Gordons Cafe

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.

Gordons Cafe is my local and I love it. Great service and excellent food. I often bring my friends or my mum when she’s in town. With beautiful, natural light streaming in I love the window seats best. A relaxed vibe and the healthiest menu to choose from. I am remembering a fish pie and a linguini with prawns from other lunches but today it was the corn cakes for brekky.

Hands down the most consistently good coffee in the area, always lovely staff and great vibes I don’t bother going anywhere else now. ☕️ p.s The slow cooked lamb is to die for if you’re hungry and the chips are the good chunky kind.

I love this little cafe, super cute, food is great, away from the bustle of Coogee. I loved ordering from here during the lockdowns (sooo many wraps 😂) and took an opportunity to dine in and fully enjoy myself. 😋 It's on a corner so it feels free and spacious. I find cafes that are in a line up of other stores a bit claustrophobic. I went there on Monday and loved the attractive, playful staff and vitality, including the tunes. It has a real "locals" feel which I enjoy. I like hearing staff and patrons being referred to by their first names. People feel like people here instead of numbers in a queue. 🌲 I had the Moroccan chicken which was deliciously satisfying. Tidy, clean and love the ocean breeze. I sat inside and there were lovely spots to sit outside too. Coffee was epic ☕
