Glory Days Bondi

Glory Days sits right on the edge of the action and nails that easy Bondi rhythm. You wander up from the sand, salt still on your skin, and the first thing you notice is the smell of coffee and toasted bread rolling out to the promenade. Ordering is quick, staff are switched on, and the line moves faster than it looks. Seating spills onto the terrace with a clear sweep of the bay, but it is just as nice to carry your cup to the seawall and watch the sets roll through. The menu keeps things simple and fresh. My morning go to has been a bacon and egg roll with a chutney that tastes like actual tomatoes, not sugar, and a flat white that lands smooth and balanced. Friends rated the granola bowl and a brekkie wrap stacked with soft scrambled eggs and greens. Later in the day there are light salads and tidy burgers that hold together without dripping everywhere, plus cold press juices that actually taste of fruit rather than ice. Portions are honest, the produce tastes cared for, and everything arrives hot or chilled exactly as it should. What seals it is the attitude. Staff stay upbeat even when the post swim crowd surges, offer extra napkins without being asked, and remember small requests on a second round. Prices sit a touch higher than back from the beach but feel fair for the location and quality. Aim for early morning if you want the calm version, bring sunnies for the glare off the water, and plan a slow wander along the path after breakfast. It is an easy place to start a Bondi day and even easier to make a habit of.

The beachside cafe had a relaxed vibe, food and drinks were good. The service, friendly, attentive, and welcoming. A great place to sit back, enjoy the ocean atmosphere, and have a lovely meal.

The cafe/bistro is located in a lovely spot overlooking Bondi beach. Its busy here, but ordering is quick and staff are friendly. The food unfortunately was a miss for us. Very mediocre croissant and bacon & egg muffin was also very average. The granola bowl was a let down, not a lot in it and the yoghurt tasted very strange. Liked the atmosphere but not the food. Also very pricey.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five-Star Review – Glory Days Café, Bondi Beach We visited Glory Days Café at Bondi Beach yesterday morning as a group of eight while in Sydney for an event. We arrived around 9 a.m. after coming to see the beach, with limited time available as we needed to return to Bondi Junction to check out of our hotel by 10 a.m. Because of our tight schedule and large group size, we were concerned that breakfast service might take too long. We were genuinely impressed by the efficiency and professionalism of the team. Despite there being eight of us, our coffees, teas, and meals arrived very quickly. The speed of service was outstanding. The food itself was excellent — fresh, tasty, and served in generous portions that exceeded our expectations. Every order was well prepared and enjoyable. The service was warm, attentive, and faultless throughout our short visit. On top of that, the prices were very reasonable for such a prime beachside location. Overall, this was a superb experience and a perfect start to our morning at Bondi Beach. A well-deserved five-star rating from all eight of us. We would gladly return and highly recommend this café to others.

Glad I didn’t read the not trustworthy low rating reviews (I can assume of the neighboring super lazy restaurants?!). I came here just because I saw the insanely slow service by hostesses in the nearby Greek restaurant. At lunch. On a Wednesday. Unacceptable. Was hungry, so were my husband and little daughter. We got amazing friendly and prompt service at Glory Days. The food was absolutely delicious. Couldn’t ask for more. All Bondi restaurants MUST be that motivated while open. Will definitely pay them a second visit.
