3 Best Cafes in Central Coast, NSW

5 stars across the board. Fast friendly and courteous with generous servings of food, which was tasty and hot. We had a child's 5th birthday party there on the lovely grounds out the back. A play area,shady trees and grassy areas are plentiful for the kids to run around and explore the fort. The pinata was a great idea and the kids loved beating it for candy. Shoutout to Renea and sue for keeping things running smoothly, a great day out.

We have been coming to the secret cafe for around 3 years. Every time, they get our order right (and we are pretty complicated!) The food is great, the service is always excellent, no matter how busy they are and the atmosphere is so chill. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. Keep up the amazing work.

Stopped in on my way passed and it was a nice surprise. Stepped out the back to a beautiful little picnic area that I wasn't expecting. Food was fresh and well cooked, I'll be stopping in again next time I travel out that wav.

We were in the area this morning looking for a brunch spot and stumbled upon this place. Great food and coffee was discovered. The house baked beans are amazing. The only fault was the eggs being slightly overdone for poached (I love the ooze). The food was fantastic though and if we come through again on our travels, we'll definitely be back to try more!

Great cafe experience this morning. Staff acknowledged us straight away and informed us about how to order and seating options. The coffee was great and the food was unreal. Had the waffle - fried chicken stack and it was delicious. The bench in the sun was glorious. Would recommend.

The food here is absolutely amazing!!! Would highly recommend coming here for a nice brunch - honestly the best food we’ve had in Gosford! Thank you Emily and team.

Busy, busy busy! Sunday morning Fathers Day. Impressively they kept up with the pace and demand. Food quality was superb with large portions. Enjoyed the mexican inspired brunch menu. I enjoyed the lemon meringue pancakes - HOWEVER - intensely tart and wouldnt order again because of that. If they went with a different flavour profile (biscoff/honey/banana - anything not tart) would be perfect! Will come back - but down town terrigal is always busy.

The perfect Mother’s Day breakfast on a cool, rainy day: Bellyfish apple fritters with custard, icecream, caramel and fresh fruit. They were crispy and golden and perfectly cooked. An absolutely sensational start to the day. You’ve still got it, Bellyfish.

Food was amazing, recommend the pork belly waldorf salad, salt & pepper squid & burger. So many things on the menu I want to try next time. The guy next to us had lemon meringue pancakes...looked incredible.
