    Fish, chips, aoli.
    Nicole M.

    The food was good but nothing to write home about. Just average fish and chips. You have to go inside to order and they will bring your food out so it's not table service. Nice view on bondi beach while you eat and people watch.

    Food is delish, I had the burger with egg, bacon with barbecue sauce. Matcha ice coffee is refreshing. Service is fast and the cashier is knowledgeable. Ambiance is amazing, you can see Bondi beach. What can you ask for

    For Fish & Chips, the Crumbed deep-fried version of lightly battered Koki here is about as good as it gets! The only rendition I have liked slightly better is that served just inside the walled city gates of Gibraltar. A generous portion of three large hunks of golden and lightly battered Koki was delectable after a sprinkling of lemon juice from lemon wedges, White Vinegar (no malt vinegar here), and an excellent packaged Tartar Sauce. Lightly crisp French Fries (chips) were also great. And Calamari Rings were thick, deep-fried in light batter, and delicious (think Calamari Fritti). The view of well-toned surfers (both females and males) emerging from the dressing room next door, and wave riders trying to best the surf much farther out, added to a nice casual seaside ambiance. Reminiscent of Southern California's Muscle Beach, nearby is an area where several shirtless males were observed doing multiple reps of chin-ups on steel bars emplaced in the sand. Our Aussie tour guide said that they are referred to locally as "hunks in trunks". Numerous lovely female sunbathers also dotted the white landscape that abuts an azure sea. But I of course came only for the food, which is reason enough to dine here for all fish and chips enthusiasts.

    Great place to get fish n chips on Bondi Beach! My friend and I were craving fish n chips, and we decided to have lunch here. The outside area was crowded, understandably, since it was the beach view. There is also seating inside and in the back patio (when ordering, let them if you're sitting in the back patio). We sat in the back patio since it was quieter, and it was a nice little escape from the hectic-ness of the beach. The fish n chips were delicious, though the fish was very oily, but the chips were great. A nice little place to eat near Bondi Beach if you're craving fish n chips!

    Great spot to eat at after walking up and down the coast! All I can say is the empty basket says it all! Fish and chips is a must try! Espresso and desserts make it a great spot! They even have free wifi!

    Fish burger

    Food was great! We got the fish and chicken burgers. They were fresh and delicious. View and location are lovely, the only reason it didn't get 5 stars was because of how dirty the floor was. We sat on the patio and the rubbish attracted birds and an excessive amount of flies. We spent most of the meal swatting them away.

    While on the expensive side for some grilled fish chips and salad the portion sizing was excellent. Some of the salad was wilted, chips were good and the fish was slightly battered before frying so not quite the grilled fish I was expecting. It was tasty none the less. A serving of wedges was about $10 so you're definitely paying to people watch! It's entertaining to watch the beautiful people stream in and out of the bar next door dressing like they're going clubbing at day time! Beware of the swooping seagulls ready to eat your food. Enjoyable place to sit and take in Bondi beach

    We went in to find a dry spot when the rain started and warmed ourselves up with a Chai Latte and caramel latte, banana bread and cupcake.

As a kid all I would eat was plain pasta with butter, salt and cheese, so don't even start me on bread! I keep walking past Sonoma and perving on the amazing sourdoughs in the window. The bakery isn't on-site so there is no bakery smell, this is purely visual food porn. When I discovered that they serve baked beans I could resist no longer and decided to have some Sonoma baked beans and sourdough for breakfast, drooling at the thought... and they'd run out! Doh. They sell them til they run out at around 10 or 11am so next time I'll go earlier. Meanwhile I did munch into a toasted sandwich with eggplant & mozarrella, and verily, it was the greatest toasted sandwich I've ever eaten. I didn't even put cracked pepper on it, that's how good it was! The coffee was great, it's in the back lane of Gould St so no beach view but a beach view would just take your concentration away from your tastebuds anyway so that's probably a good thing. 100% yum.

    Tucked away just off Hall Street, it would be really easy to miss this beautiful little coffee shop…read more/ art gallery. 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!

Let me first start with the things I loved and go from there. LOVE that this little gem is hard to find - especially on an always buzzing Hall Street. 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. Because I want to love this place, I am going to give it another go, we all have our off days. (well not me, but I assume everyone else does.) So, see you soon Will & Co and all your babalicious baristas.

Know what else it's brimming with? Fantastic take-away sandwiches (the tuna is extra-special) croissants, muesli pots, and other sweet and savoury treats. Oh, and charm. Have I mentioned that yet? Top all that with a super friendly staff and I guess it's no mystery at all. Grab a blanket and a square of free sunshine and join the neighbourhood revolution.
