Why we’d go

This is the corner of Bondi where the cafe crowd goes for something with a bit more character than smashed avo - bagels boiled and baked on site, pastrami and pickles cured in-house, and a menu that leans into proper deli craft. It's a warm, buzzy neighbourhood room that fills fast with locals on weekends, and the "farm-to-plate" kitchen backs up the New York deli theme with real from-scratch cooking. We'd choose it when you want a substantial, characterful brunch rather than a quick beachfront coffee.

What to order

The house-boiled bagels are the signature - chopped liver or house-cured pastrami on rye are the deli classics to reach for, and the vegetable-forward brunch plates (their sprouted-grain bowls and slow-roasted eggplant) cover the lighter end. Pair it with coffee pulled on their lever-piston machine.

The atmosphere

Lively, warm and unpretentious neighbourhood deli

Local tip: It's up on Glenayr Avenue, not on Campbell Parade, so it stays a notch calmer and more local than the beachfront strip - but weekend mornings still get a queue, so come early or be ready to wait for a table.

Worth knowing: Breakfast and lunch only (roughly 7am–2:30pm) - despite some older listings mentioning dinner, the venue currently runs daytime hours, so it's not an evening option. It's also a short walk from the sand rather than a beachfront view.
