Ape Cafe - Sans Souci, New South Wales

Nice, small and friendly place. Located on the busiest street in the area, hard for parking.
Quick service, usual high prices but selling Southern Fried chicken with no hot spice is the biggest no no.

A nice spot just across the road from the beach. Enjoyed a spot of coffee, soba and avocado toast. Staff are friendly and attentive with lovely food served up beautifully.

First time to visit Ape Cafe and it's is definitely the best cafe in the area by far. Food was amazing, range of options are fantastic and service was exceptional

A lovely local joint in Sans Souci offering some decent burgers 🍔, fish 🐟 and chips 🍟 and golden gaytime signature shake. The fun part of it was putting the ice cream on top of the drink making it look quite appealing. Definitely worth checking out. Regards @fooderarri

Ape Cafe (formerly Blackbird) is an interesting spot right on the main road, ideally located for food / drinks and then a walk along the waterfront.

The ingredients of the food were definitely high quality, though the dishes themselves lacked much effort at aesthetics or presentation in my opinion. They were expensive, albeit not much different to the rest of the immediate area, but good enough that I didn't feel ripped off.

The coffee was delicious, and the latte art impressive. This definitely brought up the overall rating.

Some staff were friendly, but some clearly distracted. On arrival we asked for a highchair from one of the ladies behind the counter, and after 5 minutes standing around holding our baby we then asked one of the other servers and he brought it straight out. I'll give the original member of staff the benefit of the doubt that they simply misheard or misunderstood the request.

Speaking of mishearing, if you choose a table outside be prepared for noise! They're the best ones for those of us with prams, as the inside is a bit tight, but you are basically sat next to a busy multilane road, so VERY noisy (obviously this is no fault of the restaurant). Inside looked lovely and well decorated so I'd like to try inside next time, albeit without a pram. They also have a bar seating area overlooking the road / water which I think would be great when dining alone.

This place has one of the best coffees and can actually get a large mocha. The food is as great as it is presented. A good spot for breakfast/brunch with a good view. The sourdough is actually sour unlike other places. The hot chocolate was amazing as well. You can sit inside or outside and has good customer service.

Brunch date. Signature eggs Benedict with squid and lobster was the highlight - the croissant was one of the best I have had. We also tried the big breakfast with mushroom. Both were delicious. The Cafe is right next to the main road with views into ramsgate Beach with loads of natural light. The staff were VERY friendly and I really enjoyed their hospitality. We will be back again!

Now this is how you are meant to do a cafe big breakfast! Right size , cooked right and decent price. They also give you a bottle of tap water to go with meal which isn't done at all the other cafes in Ramsgate anymore . I will certainly come back for a continental breakfast here.
