Set just a short stroll from the sparkling Scamander coastline, this café offers a calm spot to enjoy fresh, thoughtfully prepared breakfast and lunch dishes. Mornings here often find locals and visitors alike settled into the outdoor seating, where the gentle ocean breeze mixes with the aroma of strong coffee and baked treats. The menu leans toward fresh, straightforward options including vegan and vegetarian choices, small plates, and a variety of prepared foods that cater well to those after a light bite or something more substantial.
The atmosphere balances casual and cozy with a welcoming vibe that works well for solo diners tapping away on their laptops, families looking for some relaxed time out, or groups gathering to share a meal. With accessibility well considered—from the entrance to seating and restrooms—the café feels inclusive and open. Their selection of coffee, tea, and alcoholic options adds to the laid-back, unhurried mood, and the spacious deck with views over the nearby ocean hints at why many visitors linger a little longer.
This spot seems to attract those who appreciate fresh, seasonal flavors paired with friendly service, set in an environment that encourages quiet moments as much as social ones. It’s the kind of place where you might find yourself enjoying breakfast early with a muffin and coffee, or later popping in for lunch to catch up with friends while soaking up the beachside atmosphere. Dogs are welcome outside, adding to the neighborhood feel, and practical touches like free parking and contactless payments make visiting straightforward.

5 The best mushrooms I’ve ever had! Excellent coffee . The waitstaff are delightful and sitting out on the deck was so pleasant. Extra praise for the binoculars they had for us to use. The ocean just glitters from this perched vantage point. Really great experience. Thank you
5 We love this cafe. This is a genuine gem in Scamander. The best place to eat!!!! Nowhere else. Everything is so fresh and tasty. The menu is impressive, so many delicious authentic dishes to choose from. Their sweets are also amazing. We stayed at Scamander for 4 days, and thank God this place existed. Just wonderful! The service is also impressive, very helpful and super friendly staff. The location is also fantastic! Honestly!! This is highly recommended!
5 Suddenly We saw this cafe and stop on this place. Perfect location and beach vibes. Amazing food and freshly served by staff. Staff was so kind and welcoming. Highly recommended. We had breakfast and lunch at this place.
4 Came here given that it's one of the best reviewed locations in Scamander. Went for dinner, hoping to have a steak sandwich (given all the reviews I saw about their sandwiches), but was informed that they were serving pizza only for dinner. Tried the meatlover pizza on the (kind of?) recommendation of the staff. It was okay, but if the other pizzas are like it, I likely wouldn't go back. It felt like a mix of many things, the crust was neither thick nor thin, the selection of meats wasn't necessarily what I would expect (I don't know if there was any pepperoni, it was hard to differentiate), and there was so much cheese (which tasted fine) that the pizza stayed scalding for a good 15-20 minutes. Best part was the caramelized BBQ sauce at the end of the crust. Definitely not bad, just nothing that I'd recommend. I also had a jam donut which was pretty decent. I think there's salt on it (?), which I really appreciated given that it really develops the flavor profile and is often forgotten. For 5 AUD it's worth a try to make up your own minds. Despite my okay experience at dinner, I had seen how so many reviews praised the breakfast options and decided to return the next morning. I ordered the eggs and bacon and the meal was fantastic. I'm not sure about their lunch options (I didn't get to try any), but their breakfast is definitely worth it and their strong suit based on my experience. Service was good at both dinner and breakfast, though in both cases cutlery wasn't out and their were no napkins (as in, none in the restaurant) when I went for breakfast. Gorgeous views of the beach and ocean as well!
5 A lovely cafe for breakfast while traveling to East Tasmania We enjoyed the sunrise with their nice muffin and coffee
4 As we were on the way to Saint Helens, this was a good spot to take a quick breakfast. It offers a great view on the ocean, and has comfortable seating. The menu is quite extensive, but the muesli dish with yoghurt was very disappointing as it even had popcorn in it. It was not tasty.
Customers often praise the mushrooms, fresh sandwiches, and the great coffee. Their dessert and tea selection are also highly recommended.
It’s perfect for both—a cozy spot to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or brunch at a relaxed pace, but also quick bites and takeaway are available.
