The Wharf Local

Stunning setting, great staff, beautiful food with incredible presentation. The only place I want to photograph my food. Superb.

In many ways this is the perfect place to have lunch - delicious food set amongst rustic chic furniture with magnificent wharf and water views. It’s a sublime experience. The service was friendly but I felt that they got a bit overwhelmed during peak times so there was a delay in finally getting our meal. Yes, their system could be a bit more efficient but I also felt they were genuinely trying to produce food of high quality so my advice is: relax. Give yourself (and the cafe) a bit of extra time, find a cosy spot and imbibe the views (or take a peak at the ceramics and art for sale) and your order will come in no time

Took 40+ mins for a takeaway hot chocolate today even though it was barely busy. Manager seemed a bit rude to staff

Under renovation so restricted access but super cute little café with homemade bread and croissants. Very inviting to have a tasty break with a wonderful view over the beach and the ocean. Take time to stop there, the staff is very welcoming too.

This is a fabulous location. Coffee (in paper cups) and cinnamon swirls for two were $27. The cinnamon swirls were delicious.

What a hidden gem! Food is delicious, coffee is great and the staff are lovely. Cafe interior is quaint and the view is amazing. Highly recommend.

Been there from the road trip and it was a luck for me to stop by at this cafe. Th sign Ona gave me the trust for the good coffee at the first glance. When I walked in, I couldn’t resist myself with those appealing pastries with different varieties. And they were fresh-made! The foods were well present with the sliced-cut watermelon. Drinks came out at nice too.
But I must say what make the high light for this cafe is the way it blended with the wharf view. Stunning! I could stay her whole day and watching people fishing.

Ps: would be lovely if the waiting time for the foods will be shortened:)

What a wonderful surprise, great location off the beaten track, make the effort to find it, great food, beautifully presented and happy staff, the flavours are even better than the pics

Amazing food and friendly service! One of the best breakfasts we have ever had. Great location!

Food was good, but wait time was ridiculous. Waited 50 minutes for a single coffee, one hour for a crossaint and an additional 5 minutes for a sandwich which was ordered at the same time.

The cafe is really ambient and spacious, plus a gorgeous setting on the water. They were very busy when we came but that didn't have a huge impact on wait times.

After a long drive, this peaceful, scenic and surprisingly quiet venue (considering the roaring seascape outside), in the refurbished wharfshed, was a delight to the senses. The prompt service, food, coffee and smiling staff were faultless as well. My one issue was the 'facilities' - which were outside and up a long and steep ramp. Good thing it wasn't raining!

A highlight from my visit to Tathra. The food is excellent in both quality, variety and imagination. The coffee is also excellent. The real attraction though is the location, atmosphere and above all the staff. Incredibly friendly, easy going and helpful, they make the place feel like home

Great location and great service. Everyone is very friendly and they use top quality products. You can't be bored with a coffee, desert or meal and enjoy the view. If u r lucky, might can watch whale as well. What else u need. Perfect for breakfast place to start your day.

Delicious large assortment of fresh pastries, a vegetarian brunch bowl, fresh juices, smoothies and coffee. Friendly, accomodating and knowledgeable staff and welcoming interior. They work long hours to provide the freshest and delicious range of wholesome foods available on their menu and go above and beyond to even serve you out on the wharf when fishing. Gluten free options are also available. We always come here when in Tathra and highly recommend everyone do the same, a must when in town.

We had a really delicious lunch and smoothies and chips with aioli. Great presentation of food and service was excellent. Can be busy in the holidays.
Cosy spaces inside or ocean views outside

Beautiful spot. Lovely use of the wharf building. The menu was simple, and the food delicious. Turkish bread toasties, breakfasts bowls, lots of pastries. The staff were very friendly.

Friendly staff, good service, delicious juices and smoothies, we ordered the toasted paninis. So delicious and well presented. Relaxing vibe by the ocean in an historic wharf setting

Do not miss this place! Tucked out of the way, easily missed. Great location, good food and coffee, very nice local artisans gallery and baked goods.

I went to the Wharf restaurant at Tathra yesterday for lunch. It was amazing. Food was delicious. The sparkling apple juice was lovely. They also have lost of goodies to purchase. I bought Rocky Road and nougat. Would you believe they have Rocky Road coffee to purchase. Well worth a visit. Run by two sisters.
