Review Preach Cafe - Bondi

Have been longing to try the Preach cafe and finally got the chance today. I was not disappointed! My friend and I ordered the lotus pancake and chillie hommous toast. They were both delicious. I highly recommend both the dishes. The pancake was not overwhelmingly sweet. The flavours were well balanced. The attention to detail in both the dishes was excellent. Now I know why they took a little bit more time for the dishes. The wait was well worth. Their service was great! We were well taken care of. Im really sorry I couldnt finish the pancake stack, it was enormous. I gave 4 stars only because you guys can improve a bit on the cleanliness of the cafe. But this could be because it was a busy Saturday. Anyway, we had a great brunch. Thank you! Good luck!

Great breakfast place with good coffee. They have a nice menu. Chilli hummus is my favourite dish here but other options are pretty good as well. Staff is friendly. Love this place!

Avoid this place. It's been the worst meal we've had in Australia. We waited almost 45 minutes for our food to arrive. When it did arrive, it really wasn't great. The burger tasted worse than what you would get at McDonalds. It was dry and tasted bad. The fries were overcooked and incredible greasy. My partner's meal was equally poor. Every part of this experience, from the moment we arrived to the moment we left, was just poor. The staff seemed disinterested in greeting us, taking our order, and were terrible at communicating how long the food would take or why. As you can tell by the owner's immature and unprofessional responses to past negative reviews (and probably this review), this really isn't a place you should consider visiting if you want a good experience.

Been to the Preach Cafe a few times in Bondi beach. Lovely cafe. Very friendly service, delicious food and great portions. It’s a great place to go for breakfast/brunch on the weekend and chill by the beach. Love it. They have great coffee too. Highly recommend it.

Lovely change of pace on a busy weekend. We came for brunch and it was a great place to slow down and relax. Coffee and juices came really quickly and were excellent. Food came out 15-20ish minutes later, which shows its made fresh! They were busy but the quality was top notch. A great spot to either sit and watch the beautiful beach views or people watch those walking down Campbell Pde.

One of the worst cafes in Sydney! I would give it zero stars if I could. - Staff were disinterested and looked like they did not want to be there. Had no urgency or care in anything they were doing - cafe was not even busy at the time we were there. - Decor was old and worn, every single picture frame in that cafe was crooked. - While waiting at the door for a staff member ignored us and did not even acknowledge us while we waited, I had to go and ask the girl at the back who was polishing cutlery. - Waiting 15 minutes for coffee (ridiculous when the cafe was not even busy) and then once the coffee arrived they then tell us they have no orange juice and did not offer an alternative. Coffee was also rubbish. - Waiting another 20 minutes for food and when it arrived it was stone cold. The food looked great but we could not/did not eat it. - We spoke to the staff member and explained our poor service and experience who went to get the manager and this took some time, so we ended up walking out. - We also heard another tables around us complaining of the wait times and quality of the service and food. This is a real shame as we came to this cafe years ago and it was great. Also really embarrassing that the owners and staff have no pride in the cafe, food, coffee or service when this is in such an iconic place in the world - it has so much potential. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Really sad to do this but this was the worst cafe experience I’ve ever had. Food took an hour. Was cold when we got it. Great spot but they clearly aren’t taking care of it. Felt really bad for the workers as I think the issues are coming from the top. No apologies for late food and we got overcharged and it took another 10 minutes to get our money back. No apologies for the overcharge either. You only need to read the responses from the owner to these bad reviews to see major red flags. AVOID at all costs.

Fantastic food! A shame that bookings don’t matter at all. We booked online for a birthday brekkie and requested in the notes for the indoor table closet to the outdoor view. Sadly, both tables were given to other people. Unsettling that none of the staff were wearing masks while it was still mandatory. The food and location is great, I would just recommend structuring your dine ins better, especially considering you’re based in Bondi.

