Early birds who like a 6am caffeine fix can head to Gustos. Locals like to sit at the stools and natter with the Italian on the machine. There's a reason why there is often a line out the door - their coffee is incredible.

One of my fave gems of Bondi; a book lovers delight. Floor to ceiling shelves groan with books to buy; both new and second hand on offer. Slip into one of the coveted red velvet chairs and get yourself a pot of chai. Very unique experience. Great muffins too!

Shuk is a true locals secret. It's roughly a 10 minute walk from The Bondi Bardot, in the quiet backstreets of North Bondi. The food has an Israeli ethos and is just phenomenal. Great vibe; it's one of those rare places where they don't rush you out. Parents with young kids will also love the fenced off playground area out the back, where you can eat your food while the kids are safe and entertained.
