Bellagio Tuck Shop
Co-owners Corinna and Felix Clark – a wife-and-husband team who also own Waverley’s Bellagio Cafe – have prioritised natural and simple ingredients and flavour combinations for a menu that lists retro tuck shop favourites such as meat pies, sausage rolls and even an ANZAC spelt granola. The cafe’s fridge is stocked with huge jars of fresh juice and smoothies that rotate daily, including green options, and a sunny jar of turmeric, peach, orange blossom, coconut cream and Greek yogurt.
“This is a little gem for all of your coffee and breakfast needs! The smashed avo was one of the best I’ve ever had – and was set apart from the others with the eggplant relish. I also have to mention how great the coffee was (and I’m picky!). Definitely stop by if you’re in the area.” – Jade Bremner on TripAdvisor.
With a refreshing approach to food and a convenient location near the heart of Bondi Junction, Bellagio Tuck Shop will continue to impress locals and visitors alike.
60 Bronte Rd, Bondi Junction.

The Lil Hut Bondi
Embrace the laid-back vibe, savour the flavours, and create lasting memories at The Lil Hut. These comments by Stella Trock say it all:
“🏆 Best mochas and hot chocolate in Sydney!
This sweet little cafe is a bit off the beaten path and located in a strange spot at the entrance to the Meriton, but go for the mochas. There’s Nutella involved. Enough said.
We came for the stellar hot chocolate reviews ✨ and stayed for a nice little lunch. Reasonably priced bacon and egg roll, a good salad, all your modern cafe offerings.
Really friendly guy behind the counter. Nice selection of sweets as well.

I’m so sad to be leaving Australia because I won’t be able to come to Savta Cafe each morning 😞” – Kiara Memetaj
“Very nice cafe in a quiet street. Fresh delicious food, especially liked the omelette, sabich and shakshouka.
Great customer service, friendly people + gave us complimentary baklava!
Dog friendly and lots of space outside.
Highly recommend, will return when possible.” – Anastasia T