My friend ordered the green breakfast bowl and it was supposed to have quinoa in it. There was only a sprinkling of quinoa and the kale was raw AF. What's worse is that our order finally came out only after 3 different waiters came to our table and repeatedly asked and served us the wrong orders. At one point I wanted to give up and ask them to just cancel my order, but they insisted to serve me anyway. I ordered the figs toast and the toast was so bloody hard to cut and chew. I also ordered a side of haloumi and they gave me a sad bowl of crinkled and dry bullshit. One of the waiters repeatedly apologised to us, but the one that actually took our order did not even show any sign of remorse. When we paid for our bill, he lightly said that he is not going charging for the toast like it's even something to be proud of? I don't even think you should be charging us at all. I'm sorry if I've been really harsh but our experience ruined the rest of our Saturday and that sucks. Please improve your customer service. I know your business used to be really good and I don't think that's the case right now. You need to fix yourself guys, seriously.

Unfortunately my experience goes the same as many below - terrible service. We were ignored when we came in, left almost 30 minutes before asking to order and being told to wait until "someone who takes orders" is available. Another 30 minutes waiting for our food upon which mine had been given to another table. I told them to cancel it but it was already being remade and unfortunately was not worth the wait. My smoothie tasted like a store bought Up'n'Go. The pancakes were OK but were dry and dense by the time we got half way through, so they just needed more moisture and toppings. I want to love this place as the menu is so enticing but unfortunately the experience has just rubbed me the wrong way!

My friend and I were in Bondi for 3 days and ate here twice. Food was delicious and staff were super friendly � will definitely recommend to friends!

Loved it! Even ate here twice in one day. Food is amaaazing, and healthy! Coffee spot on. Vibe is vibing! Beeeautiful decore and with staff to match :) get yourselves to this cafe!

What an awesome, healthy cafe right on the famous beachfront of Bondi. I was impressed by the variety of nutritious foods, from filling burgers to healthy vegan options, there is a treat for everyone at this fantastic little eating house. Well done!

Don't bother. Service is rubbish and food not much better. Staff are not trained - we waited 15 minutes to get a menu and to have our coffee order taken. Won't be back there ever again

favourite restaurant in Bondi for clean, healthy, nutritious food run by pure legends. everybody get down here

Amazing menu, beautiful fresh and healthy food. Great smoothies and coffee too! This is just what Bondi needs.

Great cafe with wholesome food, perfect for those to want to live a healthy lifestyle. We enjoyed our meals and our little one loved her meal as well. Will be back for sure.

Best place in bondi. The staff is great ! If you go there, get the avocado bun!

The best banana pancakes I've ever tasted in my life, and so healthy! Definitely will be back for them! ��

Wholesome and tasty, yet healthy dishes in a nice relaxed space across from the beach. Good stop if your passing through or just done a beach run or surf.

I haven't quiet tried this place yet.. But if Fares is involved, I'm adamant this place is damn good!

Came here for breakfast, good food, coffee and service! Will definitely be coming back ��

The food was amazing and I have encouraged all my friends to go and taste the awesome and healthy choices served there. Perfect poached eggs

Came here to try the avocado bun burger because it was a new and novel concept at the time. Quite impractical in practice. When placed with meat it’s a lot of textures and sauce with nothing to absorb it. Prepared and tasted well though. Fries were average, texture was not addictive, bit soggy

Avo Bun : 😊 Good<br/>Coffee : 😍 Amazing <br/><br/>There were some very stunning looking dishes on the tables as we walked into the cafe. Looking at the menu, I had to get the Avo Bun. It wasn’t seasoned as well as I had hoped and the sweet potato fries looked soft and sad on the plate though it wasn’t too bad to eat. Loved the coffee! Brewed to perfection and perfect to have on a cold day. Friendly service from the wait staff. Would like to return and maybe try something different on the menu.

Piccolo $3.80 for take away.<br/>Coffee not bad at all, my personal taste just a little too acidic for me, but is not a big deal.<br/>Cafe was still quite when I bought this coffee.<br/>Prime location, located along Campbell street facing bondi beach directly.<br/>

Overall, preach cafe had such generous servings and delicious food. Bf said the coffee didn't taste the best (too bitter).<br/><br/>🥑Avo bun ($23) - This was a larger serving than I expected. The fries (crispy on the outside and soft on the inside) and dip were perfect! I loved the grilled halloumi too. Only negative is that the grilled chicken was too dry but I still enjoyed the flavours.<br/>🥗Bondi feast ($24) - Sausage was salty, but everything else was great!<br/><br/>The food took a while to come 30+ minutes but it was a pretty busy Sunday (we were only counting because we were super hungry that day).

