The Crabbe Hole - Bondi Beach, Sydney

The Crabbe Hole, situated inside the Bondi Icebergs Winter Swimming Club, offers robust coffees and simple breakfast and lunch options against the backdrop of iconic Bondi Icebergs pool and the ocean. When the weather permits, patrons can order at the counter and enjoy limited seating overlooking the breathtaking views, or choose indoor seating during windy conditions.
The menu is concise, featuring pastries and bread from Brickfields with homemade jam and Pepe Saya butter, granola, toasties, a Croque Madame, and seasonal salads. The coffee, known for its strength, includes a standard serving with a double espresso shot, using a house blend by Sydney-based Mothersky Coffee that features Australian-grown Arabica beans.

The café’s appeal lies in its million-dollar views, strong coffee, and gourmet treats. The space is small, but the offerings include a BLT and a special Crabbe Hole ice cream sandwich. With a $2 coffee option, The Crabbe Hole attracts a crowd of swimmers, surfers, and selfie-takers, creating a petite poolside café with a jaw-dropping ocean panorama. It’s an ideal spot for an early morning coffee fix and satisfying bites in a unique coastal setting.
