Baked early, gone by lunch
Croissants and banana bread come out of the oven before the first surfers are back in. When the counter is empty, that is it for the day.

The morning crowd, in their own words.
Sample reviews, written for this demo
Coffee is consistent every single morning, and the cold brew is the best on the coast in summer.
They never mind us turning up dripping. The almond croissants sell out for a reason.
Queue was long on a Sunday but it moved fast, and the big breakfast was worth the wait.
Water bowls out front and a biscuit for the dog. We walk past three other cafes to get here.
Quiet corner table, good playlist and a batch brew that changes every week. My favourite office.

A small cafe on the esplanade
Shorebreak is a walk-up window and a handful of tables across from the beach. We pour a seasonal house blend and a rotating single origin, and keep the food simple enough to eat with sand on your hands.
Best flat white on the strip, and they remembered my order by the third morning.
Good to know
Can I book a table?
We are walk-in only, but tables turn over quickly. For groups of eight or more, send us a catering enquiry and we will set something up.
Do you have plant-based milk?
Oat, almond and soy, for 70c extra. Look for the VG badge on the menu.
Are dogs welcome?
At the outside tables, always. There is water out the front.
Is there parking nearby?
Street parking along the esplanade can be busy on weekend mornings. Walking or riding along the beach path is easiest.
Do you do takeaway?
Everything on the menu comes in takeaway packaging. Bring your own cup and we will fill it.
