The Hungry Monkey

Food was great coffe top notch! we went here twice and it is a very popular place understandably. Has an intentional understated low-key old school house vibe. Siting out on the walkway on old park bench tables in June wasn't the coziest of experiences but good spot to catch up with large groups over brunch.

Had their Single royale burger 8/10. Friend had hot cakes wasn't expecting to be extremely salty. Mistook the salt flakes to be coconut flakes. Mouth became extremely dry after hotcakes no sugar or syrup could save him. Had the flu shot and an aerated latte. Lovely service by staff!

Absolutely lovely cafe in Kiama, the staff were so welcoming. The food was delicious and coffee fantastic. Great surroundings and you kich even meet Steve the resident Magpie, Highly recommend 👌

Beyond the burgers, Hungry Monkey Kiama fuels your day with surprisingly great coffee and flavour-packed burritos. Don't sleep on their fritters either – a delicious and satisfying addition to their coastal offerings. The staff is as amazing as their food.

It’s been about eight years since I was last in Kiama and my first stop in town was The Hungry Monkey. This cafe consistently puts out fantastic food and unbeatable coffee. We stopped here for lunch after driving down from Sydney and I decided to get an oat flat white and the morning glory bowl with poached eggs. The bowl was fantastic and I felt a lot healthier after eating it. The coffee was top-notch. I’d recommend this cafe to anyone visiting Kiama.

We had the pleasure of working with The Hungry Monkey for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the initial planning stages to the service on our big day, everything was seamless and truly outstanding. The team was incredibly easy to work with, offering helpful suggestions and making sure every detail was taken care of. On the day of the wedding, the service was top-notch, and the food… wow! Our guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious everything was. From the canapés to the main courses, it was clear that The Hungry Monkey went above and beyond to make our celebration even more special. If you're looking for a catering service that combines excellent food with exceptional service, we highly recommend The Hungry Monkey. They made our wedding day unforgettable, and we’re so grateful for all their hard work!

Was down the coast over the easter long weekend and so glad we discovered this place. The young guy seating guests and taking orders in the outside area was very efficient and professional. Food was excellent and portions were appropriate. Will make a stop again the next time we are in the area and try the other dishes.

I ordered the burrito, and it was AMAZING. One of the best burritos I have ever had. Great options, great service, and in a great area of a really nice town. Great experience overall. I highly recommend.

The burgers are juicy, salad are fresh and sweet potato chips are addictive. They have a variety of burgers available, including vegetarian menu. The meat available for the burger includes beef, pork, chicken and lamb; they got it all! The seating can be indoor and outdoor. The place is quite crowded but is worth the wait. Tasty and really worth the wait.

Great Lunch stop, southern fried chicken burger was amazing . Yummy sweet potato fries. great coffee. Fast friendly service, busy but well organized. Highly recommended.

Awesome cafe in Kiama. If you are looking for a good cup of coffee and a surprisingly good breakfast then this is the place for you. The coffee here is quite good - the cold drip is amazing. And their milk coffee is good, although on the lighter side. Came here twice on a weekend away, and loved each time. Especially if you have a dog, then have a large outdoor sitting area. However, this place is extremely popular so you might have to wait if you want that table outside.

All of Kiama's hipsters and skaters and gym kids and anyone with a Mumford and Son style felt hat and a beard and active wear and cool sneakers and sleeveless shirts and shimmery hair all hotfoot it down to this little could-be-at-Bondi cafe for a dose of the good stuff in an environment that makes people-watching as fun as eating and/or drinking. On a cracking day the outside seats are where you wanna be, otherwise hunker down inside and order pretty much anything from the kick-ass menu, it's progressive enough that you'll never get bored with the usual brunchy type dishes you've had a thousand times, they kick things up to the Pepsi Max with meals like Muscle Pancakes made with protein and cacao nibs, chilli scrambled eggs, an Acai Detox bowl with kale and coconut water, and a shitload of awesome coffee and salads and, oh yes, burgers are a thing at lunch time and there's heaps to choose from and they're epic and that's all I have to say about that.

Always the best food and the best service !! The greeter is always so attentive and makes the whole experience amazing. Have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. I would recommend The Hungry Monkey to anyone, it's totally worth the drive !!!

We came across this cute little place on the mission to find something vegan in kiama for lunch. Yummy salads and beetroot burger(not vegan) Great atmosphere and very helpful staff would recommend to anyone heading this way yummy!

There are not a lot of places for a simple dinner in Kiama, so this place is popular. We ordered chicken and beef burger, and sweet potato chips. The food was good. They also have a good range of beers. The place was nice until a customer got inside and said there was a big spider. Well, the waiters seemed to panick, for crying outlound, this is Australia, spiders are norm. Without a word, a waiter started spraying insectide!!!!!!! With people eating inside!!!!! That was less than 5 feet away! Totally disappointed...

Food was lovely. We had bad boy burger and the rost veg salid service was quick. Considering how busy they where at the time. Thank you.

Cozy little spot down by the ocean great burgers and the service was fantastic. We had a great time I would thoroughly recommend.

Great customer service,spectacular food honestly a great experience for the family.would recommend visiting this restaurant you will not be disappointed. Btw order the "big boy" you will thank me later

Amazing burgers and fries, food fresh and delicious. Friendly and helpful staff and the coffee is no doubt the best you can get between Sydney and Jervis Bay, using White Horse coffee and single origin beans for black coffees. Spot on!

It had taken us two years and two visits to Australia to finally get to the Hungry Monkey. We had visited Kiama two years ago and stumbled upon THM, but had committed to the next door restaurant already. We knew that this time we wanted to make sure to get there. Of the four meals that we had in Kiama, three were at The Hungry Monkey. They were very welcoming and the food was fresh and delicious. The first morning, I had the purple toast with egg whites, and it was spectacular. My husband had the acai bowl, and my daughter the children's egg, bacon, and toast. We promptly went back for dinner, and then breakfast the next morning. Get there early, it fills up. They do their best to seat you where you'd like. We wanted to be outside, but it was full, so we opted for indoors on our second morning. It was just a bit too loud, and they moved us as soon as a table outside opened up. Very kind! Make sure to do yourself a favor and visit the Hungry Monkey and order the nutella mocha.

The food was good, great chicken wings but the price 3 wings for $10 and I'm sorry $20 for 6 wings was a bit much, great cider to go with it although I will try the coffee an breakfast next time and make the wings myself.

The food is ordinary and expensive. The Service is poor and staff appear unmotivated. No evidence of staff training or any customer care. Sad to see this substandard business in Kiama.

This place was great. My wife and I got a bowl of Acai. It looked so beautiful shimmering in the sunlight, I just wanted to look at it. But when the timing was right, I began eating the luscious fruits and berries. Thanks Hungry Monkey! My bowel movements have never been better.

Best burger and chips in town. This place is in one the terraces in Collins Street and is very popular for good reason. Great coffee too.
