Added a few extras to my brekky. Which put the price up a little. But what price do you put on really great food.
Service was great.
Air was fresh blowing in from the ocean.
Couple of tough cars cruising by. Good spot for a quite mid week breakfast.

We come here a couple times a week for a milkshake and a coffee. The Irish girl is great, super friendly and makes amazing coffee and milkshakes which is why we are regulars. She recommended the works burger today which I had and it was massive and very tasty! Thanks cya again soon!

IN RESPONSE TO YOU.
My God. HAVE YOU been to another reputable cafe anywhere even in other states perhaps? To give YOU context, and maybe why I find your "avo on toast" offensive, at over 50yo travelling and living in other parts of the country, including recent extensive travels dining out, I can assure you that your slice of bread with smash avo for $15 is as outrageous as it comes. It's ridiculous you even try convince me or anyone that your dish is valuable as is.

Ok, I rarely have bad food experience but this needs a post. A random stop for food, the menu ok, coffee was reasonable, but COME ON. Avo on toast for $15 for a slice of bread with some smashed avocado, likely worth about $2? I know it's not intentional but it's offensive to be serving this. Do better. Fair to say never to return.

Went in with a group of friends and saw on the website menu of an item, must have been website designer error as there was an item I was craving and was so grateful they had it. Sadly when showing up to the restaurant they said they didn’t have it but could do it. It was delicious and more than I could ask for. Would highly recommend this place, the chicken nuggets looked Devine and so did all the burgers and sandwiches, the chips are yummy as too. thank you to the staff on on the 21/01/25 forever grateful for the dish

Dropped in for the best Ice Coffee on the coast. I'd just like to say that the Irish lady who served me is amazing. I've been there on several occasions now and she makes my day with her fantastic service and cheerful nature.

My friend and i recently visited the Sanctuary Cafe by the beach and had the pleasure of being served by Eileen, a lovely Irish lady. While the food was good enough for a casual cafe meal by the beach, what really made our visit stand out was Eileen's warm and friendly service. She was attentive, chatty, and made us feel welcome. If you're looking for a relaxed beachside cafe experience with great service, the Sanctuary Cafe is worth a visit.

Where to start? We dined here for lunch, and there was a litany of issues our group experienced. I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak Burger, and requested the $4.99 chips and can of drink add-on. This add-on was openly advertised on a sign stuck to the register. It was also on the electronic boards behind the register. I was advised they aren’t offering that deal. I was bemused. I pointed
out the sign at the register, but was told it wasn’t being offered. I then asked the server to take down the sign in that case. She advised only the owner could do that. I was tempted to remove it myself. After some additional back and forth, I reluctantly accepted that I wasn’t going to be provided with the $4.99 add-on.

The fifth person of 5 in our group then ordered. After ordering, he was advised they were no longer taking orders! Presumably as the kitchen was overwhelmed. He pointed out that the other 4 in our group had ordered, and we ordered 1 after the other and now he wouldn’t be able to eat with us. This line of argument was evidently not compelling and he ended up having to go next door to get some food.

Finally, the first person in our group patiently waited and watched as 3 of us received and ate our orders. After about 30 minutes he enquired where his burger was. At this point he learned that the order hadn’t been actioned by the kitchen. He requested and received a refund and ended up with a pie from next door instead.

We will never dine here again.

Food tastes amazing, I was pleasantly surprised by the brekkie burrito. Young girl with strawberry blonde hair, (unsure how to spell her name, ma-lee-yah?) Was such a saint I loved being served by her. Brightened my day xx will come back
