Blackwood Bondi

Blackwood sits on Glenayr Avenue at Bondi Beach, in Sydney's world-famous eastern beach suburb. A much-loved cafe, it's become a genuine local favourite — combining quality food and good coffee with a relaxed, easygoing atmosphere that captures the laid-back, health-conscious mood of Bondi, the kind of welcoming spot that draws a loyal crowd.

The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a relaxed, beachy atmosphere in a great Bondi Beach location, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee or a casual catch-up near the sand. The easygoing Bondi mood pairs perfectly with a quality cafe, and Blackwood has clearly won over both locals and the many visitors to the beach.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 470 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular Bondi cafe gets busy on weekend mornings and over summer, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a great brunch and a coffee near the beach, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Blackwood in Bondi.
