Hide + Seek Coffee
Coffee shop
👍👍 Fantastic coffee shop featuring some of the best coffee roasters on the West Coast, the choice is difficult to make! The Sunday Waffles are a must: always the original and a mind-blowing feature-of-the-week. Show up at little before 10am to avoid the line-up!

👍👍 Amazing unobstructed beautiful views of the Oceanside. The day was perfect and we enjoyed a little bite to eat while taking in the sights.

My impression is that the change room tile floors, walls, shower areas are never deep cleaned, not even lightly cleaned every day, and it's visibly grubby, stained and gritty everywhere you turn, leaving me wondering if I will get athlete's f...

Kissako Sushi
Sushi restaurant
🫤 I've unfortunately had to reduce my rating from 5 stars 5 years ago to 2 stars. Took my daughter there recently to dine in on a Thursday for dinner as Bon Sushi was completely full with a 30-45 minute wait. There were no other diners which should have been my first indication although 3-4 pickups ca...

49 Below Ice Cream
Ice cream shop
👍👍 This is my first time trying 49 Below and I was very impressed. I sampled many flavours- they have a smattering of interesting a unique flavours. The Nibs flavour and the Cool Ranch Doritos flavour were so… shocking and true to taste. I ultimately went with the Vietnamese coffee- super delicious.

WILLOWS GALLEY FISH AND CHIPS
Fish & chips restaurant
👍👍 Great spot for fish and chips! Make sure you get here early on the weekend, as it gets pretty busy. The food is great and came out quickly after ordering. The owners are very friendly and kind, and it was nice to sit outside the shop and enjoy lunch at their outdoor tables.
