Cosy up amongst the vintage bookshelves with your brunch and then come back later for cocktails in this hipster's paradise.

Fill up on poached eggs, potato rosti and more whilst looking out on the beach, what more could you want?

12. Cooh Cafe & Roaster, Curl Curl

There's one in Alexandria too but no matter which one you go to, you won't be able to resist the urge to gram your food...it's too beautiful!

13. Bronze Kiosk, Mona Vale

Right next to Mona Vale SLSC, the menu here may change to fit the seasons but it's always worth a visit to see what will be on there.

14. Sloppy Tee's, Collaroy Beach

If your head is ever throbbing from a hangover, be sure to buy one of these Scrambos - they're cheesy scrambled egg pockets filled with either Canadian bacon, chorizo, mushroom or corned beef hash. You're welcome.

15. Roseberry St Cafe, Balgowlah

There are always new and exciting specials to try, plus, their ingredients are sustainably sourced.

16. The Boathouse

With cafes in Palm Beach, Shelly Beach and Balmoral Beach, you can't call yourself someone from the Northern Beaches if you haven't visited at least one of these.
