Seeking a bit of fuel before an afternoon Bondi to Coogee walk, I stopped in at Harry's having…read moreheard particularly good things about their hotcake - I wasn't disappointed. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? The service at Harry's isn't what I would define as particularly warm, but the atmosphere is more than enough to build into a fond memory. I appreciated that, clear as day, there was a 20 minute + warning tied to the hotcake on the menu, so I was ready when that's almost exactly how long it took. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? $16.50 AUD for what was a well portioned hotcake absolutely covered in berries and cream was reasonable, and the rest of the menu was priced comparably. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? Before I get onto the specifics of the food shout out to what was a stellar $5.00 Latte that powered me through what would be my several mile walk to Coogee. From there, this was a very strong hotcake. The way it was grilled gave it a stellar sort of sugary and flavorful crust on the bottom that was memorable, and the berries and cream came together in a way that made it as much a dessert as a breakfast. Two Stars. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? I fully understand why Harry's is known as a must-visit in and around Bondi. Star.

There are also some counters facing outward, so if you pick a counter, the whole dining party can face the beach. I had the caramelized banana pancakes, which come with poached berries, seasonal fruit, pistachio, and maple syrup. They were delicious - quite sweet, but it's not as if I weren't warned. My niece had the chicken bowl, which had grilled chicken breast, danish feta, avocado, roasted almonds, edamame, zucchini noodle, tomato, chilli mayonnaise, leaves, and ginger reduction. She liked it so much that she has already been back with her friends. All in all, a delicious meal.

i'm quite an expert yelper--so i can only give sonoma bakery at bondi beach five of the ten stars…read more just kidding! i mean--some of you were getting all huffy weren't you? well, let me just tell you, i'd give the sonoma bakery six stars if i could. but a one point deduction for serving typically australian bacon. ok--yes, disclosure--i am from the US. we did elect trump. so by all means, we clearly are not perfect. but when it comes to bacon... let me explain it this way--if you watch a tv show or movie, and there's a prisoner on death row--and they ask "what will you be having for your last meal, bubba?" and he says "bacon. lots of bacon." i bet the good, kind people sitting in their living rooms in australia (and canada) are befuddled by bubba. "did he say BACON?" well, if you grew up with maple sizzling bacon--you'd understand. yes, it's so good that it is often used by the CIA to break vegans after a long bout of deprivation and to elicit confessions about where the soy is stashed. ok, but beyond the aussies not knowing the joys of true, cured pork belly, i mean everything this bakery serves is simply delicious. in some ways, it's everything you expect of a standard pastry/toast but exceedingly well executed. it doesn't try to be too crazy or innovative--it knows the main stream and makes sure it tastes elegantly satisfying. i've asked the super caffeinated and friendly people there what to order. they are darlings. but everything they've suggested is never quite as fantastic as just stuff i order off the menu or that looks good in the case. after 4 days of eating there: absolute favorites: eggplant, sundried tomato sandwich (pre-prepared) [and i'm not vegetarian but] the flavors were entirely satisfying and my palate was extremely pleased all around avocado toast (avo toast). as good as it gets. worth every dime of its reasonable price muffins. i am extremely picky about muffins, but these are moist but not underdone. the berry one is the one i like better than the carrot one, but i would not shun either from my table or bed any night. menage maybe? ham and cheese croissant. i think the aussies must grow seeds like weeds out here, because every time i get something seeded here, it makes the americans look like stingy seed hoarders awaiting the climate apocalypse. the seeds are generous, and when warmed/toasted up, they really blossom with flavor. please always say yes when they ask to warm it up. and eat it soon. bread loves--they sell all sorts of sourdough. the crumb--or the holes--are not too big (which we often see in artisan loaves) or too small. they're are simply perfect and surprisingly uniform. it is both light and substantial--and if you've ever made bread, you realize this loaf is the one that illustrates the magic of what flour, water, and yeast can achieve. often in the evening i find myself regretting i didn't get a loaf before they closed. *** as for the things we think are solid but we won't be going back for (because we want to focus on the above list): poached eggs on toast. just ok but especially not great on takeaway. danish and mini danish (looks great though with the big fruit on top) and did i mention as an american, nothing gives me more of a feeling of superiority than the bacon they serve at sonoma? *** it is daring to call your restaurant after a gem of a wine region in california. but in this case, it's entirely appropriate. when planning your stay in bondi, perhaps consider mapping all the airbnbs within a 600 foot radius from this bakery. you will thank me later.

Make your way down the mint green alleyway, however, and up the industrial metal stairs - you are in the right place, I promise - and you'll be in for a real treat. With a gorgeous roof terrace and a lovely beachy shabby chic vibe, Will & Co feels authentic and homely. The coffee tasted great to me (granted, I'm no connoisseur), and the pastries and muffins looked delicious. The gallery is small but adds a little something to this space, and is great to wander round while waiting for your coffee to brew. I would definitely come back here if I'm in the area again - on a hot day it would be perfect!

The baristas were all babes - please thank your mothers for me for you turning out so attractively. And the food did look good.... the coffee however, just wasnt amazing. Look, they did do a fancy fern on the top and I love the ceramic cups they came in, but didnt kick any goals for me.

Personally, I've gotten a bit autistic over the spelt scones and can't seem to get anything else. The flavors change daily and they're especially good on days where nuts are present and there's a honey glaze. All reviews so far lead to spelt scones, so ordering is a no-brainer. If you must go another route, I can also vouch for everything else I've tried--sandwiches, sweets, bread loaves, baguettes--and you won't even feel too bad for the inevitable carbluttony because the beach isn't even visible from the bakery and out of sight, out of mind.
