I'll admit i'm a breakfast in Bondi kinda girl... And why not - with the markets, surfing and skating comps to entertain, and backpacker prices it makes for a perfect Sunday morning out..
But today I decided to try something different and head further south to Coogee beach for my Sunday ritual. And I was pleasantly surprised. Parking was easy, the atmosphere was relaxed and the sun was out - thank you for a sunny day at last! I quickly discovered that the prices are not so backpacker along the cafe strip on Coogee Bay Road but it is still a popular spot with barely a spare table at the six or so cafes to choose from. We settled on Tropicana Cafe as they serve Campos coffee and I chose the breakfast bruschetta. The service was great and I had my delicious brekky in no time. The bruschetta was awesome, basically scrambled eggs on sourdough with a basil, tomato and persian fetta salad - yum! Followed up with the obligatory stroll along the beach, although not too much was going on.
All in all I think I will definitely be heading back to Coogee soon, but at $18 for a breaky I don't think i'm converted, my breakfast still belongs in Bondi.
