Aptly named cafe at Billy. Try getting your order in under 15 minutes on a weekend!…read moreStaff are cool to the point of comatose but still friendly to all comers and their children and dogs. Your name will be man dude or bro. The guy who makes your coffee is in fact awake and he rides a little Honda 90 with Deus stencilled on the pillar - very funny. Whilst waiting for a takeaway you will just have to sit on a bench in the carpark next to the clubhouse and check the surf or whatever else is happening. Cant see a problem there? When it comes the food and the coffee are very good. Try going during the week - far quicker. These guys do their best and its a great spot for brekky.

I get up this way quite often and love it. It is located right on Bilgola beach with a beautiful…read moreview over the water. It's super casual with (usually) friendly staff. The coffee is lovely and smooth, though as an espresso drinker I can't comment on the milky coffees, and I keep getting told that can make all the difference. Snobs. Anyway, I'd go for the bacon and egg roll ($7.50) every time, but that's just me. So, hit the beach for a swim then relax into the rest of the day with a coffee and and brekky? Sounds good to me. Now to call in a sickie...

This little eatery is just off the main drag & a local took us there. Otherwise we may have looked…read morefor somewhere that looked a bit more exciting. So glad we ate there.

So I am slightly torn about this place. The people that work here are extremely friendly and you…read morefeel right at home. However, the food and the coffee here are not equal to the quality of the staff. Firstly, the coffee here is below what you would expect - especially as there is so much better coffee in the area. The beaches are now beaming with good coffee, so I am was extremely disappointed with the level of coffee. The food here is not bad, but it is not good. It is quite average. On the plus side the food is served on the larger portion side, and is reasonably priced. But again there is better cafes on the Northern Beaches, and so I was again disappointed. So in summary, I probably won't be coming back to this cafe, even though it looked good.

This is an interesting place where locals and others congregate. You can sit outdoors, drink…read morewhatever you want and enjoy the beautiful scenery and music. The first two thirds of the building is a bottle shop/takeaway shop where you can get just about anything alcoholic plus snacks, other drinks, pizza, and many other types of food to take away or eat there. The back third is a sit down open air restaurant with great views of the Pittwater environs. I have eaten there before, but not this time. I just got off the nearby ferry after visiting folks at Elvina Bay and wanted a snack to take back to my home away from home. Huge selection made it difficult, but I got what I wanted. It was a great convenience right from the ferry.

This cafe has a nice location with a great view overlooking Pittwater…read more We were part of a large group for a Sunday lunch though, and as we found, this place can get very busy. The food here was quite tasty - bread and dips for entree. For mains we had a pizza and chips, other members of the party all enjoyed their food which included Burgers, salads and fish and chips. There were a couple of things that let this place down - they seemed to be struggling with the amount of people that were there. Although the food arrived promptly, we were all pretty squashed in, and we also observed the owner or manager of this place being quite rude to his staff and some of the customers, including my father being told off because his seat was at a funny angle - only because we were so cramped to begin with. We also had some meals that were missed, delivered to the wrong table or delivered minus the required cutlery On a quieter day this place would be ideal, But i don't think i will rush back there on a Sunny Sunday.

I am a Pecorino junkie. There I have confessed it…read more Though I love Pablo & Rusty's on the other side of the train station, Pecorino's is more conducive to a cup of coffee and conversation with friends. The seating is more ample and the shop is less busy by virtue of being off the highway. I love their Vanilla Lattes. For afternoon tea, it is always fun to nibble on their delicious Bruschetta. Sit out on the patio to absorb the beautiful Sydney sunshine and enjoy the lovely landscape across the street.

Where as the other side if Gordon station is hectic and congested with commuters either moving…read moretowards the train station or the Pacific Hwy, on this side, still with a fair chunk of through traffic, it feels relaxed and suburban. A great place to sit down for a morning coffee and gently start the day. Ordering my dbl mac as per usual, I thought I might treat myself to a big breaky (honestly I had a bit of a craving for bacon). So while waiting for breaky to arrive my coffee appeared and at first glance, these guys had done a pretty good job. Not too much milk or froth, a good amount of crema, and it was not burnt. About the only thing they could have done better would have been to have shorter shots. As my first Schibello coffee I can only compare it to other brands. This one has a bland commercial flavour to it. I would still put it above Vittoria, but when compared to Vella Nero, Klink, or Air Coffee, there simply is no comparison. As I finished my coffee, breakfast arrived. I hate to be too picky but... a big breaky with only 1 rasher of bacon, a hash brown soaked in oil, and what can only be described as a cheap Coles like sausage is not Ao impressive. The eggs were well cooked and the mushrooms were generous, but I don't think I shall order this from here again.

Positioned on the main road through Newport, this shop attracts a number of locals and beach-goers wanting to quench their thirst or stop by for an afternoon delight. There is seating available both out the front, in the shop and out the back. The premises are modern and clean, providing customers with a decent break from the sweltering summer sun. The Cocoa Bar also makes for a decent coffee run after the weekly shopping!

The cafe itself has a varied menu and on this day we had a friand and flat white for me and banana bread for grandson. Both of us finished our treats in no time, not leaving even a crumb for the scavenging birds.
