Son took me there the first as he has this for lunch weekly while working on site nearby. Bacon & egg burger is great. Coffee good too. Took hubby there after son also mentioned about their chicken burger. We went halves. To much for me to eat. Good service but busy.

Great cafe to go to, especially with the popular ones being so full. Found this gem and was blown away! Food portions are great, got so much bacon in my eggs Benny I could’ve made three more. Staff are great and prices are fair , definitely recommend.

Barrio Café Neighbourhood Espresso is a great local spot for a coffee run. I stopped by on my way to the beach and had a good takeaway flat white. The coffee, made with Adore Coffee's Dark Wolf roast, was smooth, though a bit pricey. The staff was very pleasant. I'd highly recommend it, especially since it's located next to an amazing butcher.

Great little Cafe on Christine Ave that consistently serves great food. Barrio breakfast and the savoury mince are great breakfast dishes. The works burger is one of the best I've had.

The best breakfast and burgers on the coast. Friendly service and a local feel. Value for money and the tastiest bacon you will ever eat. I recommend everybody to this place, and no one has regretted going since!

I've been here 3 times now, I found it by accident. Seriously, it's the best steak sandwich I've ever tasted! So so fresh. I savoured every bite. I couldn't help it, I bought the chicken avo wrap, as well to have for my lunch. Bloody superb!
