This place is pretty amazing and it’s a must visit when on the Northern Beaches. Specially on a sunny day. Classic coffee brings the community together, have great quality coffee. At first I thought the burritos are quite small but also only cost $7, saying that before I tried it, the cheese burger burrito was the best I had in a very long time, very very tasty to Estes to perfection!!!! Well worth it! When visiting get the coffee with some food both are quality products. Service is fast, only been there on Sundays and wait time for food was 10min. The view could not get any better specially when it’s whales saison keep an eye out. Love your work guys, would recommend and visit again.

This coffee truck on the southern headland of Avalon Beach delivers excellent coffee and breakfast with a world class view. There is a great community vibe - locals, tradies, surfers, swimmers, dog walkers, young families all there chatting and enjoying one of the most sensational places to start the day. The burritos and cakes are so good. Great spot for dolphin/whale watching too!

Coffee was amazing, best cup I’ve had in a long time. Had the avo toast, good portions, plenty of chunky avo and well seasoned. Sat on my car boot whilst I enjoyed brekkie with an unbeatable view. This place lives up to the reviews!
