This is a nice place to grab breakfast. It’s close to a lot of the attractions. Their menu is not mediocre at all. They are rather creative in their offerings that include lobster Benny and crab omelette for breakfast, among other things. Ernie is a bubbly guy and watching him train one of his new staff members was actually kinda fun. He actually reminds me of one of my good friends. They have good attention to details including how they position your plate on the table and which side the plate is facing. Coffee is not bad at all either. Highly recommended. I personally think their bacon is too salty.
Driving around Coffs for ages trying to find somewhere nice to stop for lunch.
Happened upon Ernies after getting lost.
Great Food, Great Service happy to have found this establishment.
Highly recommend based on quality of food, quality environment and very reasonable prices to go with quality service.
Finally found a place that serves fresh local fish cooked properly.
Thanks, it's getting harder to find these gems.
This was our first time visiting this cafe. The staff were so happy and lovely it lifted our entire experience. The food was delicious and I have attached photos of the amazing meals we had. Definitely would come back again
I went there for breakfast and a drink and all the workers were so nice and friendly! I had their ricotta and buttermilk pancakes which was delicious. I wanted to try their lemon myrtle cheesecake, but it had sold out already, they were so apologetic and tried recommending other desserts and although I eventually said now I really appreciated the effort they put into making sure had a good experience. As a bonus, on my hot chocolate they wrote the word “smile” which I thought was so sweet and cute.
Faultless. Amazing service and food. We arrived mid morning and were warmly greeted and thoughtfully seated. The restaurant was clean and inviting. The kitchen was open — something I particularly appreciate after my time working in restaurants when I was younger.
I loved the eggs benedict (7 variations thereof),with my favorite extras, and my son enjoyed the, "to die for", bush spiced fried chicken. FYI, the chicken may be my go to for lunch next time I go. The bacon jam on top of the chicken really topped off the meal (pardon pun).
Coffee was to my liking - fast delivery and not bitter.
Whoever structured the dining experience has done very well. I look forward to dining again soon. Thank you for giving my son and I the opportunity to have a lovely meal in a beautiful, relaxing space.
I brought my family here with us as they hadn’t been to Ernies before.
Breakfast was beautiful, i loved the eggs benny. Owners are nice & welcoming. I look forward to coming back again.
Great friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Food was amazing. We loved the experience and went twice in the same day. We will be repeat customers now.
Excellent trendy little cafe, beautiful food, service, coffee and location. Sneak across the road, walk down the path through the trees and voila, a beautiful beach!
