (not the best or worst I've tasted, but then - the French are not exactly known for their coffee) it makes up for in delicious sweets. The menu includes an array of sweet treats as you'd expect to find in a Parisian cafe. Crepes, croissants and various pastries are among the delights on offer.

In away it is one of those nice coffee shops down by the beach, and you can basically go and grab a drink here after a swim. Yet a part of me felt that it wasn't really one of the best I've been to, maybe because the tea was a little too strong for my liking. The service was okay, so I can't really complain about that. However, as I mentioned, it really wasn't one of the best, but it was still nice.

Can't fault it. Excellent coffee…read more The breakfast menu is simple but with enough variety for all. No bacon and eggs. I had smashed avocado and feta on soy and quinoa toast. $9.50. It was plentiful and tasty and fresh. Bare floorboards and small tables inside with a couple of benches. Very poplar with the locals.

This place boasts 3 rotating taps and a Newtown-worthy selection of about a dozen or so bottles. I grabbed a Sierra Nevada and settled in to wait for my date. The smell of pulled pork filled the room and I couldn't resist ordering a couple of sliders (pork or beef $5/each, $12/3). Both were pretty tasty. I'd happily return to Secret Garden next time I'm early for a gig at the Enmore.

They also have truly fantastic Italian sausage as one of the toppings. BUT perhaps what makes the restaurant so amazing is the friendliness of the staff.

And to top it off - easy parking across the road on the but between the lanes of Anzac parade.