Coffee was average and service was very slow. Had run out of two menu options after the weekend. However, the food was still good when it came out.

Food was so freaking good.

Great selection of eats on offer bringing out the best of flavors. Coffee was exceptional and the service was pretty good and efficient. If there’s a negative it would be the seating is a little too cramped. But that’s a small negative

Nice coffee. Food was generous and nicely plated. Avo bun was delicious but the chicken was very salty and difficult to finish. The sweet potato fries weren’t crunchy and didn’t taste too good. The POKÉcado was beautifully plated and had nice flavor. Staff are friendly, but service is very rushed.

Prrach Cafe is a must visit Bondi Beach, Campbell parade hot spot. Serving up fresh and wholesome meals for you and the gang. Preach board for 2 is a super generous severing and easily a meal for 3-4.. Preach boards are the best breakfast boards 🤩 it has a great variety of savoury and natural sweets to cover all food cravings👌🏽✨ Trust me you’re going to want to devour this 😋 <br/>.<br/>🍳Preach board for 2: eggs your way, grilled halloumi, beef rashers, mushrooms, avacado, olives, zaatar, labneh, sourdough bread, peanut butter, carrot, watermelon, strawberries, blueberries & orange

Actual rating 3.5/5 <br/><br/>I ordered the nourish bowl with additional cured salmon. This dish was nice and is a whole lot more filling than it appears to be. <br/>My friend ordered the porridge which she enjoyed, however, it did not come with any fig as stated in the menu. <br/><br/>Overall, nice food but expensive price tag.

Very nice poke bowl and pancakes! Great Bondi cafe with friendly ambience - place is right by the beach. Dishes were plated beautifully, the tasty pancake stack had a solid scoop of ice cream (some sorcery prevented it from melting in the heat) and a generous portion of maple syrup. marinated Salmon poke bowl was delicious and arranged like a bibimbap, with wholesome pillowy rice beneath

One of the best cafes I’ve ever been to! The staff are really friendly and efficient. As for the food, they had many different healthy and fresh options, to suit dietary requirements. Will 100% be coming back and can’t recommend enough.

Preach cafe have you covered with all things sweet and savoury, plus they cater for gluten free and vegan. Located in Bondi, it has stunning views, friendly staff, exceptional food and great coffee. We had several dishes when visiting Preach and were impressed by the high quality of everything that we prepared for us, everything looked fresh and tasted great, and given it's prime location everything here is reasonably priced. It some of the built up tourist areas it's often hard to find real good food, so if you're not after a typical burger or 2 day old schnitzel I highly recommend checking these guys out.

Small menu but great choices. <br/>Healthy and fresh. <br/>Loved the bondi bowl, the chicken flavour was perfect. <br/>Food and drink choices are refreshing after you’ve been dying out in the sun. <br/>Their coffees are great, not burnt or bitter.

This place deserves 5 out of 5.<br/>We had banana pancakes and beef burger and I would definitely come back for them next time I visit Bondi beach. Pancake decoration is as great as it tastes. Fresh coconut with espresso was unique and great too! Flat white to me was so-so but still I would come back for others. 😋😊

Quite a nice store a little bit small but other than that it was very nice. The food was reasonably priced, although there wasn’t much options. The açai bowl I ordered was so yummy !!!

The banana pancakes are absolutely delicious. They will set you back a bit, but the serving size & the incredible flavour is worth every cent.

Food was amazing! One of my favorite places to get food in Bondi. Everything was fresh, didn’t think healthy food could be this delicious!!!

