The Best Cafés in Bronte to Satisfy Every Brunch Mood

Nestled between Tamarama and Clovelly, Bronte has plenty to boast about: a laid-back lifestyle, a tight-knit community, and a beautiful natural landscape.

In recent years, it’s also become the place to go for a beachside bite. Next time you’re in the area, take your pick from this list and grab a table at one of the best cafés in Bronte.

Locale

Offering all-day dining in an architecturally designed space on the shores of Sydney’s best beach, Locale is one of the best cafés in Bronte.  

The menu heroes fresh local produce and presents contemporary classics in a laid-back space. Specialty coffee from Sydney’s Pablo and Rusty’s along with a curated selection of wine and beer will be on hand to quench thirsty patrons.

Cali Press

Bronte lays claim to the original Cali Press, a health café that is teeming with organic wholefoods and superfood smoothies, that has now taken Sydney by storm.

Although Cali Press is more of a place to grab and go, you won’t be able to help but linger in their beautiful minimalistic interiors.

Broth Bar & Larder

The perfect winter warmer, Broth Bar & Larder shines a spotlight on the benefits of broth with steaming bowls of soup and chicken broth, along with healthy smoothies and raw treats.

There's a small dine-in area where you can enjoy the broths and weekly specials, or you can opt for takeaway and enjoy a bowlful on the knoll looking over the waves.

Favoloso

A slice of Italy in Sydney, Favoloso is a local go-to, and one of the best cafés in Bronte. The Sicilian-inspired café and deli has a lot going for it: a sun-drenched corner location, authentic food, incredible coffee, and a friendly feel.

Do as the locals do and go in the morning for a caffeine fix and crunchy panini. If you can, stay longer to read the paper and chat with fellow patrons – there’s no better place to catch up on neighbourhood news.

43-45 Belgrave Street, Bronte

Huxtons at Bronte

A cosy corner café in the streets of Bronte, Huxton’s may be small, but it packs a real punch with its healthy menu that draws on seasonal produce.

Combine this with some seriously good coffee and crumbly pastries and you’ll see why they’re a favourite Bronte brunch destination.

The Bogey Hole Café

A local favourite, the Bogey Hole Café is named after Bronte’s famous rock pool, and it captures the suburb’s vibe perfectly.

The space is airy and light-filled, with colourful walls, beach paintings, and unparalleled views of the real thing.

The menu features a bunch of simple yet moreish dishes: think eggs benedict, avo smash, and banana crepes for breakfast (which runs all day – score!).

Iggy’s Bread

Iggy’s isn’t strictly a sit-down café, but it is a Bronte institution - so it deserves a mention.

Headed by artisan baker and longtime local resident Igor Ivanovic, Iggy’s makes sourdough bread using organic ingredients and old-school baking methods.

The smell of freshly baked bread every morning is impossible to resist – just ask any local!
