Cafe Rafaele

What an unassuming spot in Coogee! We walked in as a group for brunch and loved the experience. The service was nice, the setting was chill and the food was delicious. Definitely recommend for those who are looking for a good, quieter spot in Coogee.

I found the staff really friendly and welcoming. I just got a simple baguette that was pre-prepared & it was delicious, heated up perfectly. I look forward to trying something on the menu.

Came here on a Sunday with my wife and 1yo. Just tucked away far enough from the main beach and thoroughfare that it was not too busy or loud, might be different in a weekday though? We ordered some bevvies, a salmon bagel the ham and egg thingy. Both tasty as. Got a coffee to go for the drive ahead and it was really good too. Service was good, staff were friendly. Would definitely come back again.

been here a lot of times for the croque monsieur, absolutely loved it. however would not recommend the burger.

Cafe Rafaele is a quaint little cafe with great coffee and bistro style french food. I would recommend the Fish du Jour, super tender poached salmon topped with a zingy and fresh cucumber, fennel, rocket salad. It’s a bit more on the pricey side, but well worth it as the quality of food shows for it. Definitely would recommend and would come back to try their croque monsieur and steak frites.

What an absolute gem at Coogee beach. French inspired and absolutely delicious. Great coffee and the food has a care and authenticity to it, which is very tough to find. Here's a tip, try the lemon and sugar crepes.. Excellent staff and can't wait to come back!

Have often been here for brunch and the food is always fantastic, my favourite is the mushrooms on schiacciatta with the amazing porcini mayo/sauce. We tried dinner for the first time and had the delicious steak frites, the miso butter is a wonderful addition, highly recommend! Update July 2025: We've just been back for the $50 3 course set menu, with our newborn baby. The waitress was lovely and we felt so comfortable, no one got annoyed when our bub made a bit of noise. The kitchen staff were very accommodating and we think it's great deal for $50 (raddicchio, blue cheese and pear salad, steak frites and crepes Suzette) Lovely place, nice atmosphere on a cold winter's night and friendly staff.

Lovely low-key brunch for my Dad’s birthday. The food (and coffee) tastes even better than it looks! Perfect local cafe vibe.
