Best coffee in town. Eggs Benny has never failed. Nicest breakfast ever. Great friendly staff to go along with great coffee and breakfast.
Great little Cafe. The staff were friendly and the coffee was well made. Not a huge fan of Genovese coffee but they did the best with it. The process is order and pay at the counter which really slows things down but again the staff were brilliant and made up for it.

Pre Croydon Cinema lunch and we couldn’t get a park on the Main Street so made our way to the cinema carpark and walked looking for an interesting eatery. Our first stop was Bekendales and with the seating outdoors being full of patrons we decided to venture inside. The interior is well laid out with booths, tables and high tables with stools.
The menu was ideal and we both liked that we could build my our own breakfast. I chose poached eggs on sour dough, potato rosti and haloumi. My daughter had just the sour dough with pulled pork, feta and rosti.
Wow. Couldn’t fault our meals. Portion size was good. Taste nice and light.
For drinks we had a chocolate shake and I had the berry smoothie.
Service was great. Staff very efficient, helpful and always with big smiles.
A refreshing addition to the Croydon dining scene.
Notes: not wheelchair accessible except if you’re dining outside. Kid friendly. Good parking at the rear of the cafe.
We have been here twice now for breakfast and I have to say it is the best breakfast around. The food is fresh, organic and absolutely delicious!!!!!
This is a beautiful little cafe with a great vibe. The corn fritters were the best I’ve ever tasted, a generous serve complete with rocket, avocado, pomegranates, tasty mayo & more. Coffee was absolutely super. Lovely friendly staff & good service. We will be back for more.
This is just about the perfect cafe. Great coffee and delicious food, with a good atmos.
Table service would make it perfect, but then that's being picky.
Came here with my son for breakfast. Reservation is a must on Saturday as it filled up really quick. They had a big sign to order at the counter. Not my preference, it’s much nicer if your order was taken by a wait staff but I guess this way everyone seated with food has already paid. Works for this establishment. I ordered the Wood Baked Salmon with Grains and my son had the Chorizo and Potato Omelette. Very well presented and delicious. My soy latte was great and not “milky”. Will come back and try their other dishes.
My favourite place to while away a Sunday morning over a delicious coffee and a hearty breakfast. The staff are fantastic and the menu is updated regularly. Go early, as it gets quite busy around mid-morning!
Great food and staff.
GF toast, feta,beetroot jam was really nice.
Being over critical, I like crispy bacon, and hollandaise needed more lemon juice.
Will be back.
What can I say... YUM
My eyes were bigger than my belly but I wanted to try the lot on the big breakfast!
After being recommended to me by friends my partner and I thought Sunday brunch would be good.
Lived up to the expectation I was given!
Ive lived in Croydon for 30 years, went to school at the old St Edmunds on Lacey street and had never really delved into the Culinary side of Main street, that changed with an RDO from work, had always heard good things about Bekendales and was yet to try it..... what have I been missing out on !!
My brother and I Both got the BBQ Pork Burger with Pineapple corn salsa, Habanero and a very generous side of Rustic Fries, accompanied by a Beer from The Local Brewery, great atmosphere and an equally great feed, will see return for their famed Breakfasts
First time here to check this much raved about cafe. Ordered the Eggs Benedict - this has an interesting twist from the norm with charred corn added and served on toasted Turkish bread. Pulled pork was tender and nice but imo, needed more flavouring. Yummy dish on the whole. Would have loved more hollandaise though. Coffee was Genovese- good beans but coffee didn't taste as strong as it should be compared with other Genovese cafes. Still good, don't get me wrong. Worth a try if you're in the area.