When you attract a crowd taking photos for your blog, you know you've made it big time! Preach Café is located right on the shopping strip behind Bondi Beach so delivers stunning views as well as tasty food.<br/><br/>Targeting the health fanatics in Bondi, Preach Café has a wide range of vegan and healthy options on their all day breakfast menu. Featured in the photos are the PokeCADO ($19), Nutella French Toast ($21), Banana Pancakes ($22), Preach Poach ($21) and Green Breakfast Bowl with cured salmon ($24).<br/><br/>Absolutely living for how clever the name PokeCADO is because it is literally a poké bowl on sourdough bread. I loved that the focus was all on that cured salmon, with the edamame beans adding a different texture and the mango and pomegranate bringing hints of sweetness to complement the dish. To tie it all together, make sure to add a zing of lime!<br/><br/>The Preach Poach was in simple terms your typical avocado on toast. What really made it special was the presentation and the dollop of beetroot labneh atop the poached eggs. A great addition to the menu and definitely a crowd pleaser.<br/><br/>When you've got some of the most attractive people running around half naked on the beach, you also want to make sure to you're catering for those trying to maintain the perfect bod. With a whole bowl of greens, halloumi, avocado, poached eggs and sauteed quinoa, you definitely know you're nourishing your body in the right way when you order the Green Breakfast Bowl. I definitely enjoyed the breakkie bowl with a generous squeeze of lemon on top and liked that it was different to the other dishes. Typically though, I would say that this breakfast option is not really my style.<br/><br/>By far the most lavish dish was the Banana Pancakes. Towering above all others, this breakfast item offered a layer of three pancakes carefully balancing the most delicious cookies n cream ice cream, chocolate granola and fresh berries. The pancakes themselves were quite dense but easily looked over by how much the banana flavour comes through in the mixture.<br/><br/>Last but not least, the Nutella French Toast was hands down the best dish of the day for me. For those trying to stick to their diets, you may want to avert your gaze and cover your ears for this next part. You really can't go wrong when you serve a whole mini jar of Nutella on a plate and pair it with the softest brioche toast and fresh fruit. Be warned though, you'll have to mind your waist with this cheeky menu item.<br/><br/>Overall, I really enjoyed the food at this café and would revisit if I was ever in the area again.<br/><br/>My thanks to @cherri_cupcake for extending the invite and Preach Café for hosting us.<br/><br/>If you'd like to read more of my reviews, please check out my zomato page and visit @cynthiaeats_ on Instagram for more photos!

Helllloooooo fellow Sydney Foodies, it has been a while since my last review, and to be honest nothing has seemed worthy enough for my opinion to be wasted on. As the Arab Mum proverb says “shut your mouth, if you have nothing nice to say”. <br/><br/>I come to you today bringing Forth Preach Cafe Bondi, the name in itself is pretty self explanatory, all I can advise to you all is to prepare yourself for the reactivation of your salivary glands and gastric juices in your stomach to GROWL! <br/>So let me begin — I ordered the — “Bondi Breakfast” <br/>Besides looking extravagantly appealing to the eye (see pic) which most urban city cafes can pull off these days (not so much flavorful.... gutted).<br/><br/>My love for the bowl began at the Mushrooms, yes you know those fungi looking things growing out of grass in parks, I could have cried from the texture and succulent seasoning of these little button bad boys (prepare to teleport to another dimension, no pun intended), the rest of this soul changing bowl was perfectly balanced, God himself be preaching this cafe to everyone as Gospel. To the Boss, cudos!!

Beautiful and delicious banana pancake. <br/>Big portion with reasonable price (compared to the other cafe’s). It’s gluten free, vegan and nutritious if you’re up for something sweet.<br/>However, the food takes more than half an hour to be served, which is annoying.

It would be very wise to check reviews of the restaurants at Bondi before walking into one. As with any popular tourist destination, the eateries have no motivation or incentive to be great as they are fully aware that they will get the traffic through regardless.Preach Café seems to be one of the better eateries in the area. The Chilli Eggs with Haloumi, poached eggs, and spinach made for a tasty lunch, although one of the eggs was slightly overcooked which turned it into a soft boiled egg.The Red Flamingo Juice was unfortunately a disaster. Whatever it was, I could not taste any of the ingredients listed on the menu. The taste was so messy that it was almost unpalatable.My advice would be to research the restaurants beforehand when going to Bondi. There are more eateries in the area than you can count, but only a few worth visiting.

I had a yummy, nourishing breakfast bowl here. So filling! The place was empty when I called in early on a weekend morning, meaning service was efficient.

High expectations after seeing Instagram . Unfortunately the taste didn’t match. I’m a big fan of falafel but this was overly oily and likely burnt.

