Locals and travellers love Cafe 153 for its friendly service, comfy vibe and great location on the corner near the beach. Many call out the good coffee and iced coffees, delicious hot chocolate, and an all day breakfast that hits the spot. Favourites include fish and chips with generous portions, Eggs Benedict and Eggs Florentine with perfectly poached eggs and plenty of salmon, the Big Breakfast with sourdough, and tasty options for vegetarians like the 153 vegetarian breakfast, a vegan focaccia with dukkah spiced pumpkin, a veggie burger and buttermilk pancakes. There is loads of seating, outdoor tables, and it is an easy place to settle in and get some work done.
Beyond brekkie, reviewers enjoyed an apple crumble pie, a brisket pie, chicken and avo focaccia, and even dinner specials such as a snapper fillet with saffron potatoes and Kilpatrick oysters. Several guests mention prompt, attentive staff, the team being accommodating with food allergies, and overall good value. Highly recommended for coffee, breakfast and relaxed cafe meals.
