Really enjoyed our salad and wellness bowl while visiting Forster main beach. Only issues were the lettuce from salad flying away (extremely windy day) and the iced chocolate could have been bigger. Otherwise tasty food and drinks, albeit a little expensive.

From the moment I stepped into this lovely café, I was greeted by friendly staff and impressed by the fast service. The café is located right next to the beach, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a beautiful view while eating delicious food. A great place to relax and enjoy the seaside atmosphere.

Awesome place to eat or just to have a drink. We had a Seafood basket which was amazing, iced coffee was one of the best and plenty if sweets to choose from. Great relaxing atmosphere.

What a great find for the traveller! Right on the beach, no road to cross. Fantastic varied menu vege options and free range eggs. Had breakfast till and coffee ☕. Coffee was a surprise. Don't usually get this quality in the regions! Highly recommended!

Food was definitely nice, however attention to detail is poor. Dirty, used knife sitting in the fresh cutlery. Husbands pancake had a chunk missing (would you not just cook up another?), my bagel still had beetroot hummus on it after I requested without it, and $18.5 for two cherry tomatoes cut in half? Bit more would’ve been nice. Told waiter could’ve been better when she collected our plates, she said thank you quite dismissively, didn’t seem interested in the feedback.