Near the corner of Campbell Parade & Hall Street, Preach cafe is a hidden gem with a peaceful atmosphere. Serving up some great vegan options and healthy treats, this place has something for everyone! Seems to be very popular with the locals, especially for lunch!The coffee here was delicious and I was lucky to try the Salted Caramel & Tropical Passion smoothies which were full of vanilla hemp protein too! Great way to kick start my day. (Personal pick of the two was the tropical smoothie because I love fruity drinks).<br/> You must try the BANANA PANCAKES & NUTELLA FRENCH TOAST!  both were incredible, with that coconut ice-cream and unique flavour in the pancakes, they were super fulffy!!

This café is opposite the main entrance to the beach so you don't have to walk far to get a bite after a long beach day. It wasn't very busy on a Thursday afternoon. The menu has heaps of great things to choose from (like any Bondi cafe) and I decided on the Avocado Bun. It was an awesome burger that had half an avocado as the top bun. I asked if I could get normal fries instead however they don't offer that so I just stuck with it. The sweet potato fries were really good and I rarely enjoy sweet potato fries. I also doubted the coconut aioli but that too hit the mark. <br/>Friend ordered the Preach Poach and loved it. No drinks were ordered- just water.

It is a busy cafe on weekend. I love the sweet potato. I guess whatever meals you have as long as they all come along with sweet potatoes, you would love them. 👍 the only thing that this place reduce one of my 5 stars is the dish took so long.

We came on a weekday so there was no wait which was great. This cafe is in such a great location and the food is yummy! Excellent healthy options too

Located in the heart of Bondi, this cafe offers a unique menu with a good selection of dishes. The food was served beautifully and the portions were a nice size. The coffee was delicious 😋 Great place to visit.

This is one of our favourite cafes in Bondi. <br/>Their menu is amazing with a dish to cater for all dietary restrictions. <br/>Our personal favourites are the Bondi Breakfast and the Hearty Bowl. <br/>The coffee here is also great and the staff are very welcoming. The latte art is also always on point so be sure to take a pic before you sip!

I have not yet had the pleasure of dining here, but I stopped by for a coffee. I have to admit, one of the nicer coffee I had in a while, The texture and body of the espresso were perfect.  Was flowing nicely and balanced from the machine, the milk was served at a perfect temperature, got poured mixing with the crema to avoid my first sip being milky or bitter. The head barista was well informed and politely talkative about their beans. Next time will definitely pay them a visit for brunch! well done guys keep it up!

The food is good. They have a lot of healthy options. However not much on the menu. It gets really busy so try and go early as it becomes very noisey.

One of the cafes i visit when i go to bondi beach, good food and chill staff. it can be very busy and food gets delivered slowly, but manageable. price is descent and ambience is good.

Decent food but was a little disappointed after seeing photos and the hype on social media. Service was good but food was average. Wouldn't go out of my way to eat there.

I had been excited to go to this place for a long time, having seen awesome pictures on Instagram. To preface this - the food was good, it is the service that let it down. I parked in an hour spot, assuming that would be fine at your typical café. Upon arriving, we stood there for quite a while, to be directed to our seat, and no one seemed to do that, so we asked at the counter and found a seat ourselves. We seated ourselves at the bench. After about ten minutes or so, no one came for our order, so we went to the counter to order, and they informed us it was table service. It was apparent the three staff on didn't really have designated roles, so the suggestion is - someone needs to be looking after the counter, someone dealing with the seating of tables and orders and the other doing the food. We had to go and get our own water and glasses and cutlery as the wait staff hadn't looked after that. It wasn't particularly busy, maybe 3/4 full. Whilst we were waiting for our meals, other people had been waiting an extremely long time, and food didn't seem to be coming to tables at the same time. One man's dish took so long, i'm pleased to see they offered it to him at no cost. Our meal took 45 minutes to come out and we had a salad - which i'm sure would take less than ten minutes to assemble, so perhaps their ticketing method isn't effective. When the food came out, it was wonderful. It was fresh, and nicely presented. The Lebanese plate had a good assortment of foods and the meat was nicely cooked. However had to demolish it in 5 minutes due to the parking situation. It is also quite expensive. I don't want this to appear rude In any way, but it is an honest review of the situation, and a few suggestions with staffing could significantly improve it overall. It offers vegetarian and vegan food so would suit most people.

