Although I'm not frequently up early enough to enjoy what must be a beautiful sunrise over Warriwood, I am an admirer of the Sunrise Café. Perched up high on the Warriwood headland, the Sunrise Café faces north and gets a glorious vista over our beautiful northern beaches. The café itself is quite small, although there is sufficient indoor and outdoor seating - plus, what's better than sitting inside? Sitting at the park atop the headland? Sitting down on the beach? Both are serious options!
Outside its glorious location, the Sunrise Café has a fair bit going for it. Let's start with the coffee - yummy! It also offers a range of other café-style goodies that never disappoint - milkshakes, banana bread, iced coffees and a variety of muffins and the such are always a good bet for a sneaky morning tea.
The Sunrise Café also has what my friends and I term "real food" - primarily, burgers. The burgers here are second to none, and it's a little-known fact that a burger with the lot (about $7) from the Sunrise Café, followed by a dip at Warriwood, is the world's most effective hangover cure. No, really! There's also a range of hot chips, wraps and the such to keep the pickier amongst us happy - but I really recommend the burgers! With not many other businesses around, nice staff and pretty good food, the Sunrise Café is a great place to find yourself at any point in the day! read more
