Besides coffees what makes a cafe a great cafe is the ambience, friendly staff and the glorious location. Definitely cannot beat barefoot for all of these in the local area! Coffees are great, staff are n point and the view is a billionaire's dream. We love our weekly visits to Barefoot as our pit stop caffeine fix before riding back to the East. Barefoot has been our ritual stop for more then 15 years for our Frinulla rides. Thanks for always being so accommodating to us team.

This is one of my favourite cafe for coffee and something to bite after a morning walk on the beach. The cafe is very casual, busy, good vibe and full of life.

Our local cafe ‘Barefoot on the Beach’ easy going, awesome customer service, great coffee, excellent juices and smoothies. A must for our regular weekend walk from Elouera , dog friendly with seats and umbrellas outside and bar stools inside to gaze at the turquoise ocean whilst waiting for our magic bean brew. Wheelchair friendly as well as walker and pram friendly. Clean public toilets nearby and the beach is patrolled by our friends in the red and yellow on weekends and the council lifeguards through the week.

My Brazilian friend swears this is the best açaí in Sydney and honestly, it really lives up to the hype. The açaí itself was rich and refreshing, with that authentic flavor that’s hard to find here. Sitting there with a bowl in hand, enjoying the sea breeze and gorgeous views, just made the whole experience even better. Perfect spot for a summer day, and definitely a place I’d come back to whenever I’m craving açaí.
