Review Gordons Cafe - Clovelly

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.

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.

Popped in for some takeaway juice and snacks for the beach and was greeted by the most friendly staff. Hospitality on point wonderful women. Would definitely come back for a sit down meal.

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.

Easy place to bring my group of clients for coffee and brekkie post workout in the mornings, heaps of tables and space for groups upstairs too. Can get busy, but that’s just because it’s good, coffee is ace.

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 ☕
