This place is a hidden gem! I stopped by this café not expecting much, but wow I was completely blown away. The coffee was perfectly balanced rich, smooth, and full of flavour without a hint of bitterness. You can tell they care about their beans and their craft.

Very pretty and lovely cafe in Caringbah. The food was amazing, we had Good Father Roll and Egg and Bacon roll. Really good!

Good coffee and selection of sweet treats, although a little overzealous on the packing for a takeaway small cake, I would’ve been happy with the paper bag only to save the plastic waste. Self-serve water is an excellent feature. Some dietary requirements catered for. Prompt and friendly service.

Anazing food, great price, nice coffee highly recommend. Big Breakfast was so good only downfall was the hollandaise had to much vinegar slightly too tangy, over powered everything once I poured it over the eggs.

Our favourite cafe in the Sutherland Shire!!! Great staff, all of their food is delicious and it’s a lovely welcoming atmosphere. Wonderful coffee every time. Don’t change a thing, it’s a perfect cafe

Port Hacking Café is a solid brunch spot in Caringbah with decent coffee and a wide-ranging menu, set in a welcoming and convenient location. The coffee was well made, with smooth milk and neat latte art. The flavour could have been a little stronger, but it was still enjoyable. The food menu covers all the Australian brunch classics, with generous variety and reasonable pricing. Dishes were nicely presented and came out looking fresh and appetising. The décor is tasteful with plenty of seating, including a row of window tables that are especially nice. There is also limited outdoor seating, which is preferable as the cooking smells indoors can be quite strong. Located on the high street but just outside the busiest part of Caringbah, it’s easy to get to and free street parking is close by. A good option for families, with kids’ meals available and highchairs provided. Overall, I’d happily return for brunch and coffee, especially if I can grab a seat by the windows or outside.
