    On a trip to ettalong beach for the day, I went with my wife to Lords of Pour after receiving a pretty high recommendation from a friend. "Lord bae roll is the best bacon and egg roll" so I had some pretty high expectations. We got there, nice small quiet place, really relaxed vibe, very much my kinda scene. I ordered a flat white and my wife had an iced chai. Both were really lovely. Food wise I had to have the Lord bae roll. After some deliberation I've decided it deserves a solid 10/10. My friend was right. It's the best bacon and egg roll. It had rocket and jalapeño relish. This really made it stand out from the crowd in terms of flavour. I've done reviews on bacon and egg rolls before but this really is the best one I've found. My wife ordered Vegemite on seeded sourdough toast with sliced avo on it. Looked really nice and she thoroughly enjoyed it. My wife then ordered a brownie from their cake cabinet and said "it's the perfect amount of fudgeyness with massive chocolate chunks in it. No nuts. Ive never had any better" After we finished what was a really great breakfast, we walked to ettalong beach which was a 5 minute walk away, so a great location is another thing to add to the list. Next time I'm in the area I'll definitely return. I'd even drive out of my way for one of these bad boys again!

    Haven’t had such a great coffee for a while and their mushroom toast was amazing too.

    Great people, great coffee, great atmosphere. Pastries are really good. They close at noon and we've been a bit late and missed out at times and there's not much else around. Best coffee in Ettalong IMO.

    I’ve been before and remember enjoying so much I had to come back. There are many different spaces to sit and enjoy the food and coffee. The food is good but I did find my ham and cheese toasty to be very salty. If it had more of the relish on it, it would of been more balanced. I gave this feedback which was accepted without offence. Coffee and pastries are tasty too. Comfortable and quiet spot.

    Delicious coffee & food, perfect location next to Ettalong markets. Honestly just such a cool and vibey place worth checking out 😍 (pictured- gluten free summer toastie)

    Great little gem of Ettalong! Loved their coffees, atmosphere and the food! All so tasty and very well priced! We had the bacon & egg roll (had to have it deconstructed for a fussy kid), coconut Bircher; Queen Bae, banana bread and ham & cheese toastie and all were so delicious! Highly recommend!

    Rich strong coffee, great service and an appetizing array of food including muffins and slices but I noticed many people ordering bacon and egg hamburgers. There were people using it as an office, couples, retirees and a few mums with toddlers. It still had a quiet atmosphere as there are well spaced tables and an outside area as well as a courtyard. I noticed a new bar area out the back which will open soon in the evenings as a tapas and drinks spot.

    There’s an art to making a good breakfast roll, and across two different exemplars on two consecutive breakfasts, Lords of Pour showed they have considerable expertise. They’re also dab hands at coffee, with Single Origin beans reaching their full potential in a strong latte ($4.50) and flat white ($4.50), where balanced bitterness and good crema are key. The crabby BAE ($14) encases a fold of smashed crab omelette with crisp rocket, a generous smear of bacon jam, and a drizzle of aioli, in a petite potato bun. It fits in your hand, and is a party in your mouth, with the firmness of the bun providing good structural integrity until the very last bite. The Lord BAE ($12) is stacked just as cleverly, with a fried egg, bacon, rocket and relish served on the same potato bun, livened up with sriracha aioli and jalapeño pickles. It was a pleasure to eat. If your morning appetite is bigger than a brekky roll, the chorizo “scram” ($18) presents a fluffy mound of cheesy scrambled eggs and a split chorizo on crusty sourdough. It’s garnished with chilli pearls (a good use of spherification) and fried onions. I meddled a bit with this one by asking them to hold the pesto that was also supposed to be include—just not a breakfast pesto fan. Even the standard bacon and eggs ($16) here is artfully plated and continues to demonstrate an eye for good produce. It’s attention to the little things—like salt’n’pepoer duets of Olsson's Sea Salt (who actively employ people who have spent time in gaol) and quality butter on seeded sourdough toast—that help Lords of Pour stand out from the crowd of Ettalong Beach cafes.

    Great little spot, friendly staff. They didn’t have decaf though. Which is a bit of a dealbreaker if we came for coffee? - but we managed by ordering a Chai Latte I wonder if the staff shouldn’t have just opened one of the packs of decaf that they had on the counter for retail sale? Looks like a great venue for a cocktail in the evening would love to come back and check it out

    We went to the bar behind for drinks on a Saturday night. Amazing cocktails and fantastic vibe. I would love to see this bar take off and become a permanent fixture in Ettalong, we need cool small bars.

