    This cafe has arguably one of the best cafe locations in Sydney. Jutting out over the Bondi Beach…read morepool, the little balcony takes in the panorama of Bondi Beach, the two Bondi pools and the svelte silhouettes of the Icebergs Club's finest members. Desk top tables hang from rails beneath arching canvas umbrellas and little red stools gather on the cement balcony. A maximum of twenty people could fit out here (even that would be a squeeze), which makes snagging a table seem like a 'special people' privilege. Their tiny shop has a little fridge of Emma & Toms juices, Phoenix organic soft drinks, Chariles Honest Quenchers and Nutrient Water, and with beans supplied by The Little Marionette, this is one of the better coffees you will get in Bondi. There is a distinct resort life vibe on the deck of The Crabbe Hole. It would be easy to imagine you've popped down to your resort cafe for breakfast and a protein shake (yes it's on the menu) before dipping into the pool, popping next door to the gym, following on in the neighouring sauna and finishing with a massage before migrating to the sandy shore of Bondi. I like the Crabba Hole. It feels like a bit of a secret. Accessed through the turnstyle for the pool, you simply drop the password ("I'm going to the crabbe hole") in a hushed voice then make your way along the railed ledge to the hideout shop. Their menu is extremely tiny, but it's got a few nice sandwiches at decent prices and you don't get the impression that you're paying for this stellar location. Also, as I was waiting for my friends beside the pool, I saw a man scuttling a hand-sized crab from his pool-side lounge chair. This made me happy.

    Location, Location, Location. Straight off the bat I am giving this place a full extra star for the…read morelocation. It has an amazing view of Bondi beach and the ocean, and on a sunny day it is an amazing place to chill out for a bit. The location is hands down the major selling point of this cafe. The cafe is situated just below the famous Icebergs restaurant, and is actually inside the swimming pool area. This does not mean you have to pay for the pool use, just mention to the person at the entrance you are coming for the cafe. The place has a nice number of small tables under umbrellas to ensure you can sit and enjoy the view without leaving redder then a brightly boiled beetroot. The cafe itself is fairly simple and sells a range of simple if unassuming snacks and coffee. The coffee was decent, easily good enough for a solid 3 star review, and enjoyable. It uses the little marionette bean, which is fast becoming a favourite of mine in Sydney (along with Campos and Tobys estate). Coffee: Double macchiato Bean: Little Marionette Crema: Not bad, a little thin 6.5/10 Overall Taste: Nice, 7/10 Served in: Small glass (+1) Preparation: Casually made, not bad, perhaps a little too much milk.

    This place is legit. Everyone comes here to eat and definitely drink. You can sit and watch the…read morebeach. Or the people waking by. Sit outside or inside. The atmosphere here is great. They have out door couches to lounge on. Chairs and tables to sit and eat. You can easily sit and relax away a good couple of hours here. My friends and I got here after we had left our luggage at our rental. And sat here what it seems like a week. We sat down and had a bite to eat. The fish and chips. They are amazing. We found this beer called Summer. And it was $25 Aussie for a bucket. Not bad. We hung out for about an hour. Then we decided to hit the water. So we decided to ask where we could get sunblock. And they brought over Carla. She was our savior. The sun is very hot here. We hit the water and came back after a little sun cooking. We stepped up our buckets. We stayed there until we left. Day 2 we did a lot of the same. We kept a ritual of just stopping by and having a bite and beers. The weekend is off the hook. Very busy. All day and all night. But they close at 12. Everyone and anyone is there. People celebrating the weekend to people out for bachelorette parties. Also birthday parties to small wedding reception. On Monday Feb. 12,2018 we were there just enjoying a bite and a couple beers. We weren't going to stay long. It wasn't too busy. Which was nice after the weekend. Then all of a sudden. All these well nicely dressed people started to show up. We new it was some type of party. But not for who or what. Girls/ Ladies dressed to impress. And impressed we were. Guys somewhat dresss nice also. Some better than others. And all of a sudden 3 guys in these bright loud jump suits. We were like huh? Then they decided to get on the microphone. Just being. Loud. It was my turn to get a pitcher of the passion fruit mojito. Which is really good. Don't judge. But when in Aussie. Drink like the Aussies. I asked one of the guys in the suits. What's up with suits. He said. Trying to get attention. They were going to have a fundraiser for Brain Cancer Awareness. I told him. He was doing a great thing. Not knowing that lot of the people there were celebrities. It's not like we watch Aussie tv everyday. Ok we did while on vacation. But still. How are we to spot tv actors and movie star actors. Then they sent out their ladies to sell raffle tickets. It was Bianca Zouppas. And another great looking actress. Sorry didn't get her name. But if you know who she is. Go ahead and let us know. Anyways. How could we say no to them. We weren't going to. It's a good cause. But they did get us to buy more tickets. We also got into the fun of the auction. I ended up winning a bat. For only $300. And after mingling with everyone. It was a great night. This place gave up their inside area for an event that raised some good money. This place has a staff that is not only great looking. But have the best attitude I've been to in years. Probably the best in all the world. Guys and girls. Both treated us with great respect and were always professionals. Staff was fun and always helpful. If you ever visit Bondi Beach. Stop by and try their Mojitos and their food. And the people watching is very good also. So Mates don't wait. Or you might have to stand in line in the sun.

I was here with family and friends and they did have the same thing to say about the place...pretty fantastic! I had the traditional "Fush and Chups"...and they were really good. Not oily, the batter held on very well, and the Tartar sauce was the perfect compliment to it! It is a great place to stop by and cap off your visit to Bondi Beach...
