Why we’d go
This is the original of what's grown into a small Sydney group, and the North Bondi corner site is still where it feels most at home — a former 40-year mixed business turned all-day cafe with breads and pastries baked on-site. The cooking leans Israeli and Mediterranean with modern touches, generous and made for sharing. If you want a Bondi brunch with more character than the beachfront strip, this is a strong pick.
What to order
The family-sized shakshuka with fresh bread for dipping is the signature; also look to the house-baked pastries and breads, mezze-style plates (hummus, falafel, pita) and the coffee.
The atmosphere
Lively, sociable daytime cafe with outdoor seating on a quiet residential corner
Local tip: It's on the corner of Mitchell Street and Murriverie Road, a short walk up from the beach rather than on Campbell Parade — worth the detour, and weekend mornings get busy so aim early or expect a wait.
Worth knowing: Daytime only (roughly 6am to mid-afternoon), so it's a breakfast/brunch/lunch spot, not a dinner option.
