Café in Bondi Beach
The Bondi headquarters and tasting bar of local specialty micro-roaster Will & Co, where a dedicated brew bar pours single-origin pour-overs, batch brew and cold-brew flights a block back from the beach.
Will & Co grew out of three Bondi mates roasting coffee in 2013, and this HQ is where they show what the beans can really do — a hybrid of café, roastery, concept store and barista training studio rather than a full breakfast spot. Our pick here is the Brew Bar: bottomless batch brew, V60 pour-overs across rotating single origins, and tasting flights that let you compare beans side by side, backed by pastries from Tuga. If you take your coffee seriously, this is the most considered cup in the immediate beach precinct.
A V60 pour-over of the day's single origin or a batch-brew tasting flight; the oat-milk cold brew on tap or a gelato coffee shake in warmer weather; a Tuga pastry alongside
Light, calm and design-led — roller doors open to natural light, greenery, ocean-blue and timber tones, local art and low ambient music
Local tip: Check the days before you plan around it — it keeps roaster's hours rather than café hours, closed Monday and Tuesday and winding down by early afternoon, so treat it as a morning-to-lunchtime stop.
Worth knowing: It's a coffee-first tasting bar and retail space, not a sit-down brunch kitchen — expect pastries rather than a full food menu, and short trading hours.
Hours, prices and menus change — always check the venue’s own site before you go. Spotted something out of date? We keep this directory current; details reflect our last check.
