Cute cafe, beach views, local hangout, delicious food and good coffee. Friendly staff and a dog friendly place makes this an outstanding cafe. Add some sunshine and I think you’ll have perfection 🤙🏼

Good service, great coffee. Very laid back atmosphere

Best bacon and egg roll, Holly makes the best hot chocolate as well

Corner Cafe just off Freshwater beach. Ducked in for refreshment after walking from Manly. Pretty chill indoor and outdoor area. Coffee made well, cupcake & brownie delicious.
Arrived at midday on a Sunday, so no rush of people.

We had a lovely lunch here today. We walked over from Freshwater beach for some lunch and thoroughly enjoyed our meal (cappuccinos, yoghurt with muesli and poached chicken sandwiches). The staff were warm and friendly with one staff member giving up her table for us which was more toddler friendly. Would recommend!

The best big breakfast offer we have found in Sydney over the last 10 years.
Fresh, perfectly balanced, great variety & expertly cooked.
Busy, breezy and cozy nook with lovely attentive and happy staff. Well worth the walk from South Steyne, definitely will be returning in the future.

Really lovely and quiet place to be in the morning for a nice breakfast! The name represents the atmosphere, proper! Delicious food, beer and coffee as well. Highly recommended!

Nice little cafe at Freshwater up on the North Shore. Found this for breakfast whilst up that way on a ride. Very busy which is always a good sign. Has the surfer feel which makes sense because you're right on the beach. Check this one out kids.

I absolutely love this little gem! The staff are friendly and welcoming, the view is incredible and the food is on point with enough variety for what ever you might be craving.
It’s the perfect little cafe for a beautiful little community vibe.

Cafe appears to be under new management - best bacon & eggs roll on the Northern Beaches - friendly staff, great coffee, fresh pastries - what more do you need 🙂

Beautiful location, delicious food, good coffee and friendly staff.
I've been there for brunches few times, service is great and fast even on weekends.
Staff always friendly even when working under pressure. Food is delicious, I love the halloumi salad. Coffee is delicious they use All Press coffee beans which is my favourite. Vegetarian, vegan and healthy options are available.

Amazing food and coffee, such good service here as well! Would highly recommend and such good location right next to the beach!

Amazing food and coffee at great prices. Good variation of food with very fresh ingredients. Beautiful location at the beach and very relaxed atmosphere. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be back 😀

Lunch was excellent, really fresh ingredients. Importantly the Coffee was really good! Friendly staff, looks like a new owner - they've done a great job with the new menu. I'll be back

Shaka chicken burger quality check. No buns left so took the offered sour dough option

I actually really liked the sourdough option as opposed to burger buns

Special mention to the chips

Loving the salmon & avo wrap, plus coffee served at the perfect temperature!

Great cafe with friendly staff, tasty food and with an ocean view

Absolutely love this little beach cafe.
Friendly owner and staff, great food during the day at a really good price. Dinner is also very cute and intimate. The location is perfect and so close to one of the nicest beaches in Sydney. Been here a bunch of time and no doubt will be back again.
