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.

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.

Came to Bondi a week after the terrible tragedy to lay flowers & pay my respects, and I instantly felt a lighter, positive and calming energy that lifted my spirits as soon as I walked into Glory Days. Without even mentioning anything about what had happened, I felt this incredibly strong connection of community, which was exactly the energy Bondi needs to begin healing. This venue is 11/10. Tremendous staff, phenomenal service, great atmosphere, superb location, and the food…absolutely perfect. Can’t say enough good things about Glory Days, my new favourite cafe ❤️

As locals, we have plenty of great options in Bondi but Glory Days is one we always come back to. The space is beautiful, the food is unreal, and the staff genuinely make you feel welcome every time. You can really feel the good energy here. Big shout-out to Jess and Alfie for the great management, it definitely shows. Well done guys 💜

I usually don’t eat in restaurants near touristic places because they feel like a trap, but I am glad we stopped by Glory Days. The food was excellent. Service was friendly and the atmosphere an views to the beach were fantastic. We ordered the tuna bowl and the shrimp sandwich and we enjoyed Aperol spritz, and they were delicious. Highly recommend Glory Days
