Came here for a late lunch / afternoon tea and were not disappointed. Great waffles, poached eggs and banana bread, coffee and milkshakes. Staff were really friendly and helpful and attentive. Beautiful views sitting out on the deck overlooking Flynn’s beach. Well worth the trip!

Great little place right on the beach. Friendly and accommodating staff, generous portions and consistent, delicious food, well presented. Juices are well worth it, good size and lots of ice, good coffee and really cute little place. Thanks Sandbox!

Great ambience and service but the food was truly perfect. BLT has perfect ratios and fresh, quality produce. Genuinely the best BLT I've ever had. Iced coffee was sensational too. Very glad we visited this wonderful spot! All the girls working were super warm and attentive too. All round great experience.

Just had brunch at Sandbox Port Macquarie and it was awesome! Right on the beach, killer views, ocean breeze coming in. Staff were so friendly and the food came out super quick. Smashed avo and bacon & egg roll were delicious, coffees spot on. Easily 5 stars, will definitely be back! 🌊🍳

It’s right on the beach which we loved. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The bacon and egg on a roll was delicious. We went back twice. Was raining the second time and they moved our table under the cover so we didn’t get wet. Definitely worth a place to go and eat or have coffee.
