My favourite place to eat!!! I LOVE the food here and the service is second to none! Can't recommend this place enough! Thanks Seachange! ��
Great yummy food, friendly service and excellent views of Dee Why beach. We love the burgers for lunch or salmon for dinner. Something on the menu for everyone. Our 'go to' place for a quick bite or special occasion. Always a great experience at SeaChange Cafe!
First things first: these portions are HUGE. Like Texas huge. So if you’re not that hungry or trying to keep things light, I strongly suggest sharing with another person. I ordered the salmon Benedict on sourdough and it comes with two slices of buttered toast, two grilled salmon fillets, two poached eggs (can order fried or scrambled), and tons of sauce. Really flavorful and rich. $21
The cafe is small and quaint and seems very popular, even on a weekday. It’s poorly designed so if you’re trying to pay at the register, you’ll block the kitchen access and the waitresses will be annoyed with you. 🤷🏻♀️
Coffee is good but if you’re sitting in a breeze way, it’ll be cold in a few minutes.
Overall, great value for portions although they started doing a surcharge of 1% for card transactions and 10% surcharge for all Sunday transactions.
The location is great, right in the beach and it’s a fitting name for a cafe.
Big menu with lots of breakfast and lunch options.
I had the burger was good, but their pancakes and coffee are deliciously satisfying.
Big portions.
Fantastic Mediterranean inspired cafe by the water at Dee Why. Easily the pick of all the eateries along the street. Some of the most satisfying salads you can get, cannot go wrong with any of them. Quality ingredients and massive portions that can be easily shared between 2.
Specialty here seems to be the variety of grilled meats and seafood that appear as mains and also on the salads, but with the salads you can get more variety and the way they do the vegetables and dressing underneath is quite tasty too.
Selection of other breakfast and lunch items are mediocre at best, so yes I'm basically giving this place a 5 based on their salads alone and that should be saying alot. I hear they also do decent paellas for dinner, but have never tried.
Lovely dining experience here. Great service, chill ambience and delicious food. So much more to try! Would do a sea change just for this cafe.
This is a great find. The service is very good. The view to the beach is beautiful. It’s a cute little place with indoor and outdoor seating as you can see from the photos. It has a very trendy vibe and the clientele to match. The food is very good. My salmon and prawn salad gave everyone at the table food envy. It was amazing. We also had barramundi and chips as well as the Californian breaky with grilled salmon and poached eggs. Both were very good too but the salad was the pick of the meals. All the meals were enormous and great value for money. The chef thought the grilled salmon wasn’t big enough on the Californian so he sent out more! We thought there was more than enough to start with. Very generous. The bathrooms need an upgrade but for a beach cafe it’s probably fine. I loved the food and the setting here and I’d definitely be back first chance I had.
An early morning breakkie on this beautiful beach was a good idea. The place was really busy and I am sure it is for a reason. The star of the day was their farmers omelette - cooked to perfection and fluffy. The hot chocolate and the coffee was amazing too. Australia can never be wrong with their coffee man! The staff was really friendly and tried to accommodate everyone who comes in.

Stopped by Sea Change cafe enroute to Collaroy and it was the best decision ever as we discovered the delicious garlic Turkish bread drizzled with warm Gorgonzola cheese and honey on the menu. Fluffy on the inside, crunchy on the outside and full of flavor. We went back for seconds the day after.
The warm salad with flash fried salt &pepper squid, coconut crumbed prawns, lime and palm sugar dressing and chimmichurri was good too. Dishes are very generous in size and reasonably sized! Will definitely go back if we are in the area.
The only spot to go to for breakfast in Dee Why! This place is always busy and it is for a reason. The all day breakfast menu is incredible and the staff manage with the volume of customers incredibly well.
The Californian is my favourite dish and love that this place has gluten free bread as well. Absolutely fantastic, love it.
Sea Change is a very busy cafe on The Strand at Dee Why – possibly the busiest. It is situated between many busy cafes in the area and opposite Dee Why beach; perfect for a meal before or after taking a dip at the beach. Lovely cafe for breakfast or brunch and where you will see all the locals on a weekend morning. This was our second time here and we knew about this cafe from a blogger who had posted an adorable picture of a 3D coffee latte art on her instagram. The cafe has a huge array of food items on their menu as they are open for dinner time too.
Out of the many cafes along the Esplanade this one was the busiest, which we took as a good sign. It was a glorious morning, just a touch on the cool side so perfect for sitting outside in the spring sun.
The coffee arrived quickly, quite hot but delicious. The menu is large with plenty of options for a mixed crowd. Our meals arrived shortly after and the best way to describe them was: a large hot mess. The portion sizes are enormous! No one was able to finish and upon leaving the waitress said they do half servings, good to know for next time. I didn’t read the menu properly so my salmon fillet (not smoked salmon) was a surprise but well paired with the zesty tomato salad. However it was too much food.
The meals were good, properly cooked poached eggs and even though the Rosti was more of a rissole it was delicious. It’s definitely the place for hungry surfer boys! Will bookmark this cafe for next time we are in the area, lunches look great too.
I had the best experience ever at Sea Change Cafe. Super amazing environment, food came up so fast and fresh. I had my first Açaí bowl ever today. I was always resistant to it as I am from the Amazon part of Brazil and I didn’t feel it would taste good but it tastes heavenly!! Couldn’t recommend them more!
I really like this place, coffee is good, food is tasty and the waiters are cool.
Waitresses / waiters are very nice to us and attentive.
The view of Dee Why beach is also very pretty.
Parking is very easy around Dee Why. So, this place ticked all the boxes.
Highly Recommended.
Seachange Cafe have a well established reputation for doing a quality breakfast in my local area!
Today didn't disappoint from my memory of eating there in the past. Great food, Coffee, & service. 😁
Always plenty of choices on the menu.
Will be back again in the near future.
Best cafe in Dee Why to go for breakfast/lunch. Food is excellent and always comes out super quick, also huge servings. Beautiful spot for breaky, just make sure you don’t accidentally confuse this place with the similarly named place next door which is nowhere near as good.
Amazing customer service, huge portions and the best eggs benny. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful and checked on our table. Would go here again! (A lot better than Sea Bar next door).
Best Eggs Benedict. We keep returning. Excellent service. Manager checked that everyone was happy. Stayed engaged with customers and his staff. We overheard him saying that they were staying open later than usual, because they were so busy.
Had a really good experience here. The waiter was so professional, full of energy and was very good at his job. It was refreshing to see someone who was happy. It was a very enjoyable experience with really good food and I will be back again.
