Swingbridge Cafe

Lovely café by the beach with decent food. There weren't enough seats for all the visitors, and no staff cleaned the messy tables. The wait for food was long, but the view made it tolerable.

Cafe at the beach. Best coffee I’ve had in Australia so far! Big breakfast was excellent with avocado and goat cheese and lots of bacon! It’s a small place and pretty much open air but it’s worth the trek if you’re in the area.

Absolutely delicious breakfast with a fabulous view of the Swing Bridge and the sea. Best coffee I’ve had since arriving Down Under. Friendly service, and did I mention the view?

SwingBridge Café is a hidden gem offering excellent value and a prime location. The awesome beach views make it the perfect spot to relax, away from the busy main strip. It’s casual yet charming, with a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The food and coffee are great, and the service is friendly. Definitely worth the detour for a laid-back, scenic experience!

We love coming here on our annual Lorne holiday. A simple cafe with beach views, super casual, great food and charming service. It’s well removed from other shops and traffic so a relaxed location too.

Swingbridge is the spot to go when you want a good cup of coffee. We visited a couple other cafes but they do not compete. Take a scenic walk along the beach and you’ll find them dog friendly and all. It was extremely busy when we went so we had to wait quite awhile for take away coffees.

4.5 out of 5 This cafe is a beauty. This was my fourth visit here. They’ve all been good and the cafe noticeably just keeps getting better and better. There are some genuinely innovative dishes on the menu here. And, those dishes are executed very very very well. Add very good coffee, the physical loveliness of the venue and terrific service and you’ve got a mighty cafe, one that’s as good as any highly regarded city establishment. Last year Very impressively run small cafe in an idyllic spot. I had the Field of dreams dish today. This has beautifully cooked mushrooms, onion and an egg on fried bread. This is a very pretty and well composed dish. Lovely flavours. Mushrooms cooked perfectly. My long black was super as well. One day earlier Just a coffee today with a local. Lovely sunny day. Sitting in the light breeze beside the estuary with the beach in view was blissful. The coffee was beautiful, the service divine from multiple servers. The meals coming out looked fantastic. The local says the owner is Argentinian and runs the place superbly. Everything here is well done. Punches well above its weight. Previous review, January 29 2017 Cute little cafe located, um, right beside a swing bridge. Gets very busy during the season. If you miss a table you can lounge on the grass. Coffee was very nice here. The barristas know their stuff. Service was terrific. Recommended.

I took my parents today. We loved the food, the coffee’s amazing and they feel relaxed after our Erskine Falls visit. Empanadas we loved, we ordered twice 🤭. Croissants are so fresh. Everything is perfect! We’ll come back again.
