Bondi can have a bit of reputation for pretension. But you won't get any of that kind of BS at bRU Coffee. What you will get, however, is a few laughs and a killer coffee. Serving out of a hole-in-the-wall in North Bondi, this unassuming joint is all about what matters in life: doing things well, doing things right and enjoying yourself along the way. Especially when the sun's shining.

You can grab an Allpress and hotfoot it to Sam Fiszman Park or you can hang about and get to know the friendly, occasionally eccentric regulars. On top of coffee, there are cold-pressed juices and powerhouse smoothies packed with protein and green goodness, as well as a solid brekkie and brunch menu. A generous brekkie bowl is hard to go past, crowded with fruit salad, yoghurt, granola and acai. And then there are all the classics, from croissants and banana bread to the green eggs: a dish of boiled egg, spinach, avocado, pesto, green tomato and chutney.
