The best coffee shop in town. Delicious, beautifully made coffee with excellent crema and perfect temperature. The bacon and egg rolls are on point and the other menu items looked amazing as they came out. The outdoor seating is a great spot to enjoy the view of the breakwater. The chalk was a welcome distraction for the kids to get their pavement art on.

Staying at Harrington Beach for a holiday and Beach Street cafe serves up delicious coffee in a beautiful spot. Also dinned in and had their smoked salmon bagel, which was delicious. Very relaxed atmosphere and lovely staff. Well worth stopping here if staying close by or just passing through

Fantastic strong coffee made with quality beans and plenty of love. Refreshing juices and smoothies and really tasty home made cakes. Beautiful food and consistently friendly service. Good vibes, good prices, good quality, a must visit when in Harrington.

Across the road from the end of the Manning River and the long breakwater this cafe is ideally situated for a morning breakfast or coffee after a walk on the beach. The service is friendly and bright. The young front of house staff polite and charming. This cafe does something many could emulate. Making and serving simple things well. My toastie they call a Harrington (ham and three cheeses), was just right. I saw a others order this dish - the kitchen staff have perfected the appearance and plating exactly the same way each time. My macchiato while not a ten out of ten was good. There is a good community feel about his cafe with lots of outside seating on fixed park style benches and large table as well as normal table seating on a deck outside adjacent to the building with direct views of the water. Mind you, there are water views everywhere in Harrington. Lots of families, dogs, visitors and locals - the place feels welcoming. After multiple visits over a twelve month period I look forward to my next visit to Harrington.

Can recommend the pumkin smash and grilled mushrooms on sourdough. Yum. The sticky chai, was full of spicy goodness. Friendly staff, lovely location with seating available outside. Enjoy.
