The Brightside Cafe

The beef burger was delicious. My only comment was, it would be great to give everyone at the table napkins not just some, as the burgers are messy

A modern cafe that would service a big part of the local community.
Great seating options close to the beach/carpark etc.
Sadly the service was mixed. The lady at the counter may have well been a computer, however the lady who delivered our coffee’s and food was delightful.
Coffee was good - the muffin and almond croissant were standard fare and on choosing the produce had the sun belting onto them and they tasted that way on receiving. We were not offered to have them warmed.
A good spot for a casual coffee.

Travelled over an hour just to have their fritters and the pork Madame! So worth it! You can tell the owners pride themselves on the service and quality of their coffee - found out they roast their own coffee beans as well.

Packed with happy and contented customers, it is a picture perfect location for a meal and a chat with friends, or just great coffee and tea.

We recently had the pleasure of visiting The Brightside Cafe and it was an absolutely delightful experience! I enjoyed the Pork Madame with a magic coffee - it was amazing and just the kind of sandwhich you want on a cold rainy day. My partner enjoyed her corn fritters with a side of haloumi and her soy flat white! To top it all of the biscoff brownies are amazing too! They use Nine Yards beans which taste amazing! It's safe to say that The Brightside Cafe serves some of the best coffee on the Northern Beaches.

Despite the cafe being busy during our visit, I was pleasantly surprised by the efficient service. The staff were super friendly and attentive but also managed to deliver our food in a timely manner even through it was the middle of the brunch rush.
Bobby and Raj are some of the most down to Earth people who will always take time have a bit of a chat to you!

Great views and the staff were nice. I only gave it 3 stars because of value for money. In todays economy with increasing prices consumers are looking for good value. $14 for a banana bread that is literally a 1/3 of the width of what you normally get and thinner than a slice of bread and $13 for 7 large breaded basic calamari that came from the freezer and was average in taste (the sauce was delicious though) is not value for money in my books.

The Brightside Cafe is a bright seaside cafe seconds away from Mona Vale beach. From the moment you walk in, your greeted to a warm and inviting atmosphere. The menu offered a wide variety of coffee (which they roast themselves!), brunch options and yummy cakes. The staff was friendly and attentive, always making sure I had everything I needed and decor fresh and trendy!

A great spot for a quiet coffee, or catch up with friends before burning it all off on a coastal walk to Narabeen Beach.

Great spot and can’t wait to go back!

New favourite place! Staff are so lovely and really fast. Food was amazing! Will definitely be coming back every Saturday <3

Had a great toasty and smoothie this morning.very good service and the atmosphere was lively, nice and warm.

Had some great coffee made by the barista Jasper, who was very helpful to my group and I. Will be back soon.

The bright side cafe is the best cafe on the beaches to go to the staff there are amazing, kind and cheerful it’s always good to have a nice chat to and the food and coffee is amazing it always tastes so good. I would highly recommend this cafe if you want to go somewhere nice to get a bite to eat or just a coffee there is an awesome outside area to eat so you can dine in or get take away and sit on the beach.

Lovely little cafe with breakfast and lunch menus. Lots of parking and easy access to down from the headland past the golf course. Staff are friendly and helpful

Very busy Cafe as it's on the beach front. Staff are very friendly and warm service was great

Beautiful location, friendly and helpful staff and amazing food. Great spot for a catch up, special occasion or just to grab some take away. Highly reccomend.

Lovely sunny cafe - absolute sun sink in winter. Great views of beach & ocean. Plenty of staff, young, polite & enthusiastic.

Terrific, well priced. Enjoyed the fish and chips, huge serve. Lovely Tokyo bowl, fresh and tasty.

And perfect coffee.

In short, great location, good food, well served, fair pricing - could want nothing more.

Great spot to chillout with great food and soak in the beach vibes. The atmosphere is relaxed, food is very good & the staff very polite & attentive.

Amazing location, perfect coffee, yummy food & excellent service… If I could put more than 5 stars, I would! ️️

I love the vibe here at The Bright Side… so glad this is in my neighbourhood. Great service, there’s always good tunes playing and you can’t beat the view! Love the ham and cheese toasties and the muffins. A true Northern Beaches gem

Awesome food, great position
On the beach and fantastic friendly staff. Absolutely recommend The Brightside Cafe.

Ok so about time I review my new local - The Brightside Cafe located in the new surf club building smack bang on Mona Vale Beach, making it the perfect spot to grab a coffee and soak in the beautiful views.

What really impressed me is the quality of their coffee, it's creamy, smooth and full of flavour, and easily one of the best coffees I've had in a long time. Not only that, but their staff are so friendly and welcoming, which helps to create such a lovely energy in the cafe.

I'm now there daily, sometimes multiple times a day which has to say something about the place. Keep up the good vibes and delish coffee guys!:)
