Café’s come and go with the seasons in Bondi but I’m hoping the newish Ginger Blue Café sticks around for awhile. Located just behind the Bondi Hotel on Curlewis Street, this cute little café offers scrummy fresh food at fairly reasonable prices, well for Bondi anyway. Sandwiches for less than $ 10 and salads for $ 12.50, both of which are significantly less than you’d pay a block away in the more heavily trafficked café strips. Ginger Blue offers a breakfast until 3pm along with a host of healthy meals for lunch and all the usual teas, coffees, breads and muffin selections. They make proper chai here(ie. not the packet stuff) which gets a big tick from me. The downside is there is no bathroom on site, which means trudging into the Bondi Hotel if you drink too much coffee. The upside is the cute and friendly staff.
