X74 Cafe

X74 Cafe is a breakfast and coffee venue on Bream Street in Coogee, open from early morning through to the afternoon. Its all-day breakfast runs from 6.30am to 2pm Monday to Saturday and from 7.30am to 2pm on Sundays, with lunch served daily from 11am. That makes it a practical option for an early coffee, a late breakfast or a daytime meal rather than an evening booking.

Coffee is made with a house blend from AllPress Espresso, prepared by the cafe’s trained baristas. X74 also says it uses fresh, locally sourced ingredients and grows its herbs in an organic garden behind the venue. The menu covers familiar cafe staples as well as more substantial plates, including eggs cooked to order, house-made granola, buttermilk pancakes, smashed avocado bruschetta, sweetcorn and zucchini fritters, and the X74 Big Brekky. The French toast, made with crumbed brioche, caramelised banana, seasonal fruit and maple syrup, is one of the sweeter breakfast options.

For lunch, the offering moves into salads, bowls, pasta, seafood, meat and vegetarian dishes. The healthy bowl combines toasted quinoa, mixed greens, house-made hummus, roasted sweet potato, chargrilled corn, Bulgarian feta and seeds, while the crab linguine, grilled salmon and charred squid bowl provide seafood choices. There are also options such as risotto, a Wagyu beef shepherd’s pie, veal Siciliana and a sirloin steak served with chips and salad. Toasties, wraps, pastries, muffins and sides make the menu flexible for a lighter meal or takeaway-style bite, although the website does not provide specific takeaway details.

The cafe also has a dedicated kids’ menu with pancakes, toasties, chicken schnitzel and chips, and steak and chips, so it can suit families as well as solo diners and small groups. With its broad breakfast menu, lunch service and garden-grown herbs, X74 offers a straightforward Coogee cafe experience centred on coffee, generous daytime meals and choice. A 15% surcharge applies on weekends and public holidays.