    They charge $6.89.00 for a small soy mocha. Ask you to wait 20mins + regularly. Pull your heads in…the coffee isn’t even that good. New management have taken the shine off what use to be a nice experience, unfortunately.

    Great little cafe in the heart of ettalong, quirky menu, friendly staff, great coffee, and hands down the best toasted sandwich I’ve ever had, truffle mushroom toastie! Best in ettalong! Well down team @ Lord of pour

  • 3/5 S C. 5 months ago on Google
    I used to love coming here every few weeks for their coffee and amazing service but after the last couple of experiences with the new management I’m disappointed to say that this is no longer the same pleasant neighbourhood cafe. Service has gone down, it lost the friendly vibe, and the passion for coffee has disappeared.

    My favourite stop for great coffees, good vibes and amazing sourdoughs!!! Thanks Leyla and team, you are always so helpful, sweet and accommodating. ❤️

    Fantastic little breakfast nook in Umina. Food is fun and flavorful. Good coffee too

  • 5/5 Carrie B. 11 months ago on Google
    Really innovative and tasty menu. The magic mushroom dish!! (Sadly only a name:) was amazing as was the apple and cheese toastie. It’s great to see a cafe serving different options to the standard fare…..I will def be back to try the carrot cake and banana bread which looked life changing 😂❤️.The cafe was also good value with a fun vibe.

    Wish I took a pic of the actual coffee shop. Great location in Ettalong, nice team, great service. Love the coffee and brekky is epic. Panna cotta granola is so good! My only “negative” would be the midday closing time. Can’t recommend Lords of Pour enough.

    I’ve been here probably 8/9 times in the last 7 months With family, friends, kids and parents. I really enjoy the coffee here. I hate milky and/or luke warm coffee and I’m just never disappointed here. For me the food is a little bit different to the norm and the ingredients are always fresh and taste amazing. It’s so disappointing reading some reviews that comment on speed of service or price. I’ve had rushed service at other establishments and I’d rather wait a couple of extra minutes to get the quality I get here. If you’re reading the menu and there’s a $ symbol next to what you’re ordering and you’re not happy with that, don’t order it and leave a crabby review. Staff have always been accommodating and if they’re busy they always say it might take a little longer than normal so we take a seat and enjoy the ambiance, no problems there from us. Imagine going to a busy place and expecting a coffee in under 10 minutes? We always recommend this place to visiting family and friends and they always thank us.

    Came here on a very busy Sunday. We struggled to get a table but we eneded up on the outside bench witch was ok. Food was really good (a bit pricey) and coffee amazing! I think this place would be really good if there was a better lay out, inside there is a bench along the wall where you can easily fit 3 or 4 tables. I would say the highlight of this place is their coffee, just fantastic!

    Best coffee in Ettalong! The girls that serve us are friendly and remember our orders. The guys that make our coffees always deliver and know our names! It’s the small touches. Coffee on the coast is really hit and miss but we travel to these guys because we know we’ll get a great coffee. Honestly don’t mind waiting a little longer in peak time for a coffee because it’s worth it.

    Great coffee..... if you like it milky. I drove past as its out of the main town and had plenty of people, I thought. I would try it. I was surprised that the bean didn't have more coffee flavour....I am not talking bitterness either..... and was missing the nice after coffee sensation. The barista made a good cup and I found the staff very pleasent. Having chairs with a back would be great too.

    Awesome coffee shop in Ettalong. Having moved away from the area over 30 years ago was not expecting to find a cafe as chic as this upon my visit. Great service and nothing a bother and coffee and food fantastic, now have a reason to come back so I can visit more often.

  • 5/5 Mikayla B. 2 years ago on Google
    The freshest food with seasonal menus and creative flavour combinations that are a must try. The coffee is always impeccable and made by passionate craftsmen. There’s always a line of locals out the door. We love you guys and thank you for bringing something so special to Ettalong.

    Possibly the best coffee on the east coast of Australia. I love that they haven’t partnered with any specific roaster giving them the flexibility to brew with lots of different roasts and styles. Great food options when their kitchen is open and a fantastic range of beans from roasters all over Australia. Just ensure they’re open before travelling here, they usually are closed on public holidays.
