Opus Coffee Brewers, Wollongong CBD

We like it because the coffee is always on point and they are the coolest kids in town.

The Kiosk, North Wollongong Beach

It’s the best view in the gong and the ST. ALi beans always hit the spot after a ride (or a swim, or a run).

Yachties, Wollongong Harbour

We like it because the old skool cinnamon donuts are elite. That is all you need to know.

Sunny service, great food and coffee with an outdoor eat street hang makes Lee and Me a top pick.

Buck Hamblin, Thirroul

Probably the best baked egg and bacon roll going. Those fluffy squares of goodness will make your day.

Cozy coffee shop interior with a barista holding a cup behind the counter. The counter has a wooden design with a glass display case showing pastries. Shelves behind contain coffee supplies, books, and decor. A small fridge with drinks stands nearby, and there is a leather couch and wooden table in the foreground.

Crazy Horse Coffee Co, Fairy Meadow and Tarrawanna

One of the few places roasting their own beans and they do a bang up job of it too.
