Merchant & Maker
675 Point Nepean RdGreat coffee and young enthusiastic staff
Close enough for a walk, quick (good) coffee and stroll along the beach-front. Chance for a quick bite to eat if hungry.

Blue Bay Cafe

You'll need to drive to this one and there's a $10 entry fee but the house, the view and the garden make this a very special place for a coffee or lunch.

If you go for a walk through the Rosebud shops you are well advised to drop in to Zarb & Ru for a coffee or a bite to eat. One of our favourites.
