Great little beachside cafe. 👍🏻
coffee : great ( one of the best around, full bodied rich and well made, with foam last all the way to the bottom of the cup ⭐️ coffee ☕️ )
service and staff : friendly and welcoming fast and efficient even in peak periods.
food : could improve dramatically, I’ve tried 3 breakfast items so far and wasn’t happy with and didn’t finish 2 of them. The scrambled eggs are microwaved which is beyond my comprehension as to why. The avocado is from a tube .. again I don’t understand as to why. If only they made things fresh 🤷♀️ I won’t be trying any other food items from here but will continue to come for the coffee, the view, and because my pup loves it here.
Dog friendly: treats milk chicken water etc available. Very happy 🐶
View and atmosphere : absolutely spectacular / ocean views
Seating: plenty of seating with shading / umbrellas provided
Cost : low to medium
Parking : plentiful but occasionally have to wait for a spot in peak periods.
Beach from cafe : 20mts
Parking from cafe 5mtrs -200mtrs
Amazing location.
To be consistent, I only review standard plain hamburgers at every outlet we visit endeavouring to give my rating some credibility.
Today, my wife and I visited this outlet, as usual I ordered a hamburger and I rated my hamburger:
Here are the main 3 criteria I focus on when rating a plain hamburger:
1. Patty Quality : Texture and juiciness, seasoning and meat quality; 3 out 5.
Overall Construction: assembly proportions, freshness and Balance: 3 out of 5
Value and Consistency: Price vs. quality, consistency and service speed: 4 out of 5
The food was shockingly average. A burger, two drinks and a wrap cost $55. The food is boring and bland no heart into it whatsoever, for the price the food should have something to it, I could’ve gone to a deli and gotten a better meal. I bought an iced mocha, it came with no ice and when I asked for ice they looked at me like I was silly.Honestly don’t go here , don’t waste your money.
Super lovely experience, midweek. Great facilities and outdoor dining was peaceful,bright, very clean with part shade available. Food and service excellent. Especially liked Lemon/Lime & bitters made with lemon squash. Very refreshing. Our tacos were top notch!
Everything tastes homemade and high-quality, with options for lighter salads or hearty brunch plates that satisfy any craving. Service is warm, portions are spot-on, and the prices feel like a steal for this level of excellence.
Munchas Cafe has nailed the perfect cafe experience—great ambiance paired with food that’s consistently delicious and creative. If you’re hungry, this is your spot. 5 stars all the way! ★★★★★
Went for a swim and couldn’t help but smell the yum food so we had to stop for a feed. It was really good and our kids loved the milkshakes.
Stellar atmosphere and great beach side views.
People are nice, owners are great, food is good. but the prices are a bit high.
No complaints, high prices are the modern way for places like this.
Great customer service. Plenty of good options on the menu. Customised my burger. I ordered a beef burger and an iced mocha they were both very tasty. Plenty of shaded seating. Busy area with dogs around which was lovely.