Preach has an extensive menu with plenty of healthy options and all day breakfast (Always a winner). Their coffee was faultless and the cold pressed juices were very refreshing. Service was warm even under the pressure of a full house. Our meals were very tasty and every element was well matched. The only downfalls for us were that it took around 1-1.5hours for our meals to arrive, which may be an unfortunate outcome from having such a vast menu to serve. Overall, because we were served fresh quality ingredients and delicious meals the wait didn't ruin the experience.

My friend and I did the walk from Coogee to Bondi and decided to grab a bite, and we ended up here. The menu is really great for someone like me who is vegan hanging out with a friend that loves her meat and eggs. I ordered the Triple Chia Bowl, and a Coconut Bomb. My friend ordered I believe the Bondi Breakfast. <br/><br/>The coconut bomb- was unusual as I have never had espresso mixed with coconut water inside of a coconut. My drink leaked maybe about 10% leaked causing me to drink it really quickly, we had to ask for napkins which never came (though I don't hold it against the servers I know sometimes you forget when you are busy), however it almost leaked to the point of spilling on the floor and we borrowed some from the next table. I would suggest they served that on top of a small bowl, or make sure they aren't leaking before serving to guest, as I noticed only my coconut bomb leaked.<br/><br/>Triple Chia Bowl- I liked it didn't really care for the matcha, but I never really do. The kiwi would've been great if it was peeled, although the skin is edible if you are into that. Also I think there was honey drizzled on the plate which isn't considered vegan by many people. There was a bit of plastic in my food , and although I finished the whole dish they comp it on the bill which was appreciate as I would have been alright with a discount on the bowl being that it was finished.<br/><br/>Bondi Breakfast- My friend like it I believe it was avocado, 2 eggs some type of meat. Nothing I could eat but she finished it with no complaints.<br/><br/>Staff was nice as well and efficient for the most part. No complaints.

I ordered the Bondi Breakkie and my partner ordered the gluten free banana pancakes. Both were amazing and were very large portions. The coffee is also really nice.<br/><br/>There was no wait for tables when we arrived at 12 pm on a Saturday. <br/><br/>I will definitely come back.

Such a nice spot for breakfast! The charcoal acai bowl is definitely the best acai bowl I've had yet. The French toast is also amazing. The presentation of the food was done really really well. The staff were nice and quick. Coffee was good and I will definitely be back.

French toast was absolutely divine here. Rich, tasty bread, plenty of nuts, strawberries, banana ... and a drizzle of maple syrup. Not the cheapest but you get a sizeable portion and it's so worth it.

Stumbled across this place on the weekend and decided to have a bite for breakfast as it hadn't gotten too busy yet. <br/>Casting an eye over the menu, the prices are up there. It's Bondi though, beach front, I get it. I wouldn't have had a problem with the price points if I had a little bit more on my plate. <br/>For the Preach Poach paying $20 I was surprised by the meager portion. My partner got the $23 Beach Preach and had nearly double the food. However what was on my plate was divine which is why I wanted more!! Acai smoothies were super tasty, I could have had several. <br/>Decor is amazing, great fit out, and the staff were friendly, efficient and speedy.

New cafe which is next to Bondi beach. Perfect location for traveler or swimmer who wanna grab a coffee or smoothie while walking along Bondi beach Love the wooden decoration inside. Coffee is ok, breakfast is fine and the lunch menu is more attractive.

New from the owners of NU Bondi Junction comes @preach_cafe - a breathe of fresh air on Bondi's Campbell Parade.<br/><br/>Beef Burger: Rocket, capsicum, mushroom, sliced tomato, beef bacon, double cream brie and chilli bell pepper sauce on a wholemeal bun 🍔<br/><br/>I got a double - coz Sydney Brunch Crawler hooked me up with the chef - but it was a great flavour balance. Loved the thin sautéed mushrooms and brie! The beef bacon is Interesting (I miss my pork) but the beef was my only questionable factor. Playing around with finding a good halal patty can be tricky. Happy to come back and taste test anytime guys 😁✌
