Gordon’s cafe really nails a great vibe.
The coffee is excellent, the staff are attentive and friendly, the music is enjoyable, and the food is impressive too.
I enjoyed their fish and prawn pie last time I visited, but this time we tried their Bircher Muesli for breakfast which was delicious and very generous.
I enjoyed a refreshing brunch with a friend and ordered a green juice (with green apple, cucumber, ginger and celery), turmeric latte (sugar free) and shared a plate of corn fritters (accompanied by avocado, cherry tomato and poached egg).
The green juice was clean light and refreshing, just what I needed first up as I was thirsty having practised a gentle flowing tai chi workout beforehand. The corn fritters were the highlight. They were soft succulent and lightly seasoned and I ate them topped with slices of avocado, cherry tomato and dipped in a lightly spiced salsa Verde. The turmeric latte was like my healthy 'desert'. A warm comforting drink to wash down the meal on a damp Monday morning.
Seating wise we (my flatmate and I) were offered a variety of good options by the friendly service staff. We chose to eat in the naturally lit front area by the floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking the coffee station and kitchen. Other seating options were a cosy indoor area with conventional tables and chairs and an outdoor area by the footpath.
Overall the food was well prepared, the menu was healthy and interesting, the service staff were both enthusiastic and knowledgeable (they gave us well thought suggestions to our questions on which dishes to order) and the venue was spacious with plenty of seating options.
I look forward to visiting again and trying the other items on their menu.
A stones throw away from Clovelly beach and Gordons Bay, this Eastern suburbs café is a gem offering an excellent range of oustanding food and drinks in a relaxing setting. I've been here numerous times, but my most recent time was a breakfast visit so I had the Quinoa Superfood Porridge, Green Juice, Chai, and one of the many excellent pastries on offer. Everything was fresh, incredibly delicious, and value for money.
Filled with natural light, Gordons has a super warm and welcoming vibe - from the smiles of the helpful staff, to the laughter and friendly chatter of the locals and regulars, and the wagging tails of a few legendary dogs outside chilling with their owners. Mix in the excellent quality of food and beverages on offer here and its an obvious 5 star experience.
