Why it's worth checking out
Sunnyside Cafe sits on the Esplanade at Henley Beach, right by the foreshore in one of Adelaide's most popular seaside suburbs. A relaxed beachfront cafe, it makes the most of its setting — combining quality coffee and casual fare with lovely views over the sand and the gulf, near the lively Henley Square.
The appeal is that combination of good food, good coffee and an unbeatable beachfront location, ideal for a morning coffee, a leisurely brunch or a casual bite with an ocean view. With the beach, the jetty and the buzz of Henley Square right there, it's a lovely spot to settle in and enjoy the seaside.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 600 reviews, it's clearly delighting its visitors. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular beachfront cafe gets busy on weekend mornings and warm days, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a coffee and a casual bite by the beach, it's often just a matter of dropping in and enjoying the Henley Beach surrounds.
