WOW. Great place for brunch/breakfast. Food is amazing and delicious. Granola is the best I've ever had. My wife had the frittata. She loved it. Coffee was perfect. Have driven past this place so many times. Today we decided to eat breakfast here. So glad we did, the staff friendly and polite, the food is amazing & delicious, the vibe relaxed and a very friendly atmosphere. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommended if you want fresh, healthy and delicious food in the main street of Port Elliot. Will definitely return again. Kudos to all the staff and owners10/10

My favourite cafe in the world! I love the Kraut toastie, caramel slice and melting moments. Such a nice vibe indoors or upstairs or outside. All the cool people in town come here.

Beaches Café was such a little gem — I have no dietary requirements but I’m a picky eater— in saying that; being caught by suprise from the fresh, wholesome home modern food at prices that actually feel fair. Everything tastes vibrant, heck I had Vegemite and cheese on my croissant just to be painfully different. made with care, the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Great spot if you want plant-based meals, a morning coffee, or maybe a moment to yourselves with the pet…

My family had brunch here. I had the most amazing pumpkin soup with tumeric and Ginger. It was so good!! My family had a vegetarian toastie which was also good. Coffee was nice. There is plenty of seating inside and outside.

One of my fave little coffee spots. Perfect for after swim and walks, good coffee and healthy food options set in amongst a setting full of laid back, easy going beach vibes. Menu is not huge but we like that. Must point out that it’s more a vegetarian type food spot so if your looking for a hearty bacon and eggs type menu probs best to check out somewhere else.

One of the nicest brunches I’ve had in a long time. The coffee, the food, service and the seating could not be faulted. The Banana loaf with yoghurt is a must try.

Beaches is a very vegan style cafe that is great for coffees and brunch. love the way they have made the place look, especially the outdoor seating. Would be good to see them expand their menu.

Beaches was the second brunch spot visited in two days and was a highlight of the weekend. The vibe is relaxing and staff very friendly. Our group sat inside. The menu is on the smaller side, yet filled with ample choices. The pastries at the counter looked amazing too, if you wish to have a coffee and a small bite. Our group all ordered the Smashed Avo and eggs. The plates were picture perfect. I got mine gluten free, and the bread was nicely toasted. My companions bruschetta looked delicious. The serves were generous. The local sauerkraut that came with the meal was tasty, but my favourite part was definitely the toasted spice and sunflower seed sprinkle on the eggs. The poached eggs themselves were a little overdone for my preference. The yolks were a soft firm, instead of runny. All the eggs on our meals were cooked identically, so maybe that’s the café standard. The coffee was a highlight. Having had some pretty poor coffee elsewhere through the weekend, it was much savoured and enjoyed. I’ll definitely be back
