10. Bill’s

79 Hall Street, Bondi Beach

Bill Granger’s beloved Sydney institution landed at Bondi in 2014, marrying airy interiors with reliably delicious coffee—typically Campos beans—and classic brunch fare. Beyond its fluffy scrambled eggs and ricotta hotcakes, Bill’s offers a consistently well-balanced flat white that’s smooth, slightly creamy, and never over-extracted. Perfect for tourists seeking a taste of Sydney’s café heritage, it’s also a solid fallback on busy weekends when locals flock elsewhere.

9. Glory Days

Bondi Pavilion, Queen Elizabeth Drive, Bondi Beach

Nestled in the iconic Pavilion, Glory Days pairs beachfront views with thoughtfully roasted beans (The Good Atelier supply), delivering bright, clean cups that cut through Bondi sun haze. While famous for breakfast burritos and açai bowls, the coffee here—whether an early morning flat white or an afternoon long black—consistently earns praise for its clarity and balance. Pro tip: grab your order and claim a lounger on the sand.

8. Harry’s Bondi

2/136 Wairoa Avenue, Bondi Beach

Formerly a no-frills espresso bar, Harry’s now dazzles with both inventive “H” canned matchas and expertly pulled espressos using single-origin beans sourced in collaboration with top roasteries. Amid prawn omelettes and croissants, the coffee program shines—expect rich crema, balanced acidity, and a smoother-than-average texture. The rotating lineup of dairy-free smoothies doesn’t hurt, but it’s the house-espresso that keeps true coffee aficionados coming back.

7. Speedos Café

126 Ramsgate Avenue, North Bondi

Billed as Bondi’s most Instagrammable café, Speedos serves more than just picture-perfect pancake towers. Their coffee menu—featuring locally roasted beans—delivers a punchy espresso with dark-chocolate notes and lingering sweetness, ideal for cutting through colourful smoothie bowls. The ocean views from the window bench elevate any caffeine hit, making it a coveted spot for sunset lattes and dawn-till-dusk brew sessions.

6. Pocket

266 Campbell Parade, Bondi Beach

From the Makaveli team, Pocket pairs its stellar brunch plates with an equally impressive coffee program. They source beans from boutique Sydney roasteries and pull shots with precision—expect caramel-sweet notes framed by a velvety mouthfeel. Whether you opt for a classic cappuccino or an off-menu batch brew, the coffee here matches the food’s quality and the café’s chic corner-spot ambiance.

5. Chapter One

34 Campbell Parade, Bondi Beach

Opposite the waves, Chapter One has been a Bondi staple since 2012. Their coffee—blended in-house with house-roasted and local single-origin beans—strikes a harmonious balance of brightness and body. Regulars praise the consistency of their flat whites and cortados, even during peak brunch hours. Pair your cup with one of their gourmet bagels or organic açai bowls for a quintessential Bondi morning.

4. Makaveli

177, 2/179 Glenayr Avenue, Bondi Beach

This day-to-night hotspot turns heads with its chilli-tequila espresso martini, but morning coffee reigns supreme. Makaveli sources custom roasts from Brickfields, resulting in shots with pronounced chocolate undertones and a subtle berry finish. The laid-back interior invites you to linger over your brew—ideal for before or after the weekly pasta nights and bottomless brunches that fill locals’ calendars.

3. Blackwood

Shop 3/87–89 Glenayr Avenue, Bondi Beach

Blackwood brings Michelin-trained finesse to Bondi’s café scene. Their coffee—often a signature biscoff latte or coconut-lychee matcha—is crafted from premium single-origins, showcasing bright, fruity acidity balanced by creamy sweetness. Arrive early to snag a window seat and taste the famed truffled chilli scrambled eggs alongside a flawlessly executed espresso. It’s a gourmet experience from bean to bite.

2. Coffee Bondi Beach

Shop 1, 128 Campbell Parade, Bondi Beach

Housed in a 100-year-old space, this roastery-café from Brooklands founders Cam Price and Joe Pags champions vegan and sustainable practices. Their single-origin pour-overs highlight distinct tasting notes—think delicate florals or rich praline—while baristas guide you through brewing techniques. With behind-the-scenes roastery tours available most mornings, it’s both an educational and sensory coffee pilgrimage.

1. Will & Co

HQ Tasting Bar, 29–31 Derby Street, Bondi Beach

Crowned Bondi’s ultimate coffee destination, Will & Co is a micro-roastery, barista training hub, and tasting bar rolled into one. Every cup—whether a meticulously dialed espresso or signature batch brew—is handled with obsessive precision. Expect full-bodied shots with toffee sweetness and clean finishes. The tasting bar offers rotating single-origin flights, making it a must for coffee purists and curious visitors alike.
