Why it's worth checking out
Headquarters on Henley sits on Henley Beach Road at Henley Beach, on Adelaide's coast near the popular Henley Square and the beach. A much-loved cafe, it's earned an outstanding reputation — combining quality food and genuinely good coffee with a relaxed, welcoming setting near the beach, the kind of standout local that draws devoted regulars.
The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, excellent coffee and a relaxed atmosphere in a great Henley Beach location, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee or a casual catch-up near the sea. The relaxed, beachy mood of Henley pairs perfectly with a quality cafe, and the outstanding feedback speaks to a spot that's genuinely delighting its customers.
With a 4.8 rating from more than 170 reviews, it's clearly a real favourite. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular cafe gets busy on weekend mornings, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a great brunch and an excellent coffee near the beach, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Headquarters on Henley.
