We decided to use this as excuse to visit the Collaroy on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. We popped into Outpost Espresso, a short walk from the beach. Perfect for a coffee or a bite to eat, pre or post beach visit. This cosy cafe is popular with locals and visitors alike. Serving the ever popular Campos Coffee with Single origin varieties from Guatamala and Columbia. The staff are very friendly, on first name basis with many visitors and chatting to the customers as they wait for their take away coffees. The menu caters to people wanting to dine in or those in a rush after a quick bite on the run. There are a range of cookies, cakes and sandwiches. There are all day breakfast options including chia, pudding and granola. We ordered ricotta on toast. Served on sour dough from brasserie bread with cinnamon and honey on top, simple and tasty. The also do a range of healthy bowl options. We ordered the tuna bowl. The flavour was nice, the bowl made with a mix of quinoa, almonds, sunflower seeds carrot kale and tuna all mixed together with two eggs on top. Great little cafe for a good coffee, friendly service and a bite to eat.

I have a sour cherry and raisin toast ($4.50) and enjoy the unexpected flavour burst of the cherries. Its bustling with people and the two tables outside are packed I turn around to admire the view of Long Reef out the window, then turn around to admire the lilies in the vase with the big leaf wrapped around it - nice touch I think. There are also T2 teas available for sale in an old antique display that has a seat that hand-wheels out. Plain luggage tags that have been hand stamped label all the products. Verdict: Great coffee, great atmosphere, good food and great location.

Stroll like a dandy down Dee Why promenade of a weekend morning and you'll see a few cafes with…read morezero people in them and one with all the people in them. Literally all of them, like some giant baby has been using them as toys and is jamming them all into one room of a huge Barbie play house for it's own infantile amusement. It doesn't make any sense, only, it totally does. The cafe is Seachange. and the reason it's so beloved by locals is three-fold: the servings are huge (no fleck of steak on a giant white plate here), they're happy to change absolutely anything on your order without any pissy whining or "No, the chef would kill me" type excuses, and the staff and management are unbelievably friendly. Wulf (sp?) made sure our group got a table inside to protect the little baby we had with us from the sun, and even though he was run off his feet stopped by the table a few times to drop jokes. I had the acai brekky bowl with banana and strawberry and bircher, at $15.90 it's the healthiest way to start the day while still feeling like you're eating ice cream. The Local with tons of bacon, eggs, and a potato rosti is also a winner, as is, oh, pretty much anything on the menu. When you're done, slop across the road and roll about on the beach like a walrus. Trust me, it's great.

Situated on Narrabeen Lagoon, there are two cafes here-- one starts at $35 a plate for seafood. We…read morewent with the more economical Boatshed. As might be expected from the name, they also hire out kayaks and paddle boats for the adjacent lagoon. We had a wonderfully filling salad called the LAGOON BOWL-- roasted kumera, avocado, quinoa, green leaves, free range poached egg, walnuts, cherry tomatoes and citrus herb oil. The citrus herb oil was perfect-- just the right amount to compliment the veggies. They have a bar with a variety of drinks and also a desert case which looked good, but we didn't partake. The Boathouse is sandwiched between the seafood restaurant on the top floor and the boat and kayak rental on the ground floor. Large open windows make it pleasantly airy and provide a good view of the lagoon. My only criticism is the out-of-order lift(elevator). It looked like it hadn't been working for some time, which limits who can eat here.
