Driftwood at Terrigal is one of the best. It's your typical beach style cafe with modern Australian cuisine. The food is amazing with a wide range for all dietary needs (including vegetarian). The drinks are also of high quality with great coffee and even better smoothies. The service is good and prompt. The costs are low and the food is great! Definitely recommend going there.

At Terrigal Thai you pay for a meal that is cooked well, tastes great and is very cheap! The atmosphere is great - been here with both family and friends and it suits a large or small occasion. The staff is friendly and prompt. They also go out of their way to explain the meal choices and have recommendations which is very helpful. It's very close to the beach and other Terrigal attractions and a sweet end for a good day in the area!

I've had a myriad of things from Wambi Whoppers. Their burgers and random selections of salads are very good. Craving them just thinking about it! They are fairly busy and it is very loud to sit inside. Their general service is good - always in for a little chat to build up the friendly local atmosphere they have going. They have a vast range of drinks and items to choose from. It's the local lunch and treat shop! All over, a good place to stop for a quick lunch.

One of the Central Coast's best restaurants. GPK has a vast menu of delicious choices that always bring me back for more. It's not cheap, but very good quality for what you pay. The service is prompt, friendly and professional. They provide colouring books and raw dough for the kids to play with (always a plus in family gatherings). It's always busy so I recommend you sit outside where it is less noisy and heated. My personal preference is the New Orleans pizza - divine! Sometimes it's about a 10-20 minute wait for food, but given service and the taste it's definitely worth it!

Went to Sage for breakfast and found it lovely with a few exceptions. They didn't have some items on the menu despite the visit being early in the day without much customer traffic. The waitress was very nice about it and attempted to offer a solution but I ended up with strange items such as guacamole instead of avocado. Despite this, the food was nice. Eggs were cooked perfectly and the plate presentation was fabulous. The atmosphere is wonderful - it's in a great location with a good seating situation to look out over the hive. The selection of tea was incredibly good and I found myself trying new things. Perhaps a little more costly then you'd expect but still an overall great cafe.

Edgy yet classy vibe. Great value for your meal. I've ordered in and take away at the establishment and found continuity, great taste and excellent service. Preparation time was prompt, the waitstaff efficient and friendly. Always busy and yet no wavering in quality or time taken. Dining in is quite loud though the dim lighting creates great atmosphere. Surprisingly good value for food especially given the area. I had especially high hopes for this dining experience and was pleased. Highly recommend.

I don't even have enough words to explain how incredible this place's coffee is! Cute little shop and dining. Good sized drinks with great value. Their food is also amazing. I went there for breakfast and found myself admiring their assortments. The vegetarian selection was great - everything well cooked and tasty (not to mention affordable). The wait for food was a tad longer than expected but given the amount of people ordering and eating it was reasonable. Highly recommend their in house sweets too! Good for families (has a small box of toys and assortments for the kiddies). Excellent experience. I go there as often as I can!

I've been going to Darrons for years now and they never fail to impress. The food is fairly prompt given the fact they usually have at least 10 people waiting in the busy peaks. There is plenty of variety where the fish is always fresh and at some of the best prices on the coast. Great place to feed a big family for cheap. They are extraordinarily good at catering to my quirky meal choices (e.g. scallop roll) without any fuss. I've also found they always supplement your order with some extras (e.g. extra piece of fish or another scallop) which is just great customer service. Service is always polite and efficient. Definitely recommend going there for family night takeaway. There is seats outside but they are rarely available and close to the busy main road.

Went here for a much needed coffee kick in the afternoon. Place was fairly busy and yet the staff was very friendly. They actually knew my order (dirty chai) which was unusual and very welcome. Only had my card and they were kind enough to put it through despite their 10 dollar minimum card limit. Quick service - I barely had to wait 5 minutes. Great tasting coffee and chai. It has become my go to coffee shop at The Fair!

Good experience. Went there with my little nephew and found great service (they didn't even mind how long a 3 year old takes to decide which flavour he wants). Great range of flavours. Affordable. Great tasting - I personally tried the rainbow flavour. Well worth the trip.
