Coast 89 Cafe

The flagship café for Gabriel coffee on the central coast, nab an early-morning caffeine kick at Coast 89 Café, sitting pretty on Toowoon Bay Road. Drawing a trendy crowd of nearby residents to this laidback locale, Coast 89 is adorned in a charming mix of modern beach shack décor with whitewashed timbers and bold blue features where foldaway windows and doors add a breezy alfresco vibe. Drop by for cool drinks after a long beach walk, and stay for a meal such as sweetcorn and zucchini fritters for breakfast with smashed avocado and crème fraiche, or Thai beef with crispy noodles, cherry tomatoes, snow peas, coriander and mint at lunch. Reserve a table for a sumptuous Friday or Saturday dinner and savour plates such as chilli marinated lamb rump and bean puree with a glass of wine.
