Great local cafe near Maroubra beach.
Nice place for breakfast, lunch or coffee with friends. On Saturday afternoons there is live music. This cafe has lots of outdoor seating and a courtyard at the back. The food and coffee is consistently good and we have been back here many times.

Deliciously soft and flavoursome corn fritters, similar in texture to pancakes. Well presented dishes. The smashed avocado was a bit stale and the bread over toasted.

What a lovely cafe. Walk a little further from the beach and you find your local gem. Menu offering has got a good variety, dishes are tasty plus the presentation is outstanding. Coffee is on point. Loving seating at the back, hidden, green palms like a little oasis. Big thumb up!

A bright and light filled cafe without the hype. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Not as busy as those closer to Marine Pde which we prefer. Friendly staff who supported our diet needs. Nice coffee and breakfast options. We had Acia bowl, French Toast, Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and poached eggs. More

Omg I just ordered the Vegetarian Cous Cous and it was delicious. So full of flavours, perfectly cooked pumpkin and with soft stewed onion and sultana like fruits. It was a meal you would expect in a high end restaurant. I was surprised. Will be back x Oh the coffee was great! More

We tried the Roasted Cauliflower Salad with added Haloumi and loved the pickled currants in the mix. The salad on its own lacks element to chew on, so my suggestion would be to add some nuts or anything crispy. The flavour was spot-on, just … More

Loved our brunch at The North End Cafe. Just a block away from the beach, it's got great coffee, laid-back and inviting vibe. Here you don't have to queue up and be packed like sardines at the cafes next to Marine Parade :) … More
