Nice little hidden hole in the wall, really great street style atmosphere, plenty of outdoor seating & in the sun, perfect stop for a cold morning coffee. They do offer food which we didn’t try as we were looking for bacon egg rolls. The team of 2 were super friendly and helped with coffee questions. Serving Single O - Quality coffee, small coffee is served in a 6oz cup with sustainable paper lids. Flat White was excellent 👌 Small long black nice 👍 would be back and would recommend if visiting Avalon Beach

Scouring the Northern beaches for coffee whilst camping and we find @_hungry_ghost in Avalon Beach. A little hole in the wall spot with divine coffee by @single_o as well as toasties and plenty of people and their 🐶 dogs enjoying the sunshine ☀️#avalon

Pretty nice place in Avalon to have a coffee break. Had a really good atmosphere and gives quite a nice vibe. Would definitely recommend giving this Cafe a visit.

This hole- in-the-wall cafe has great coffee and a limited but sufficient menu, and what it lacks in seating/tables (these being milk crates with cushions) it makes up for in its relaxed atmosphere, and wonderful staff. Being set back from the main road it is quiet, and as access is excellent for strollers is handy for mothers.

Great little joint for a coffee and light bite to eat. My husband got the Reuben toastie. Serving was so big he couldn’t finish it. Great value for money & great tasting. Coffee was also really nice. Staff were attentive and kind. I am GF and they don’t have anything specifically GF, however she was able to make me some eggs and pastrami which was perfect. Would recommend and come back for sure.
