La Loca Cafe in New South Wales

"Once you enter this cafe you realize the amazing energy there. It’s the best spot in northern beaches. You can have a delightful view of freshwater and very pleasant conversation in a calm atmosphere. The owner Nick is very welcoming and the staff is always smiling and up to help. I highly recommend the carrot cake and the coffee is served at it best and very fast."

"The service is quite fast. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the portions, we ordered a cheese and mushroom toastie and a pesto avocado with feta for food, a coffee and a soda water. Both sandwiches were nice and the location has a good vibe. We could see a lot of locals like the place. You only have to keep an eye on the birds though, they are quite cheeky and know when to try and grab a bite of whatever you are eating. It was quite funny seeing them in action, if you were not paying attention to your food they were on it immediately . We are going to go back since they have nice areas to sit if the day is sunny. They have few small tables in the shady side and a big table on the side if you are going with a big group. This cafe is just upstairs from freshie so it’s quite convenient for an after win bite. Parking available on the street."

"Fabulous. Coffee is first class and the location to match. Service is friendly, professional and welcoming. Great seating area Street side the best to chill to enjoy your coffee and watch the world go by. Great food options too. Ham and Cheese Croissant a ripper. Highly recommended."

"Very friendly and chill Coffee Shop. Cute Outdoor seating. People working there were really friendly. They put real grated chocolate on your Cappuccino!"

"Had a top 10 experience at this lovely coffee spot. Had me a beautiful muffin and a coffee after a lovely swim at Manley. Would recommend this spot. There is also a beautiful view of the beach below just outside the restaurant."

"Never too early for an empanada. Great to find a place that makes them properly. Great service and coffee."

"A beautiful spot with incredible service and tasty treats."

"Highly recommend a visit to this hidden gem! A large group of us stopped off here whilst exploring the area. We were warmly welcomed and immediately loved the friendly and chilled vibe! We ordered a range of food including the best toasted sandwiches by kids said they have ever eaten! and my smashed avocado on toast with homemade pesto, feta and tomatoes was absolutely delicious! The coffee drinkers amongst us were also highly impressed with the quality of the coffee and the banana smoothies are well worth a try too! Everything is so reasonably priced and nothing was too much trouble. Really worth a visit."
