    This is an interesting place where locals and others congregate. You can sit outdoors, drink…read morewhatever you want and enjoy the beautiful scenery and music. The first two thirds of the building is a bottle shop/takeaway shop where you can get just about anything alcoholic plus snacks, other drinks, pizza, and many other types of food to take away or eat there. The back third is a sit down open air restaurant with great views of the Pittwater environs. I have eaten there before, but not this time. I just got off the nearby ferry after visiting folks at Elvina Bay and wanted a snack to take back to my home away from home. Huge selection made it difficult, but I got what I wanted. It was a great convenience right from the ferry.

    This cafe has a nice location with a great view overlooking Pittwater…read more We were part of a large group for a Sunday lunch though, and as we found, this place can get very busy. The food here was quite tasty - bread and dips for entree. For mains we had a pizza and chips, other members of the party all enjoyed their food which included Burgers, salads and fish and chips. There were a couple of things that let this place down - they seemed to be struggling with the amount of people that were there. Although the food arrived promptly, we were all pretty squashed in, and we also observed the owner or manager of this place being quite rude to his staff and some of the customers, including my father being told off because his seat was at a funny angle - only because we were so cramped to begin with. We also had some meals that were missed, delivered to the wrong table or delivered minus the required cutlery On a quieter day this place would be ideal, But i don't think i will rush back there on a Sunny Sunday.

    This cafe is only a few mins from my home but I only recently discovered it. Located at the Marina…read moreat Bayview, you'd be forgiven for missing this cafe from the street as it sits on the waterfront side of the building. Entry is from the small car park to the left side of the building (not the main council car park located to the right). I visited on a cold and rainy day, possibly the worst time to take advantage of the location, and it was still lovely. Warmed by an outdoor heater, the seating is outdoor undercover. Orders are placed at the counter, but food is delivered to the table. Seating is comfortable but not luxurious. The staff were very friendly and highly attentive. The menu is all day breakfast or lunch, prices aren't cheap but based on quality of fare I would say they are reasonable. I ordered a full breakfast consisting of bacon, sausage, egg, mushrooms, toast and hash brown. The menu price was $20 which is at the upper end of what I'd expect to pay for a cafe breakfast. I asked for them to hold the hash brown as I didn't want it. What arrived was a mountain of good food. 3 full bacon rashers, 2 sunny side up eggs, 2 beef sausages, 3 slices of premium loaf toast, a halved grilled tomato and sauted mushroom. I have to assume they added extra bacon in lieu of the hash brown because there was no room left on the plate for anything else. It was delicious, pure and simple. Perhaps it was the cold weather, perhaps it was the cosy warmth of the heater, perhaps it was waiting until midday for breakfast. Even accounting for all those things, the food was delicious. The bacon was premium quality, the eggs were free range, the sausages were gourmet, everything was cooked perfectly. We asked for a coffee and that came in a big mug, ready to warm the hands, perfectly suited to the day. Maybe it was a one off to have such a good experience, and it helps when you're not expecting it, but I will be heading back here.

    This is one delightful cafe with beautiful views over the marina. Being very near the doggy beach…read moreit's our go_to place after our pup Bella has had a swim as they are super doggy friendly. The food here is always excellent with something for everyone and the coffee is consistently good. The service is always friendly but at busy times can be a bit slow but with such a lovely outlook no one seems to mind.
