Great place all round…read more Smooth tasty coffee with a few different bean choices for those who want to splurge. I got a cappuccino and it was awesome. Extra points for having powdered coco on top instead of chocolate. Ordered the poached eggs with bacon and spinach which ticked every box a bacon and eggs should. My mates got other things on the menu which looked just as good. There is also a sweets cabinet for those coming here in the afternoon or who can justify eating a Cronut at 9am. Sadly I am not one of those people and so could only look longingly at the cupcakes, brownies and Cronuts- but I am determined to be back to get one! The atmosphere is really relaxed and welcoming. All the tables are recycled spools (I think that is what they are called??) and the chairs have padding made of coffee bean sacks. It's well put together and works for this industrial, beaches location. All the staff are heaps chilled and friendly which only adds to everything. If you are after a be good cafe in Mona- this is the place!

My pick was whole grain toast with scrambled eggs while my friend had sour dough toast and eggs over easy. Toast is only good while fresh and hot so we both got through one large piece of toast before moving onto our eggs, which were perfect. The youngster in our group was enthusiastic about his mango smoothie. A trip to the playground was in order after that with a kid-sized zip line being the highlight. This is a favorite with locals and it's easy to see why.

I would've given this place 4 stars, but the egg & prosciutto sandwich is DELICIOUS--soft bun with a fried egg, prosciutto, tomato, spinach, and some kind of amazing aioli-type sauce. So it deserves 5 stars. Will definitely visit this place every time I'm in Newport!

This is a small little cafe in Mona Vale. This place is good. Small and intimate. Not as good as…read moreCoffee Brothers, but still worth a stop over and a try. I think the best thing about the cafe is the food. Very limited menu, but still they make everything quite well. For me the best thing is the smash Avo with poached eggs. Seriously cannot go wrong with this - specifically as anything will grilled haloumi is always awesome. The coffee is good but not great. My cup was a touched over brewed, in other words the water was too hot giving off a bitter taste. But still better than most. The staff here is really friendly. There is no stable service, but actually makes the place a lot more efficient. As I said this place in intimate so they do not have many tables. So if you are in Mona Vale h place might be worth the try.

Swell has been a part of the Avalon cafe scene for years however I've only just realised what a…read morelittle treasure this place is. It's a pretty simple layout with almost bench seating across one side and a few table sprawling onto the street. Clearly everyone else knew about this place because there is always a a couple people hanging around. They serve allpress beans and dish up quite a good cuppa for 'burbs coffee'- in fact it's the best coffee I've found in Avalon so far. I came here after a post beach lunch and went for the spinach, goat cheese, cherry tomato and avocado on rye toast which was pretty awesome- a solid half a star of this rating is attributed to that super tasty rye bread alone. They also do fresh juices- I tried the pineapple, mint, ginger and something juice which was pretty tasty. They staff were really chilled and friendly and the guy didn't care at all that I changed my order like 3 times. They were also going above and beyond to help give a recommendation to a couple not from around here about a nice restaurant in the area. Really enjoyed this place and kicking myself I didn't discover it 10 years ago!

So I used to think that one of the only places to really go to in Mona was Coffee Brothers. Now,…read moredon't get me wrong the coffee is better at Coffee Brothers, however, Beco's food is quite good - specifically as it is not too expensive. This place is generally busy, so you might not be able to get a seat - saying that it is also extremely small. But it is worth having a seat and trying food. Not only is it reasonable priced, but you get good portions and the food is good. I will definitely be coming here again when I am up in the Northern Beaches. Now as I stated, it is crowded and so you might have to wait for a bit for the food - but trust me it is worth the wait. The coffee is not the best in the Beaches, but it is not bad either - saying that after I went to Coffee Brothers to get my caffeine fix, but I have been told many times that I am a coffee snub... so you might think that is the best thing that you have tried in your life. Anyway, it is worth giving this place a go, if you haven't

With multiple bars and food options the menu was a bit disappointing to be honest. Food being served in cardboard boxes was just a bit unappealing when you are seated outside with gorgeous views. It's also a real waste of packaging. My burger was ok and the food was pretty average for the price. I would have expected a bit more considering we were there long before the crows arrived. Staff are super nice and friendly and the ambience is good. The water spray outside is a nice touch to cool you down on a warm day. The band playing that day was pretty bad and unfortunately we were sitting very close to them which did not help. I am sure I will be back again and I hope they move to a more sustainable way of serving food in the future.
