Why it's worth checking out

Cafe Rafaele sits on Havelock Avenue in Coogee, one of Sydney's most popular eastern-beach suburbs. A much-loved cafe, it's become a genuine local favourite — the kind of welcoming, quality spot that draws a steady stream of regulars for good coffee and food in a relaxed, characterful setting.

The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a relaxed, neighbourhood feel in a convenient Coogee location, ideal for a morning coffee, a leisurely brunch or a casual catch-up. The relaxed, beachy mood of the eastern suburbs pairs perfectly with a quality local cafe, and Cafe Rafaele has clearly won over a loyal following.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 400 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular cafe gets busy on weekend mornings, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a great coffee and a quality bite, it's often just a matter of dropping in and finding a spot among the regulars in Coogee.

Spot Score

The Spot Score is our composite of five signals — two about the venue's standing with visitors and three about how complete and current this listing is. It is not a visitor rating and not a verdict on the food or the experience. The 4.6 from 432 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
