Gordons Cafe

A stones throw away from Clovelly beach and Gordons Bay, this Eastern suburbs café is a gem offering an excellent range of oustanding food and drinks in a relaxing setting. I've been here numerous times, but my most recent time was a breakfast visit so I had the Quinoa Superfood Porridge, Green Juice, Chai, and one of the many excellent pastries on offer. Everything was fresh, incredibly delicious, and value for money.

Filled with natural light, Gordons has a super warm and welcoming vibe - from the smiles of the helpful staff, to the laughter and friendly chatter of the locals and regulars, and the wagging tails of a few legendary dogs outside chilling with their owners. Mix in the excellent quality of food and beverages on offer here and its an obvious 5 star experience.

Thank you for the super delicious healthy meal. Just what I needed for a healthy lunch. Will be back again soon.

Love this quaint cafe. Great for breakfast after a walk on the beach. Staff are so polite and friendly it gives the place a great local vibe.
The food is delicious, healthy and great vegan options. If you want to enjoy the sun, the seating outdoor arrangement is a great idea.

I enjoyed a refreshing brunch with a friend and ordered a green juice (with green apple, cucumber, ginger and celery), turmeric latte (sugar free) and shared a plate of corn fritters (accompanied by avocado, cherry tomato and poached egg).

The green juice was clean light and refreshing, just what I needed first up as I was thirsty having practised a gentle flowing tai chi workout beforehand. The corn fritters were the highlight. They were soft succulent and lightly seasoned and I ate them topped with slices of avocado, cherry tomato and dipped in a lightly spiced salsa Verde. The turmeric latte was like my healthy 'desert'. A warm comforting drink to wash down the meal on a damp Monday morning.

Seating wise we (my flatmate and I) were offered a variety of good options by the friendly service staff. We chose to eat in the naturally lit front area by the floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking the coffee station and kitchen. Other seating options were a cosy indoor area with conventional tables and chairs and an outdoor area by the footpath.

Overall the food was well prepared, the menu was healthy and interesting, the service staff were both enthusiastic and knowledgeable (they gave us well thought suggestions to our questions on which dishes to order) and the venue was spacious with plenty of seating options.

I look forward to visiting again and trying the other items on their menu.

Popped in for some takeaway juice and snacks for the beach and was greeted by the most friendly staff. Hospitality on point wonderful women. Would definitely come back for a sit down meal.

Great vibe, best coffee, sensational staff, amazing food. Just go there, you'll see. Also they use one of the best coffee blends in Sydney #thelittlemariomette!
Special mention to young Danny boi, amazing barista but horrible chat ;)
Love ya guys

A very nice cafe with excellent food and drinks.

Gordon’s cafe really nails a great vibe.
The coffee is excellent, the staff are attentive and friendly, the music is enjoyable, and the food is impressive too.
I enjoyed their fish and prawn pie last time I visited, but this time we tried their Bircher Muesli for breakfast which was delicious and very generous.

Great local café, food and service.

The pecorino eggs are amazing.
The muffins are not too bad either 😄.

Great specials. We will definitely be back.

Recently had lunch here and really enjoyed the grilled ocean trout (see photo). My fiancé also loved her Pecorino scrambled eggs which the cafe is famous for! Cool atmosphere, great to sit outside (on a nice day) or in the upper or lower indoor dining room, and a wide variety of options on the menu! You will never leave this place hungry as the portions are huge!! Great quality cafe food at a reasonable price and the staff were really attentive. Will be back again for sure!

Love this cafe great food really friendly staff and atmosphere. Just had the corn fritters and they were up there with the best I have ever eaten. One of my favourite meals. My partner had the mushrooms and loved them. Can’t wait to try out some of the other tempting things on the menu

Gordons Cafe is my local and I love it. Great service and excellent food. I often bring my friends or my mum when she’s in town. With beautiful, natural light streaming in I love the window seats best. A relaxed vibe and the healthiest menu to choose from. I am remembering a fish pie and a linguini with prawns from other lunches but today it was the corn cakes for brekky.

Hands down the most consistently good coffee in the area, always lovely staff and great vibes I don’t bother going anywhere else now. ☕ p.s The slow cooked lamb is to die for if you’re hungry and the chips are the good chunky kind.

We enjoyed a really nice breakfast at Gordons. My partner had the Gordons stack and I had the fritters with smoked salmon, both very tasty and the stack was very generous especially with the halloumi :)
Coffee was great and the chai latte was brewed perfectly. Will definitely return!

I went here on a friend’s recommendation and loved it. The cafe has lots of natural light and relaxed ambiance. The menu is varied and interesting. I really enjoyed the miso mushrooms and the coffee was great. The staff were friendly, relaxed yet attentive. I went here a year ago and was underwhelmed with the food. The new management seem to be doing a great job.

Best cafe in Sydney. Brilliant breakfast and friendly staff. I wish I can come here everyday. You are the best Gordons!!!!!🤩

Gordon's Cafe never fails to impress! The coffee here is absolutely amazing, thanks to their talented baristas, the food they serve is top-notch. And I must say, I've been a fan since the previous owners. The current team has kept the quality intact if not stepped things up a level, and I couldn't be happier. The staff is incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home. Super kid friendly, look after locals but also super inviting for visitors to Clovelly!

The new regular!
Delicious coffee, Fresh good quality food, Friendly faces, and a good vibe. What more does one want when visiting a cafe, If you haven't been go!
Coming from a coffee snob, this review holds value xx

Amazing cafe. We had the Moroccan chicken salad which was delicious and the coffee was top quality as well. Will be coming here next time we go to Clovelly for sure 😊

Easy place to bring my group of clients for coffee and brekkie post workout in the mornings, heaps of tables and space for groups upstairs too. Can get busy, but that’s just because it’s good, coffee is ace.
