NEW MENU!

We are excited to share our new menu with you. We have been working hard behind the scenes to get this ready, with a heap of new dishes featuring, a revamped lunch section plus a new & attractive menu design by Always Studio & Gosford Printing.

You will still find our cafe classics like the Best Ever Bacon Egg Roll, Ultimate Breaky Burger, Build Your Own Breaky, Acai Bowl etc etc but if you are after new and exciting dishes by the sea, then we have the menu for you.

This menu continues to feature key local & Sydney producers and suppliers including sourdough by Brasserie Bread, haloumi by Little Creek Cheese, eggs from the Egg Shed, coffee by Single O, orange juice from EastCoast Beverages & craft beers from Six String & Bay Rd Brewing to name a few. Speaking of alcohol, we are running $5 beer & wine 12pm-2pm to make our lunches really affordable during these challenging times.

Inspired by our Central Coast lifestyle, the ocean and our staffs travels, the menu brings home a fun yet polished group of dishes to be enjoyed anytime of the day. With even more seafood featuring on this menu, we invite you kick back, breathe in that salt air and enjoy yourself.


Renovations, new branding and artwork

After a long, hard two years of COVID, where everything now seems a blur looking back, we finally decided to bite the bullet and give the cafe the facelift it deserved! We have long been a fan of Xanthe from Studio Highfield on the Central Coast, so we reached out to chat about who we were, and where we want the business to go moving forward. The brief was simple, make it bright, inviting, colourful but also a little bit street still. Capture the beach side vibes without losing its humble beginnings.

After a few months of back and forth, we decided on a scaled back version of the original, after COVID lockdowns once again stalled us. We ended up tiling over our old counter and large tables, giving some texture and colour, aswell as getting table tops made up in a warm plywood. New chairs were added indoors, and custom shelving put up in the coffee area. A new plywood bench seat adds a fresh dining area behind the coffee bar, perfect for those cold, wet days or for a quieter area.

We wanted fresh artwork on the walls, so when Xanthe mentioned local artist Trent Whitehead, we had to agree. Trent has designed some fun & colourful new characters to adorn our white walls, with pop references and some branding thrown in.

A quick splash of paint on the floor, new lighting and some fans and we now have a fun, playful yet inviting new space for all to enjoy. Make sure to check it out next time you are in town!

Next step is rolling our our new branding, getting it onto packaging and coffee cups aswell as Bellyfish merch. Stay tuned!
