Diggies Kiama

Overview

The team behind Wollongong cafe favourite Diggies has opened a third cafe — and this one's a thong's throw from the spectacular Kiama Blowhole. Open daily from 7am–5pm, the coastal eatery is serving up brekkie favourites, fresh local seafood and cocktails to boot.

The 110-seat cafe, designed by Rebecca Riles of Roots & Wings Design, features pastel and earthy hues, heaps of hanging greenery, large windows and plenty of outdoor seating. You'll want to snag a spot here during the warmer months and dig into the likes of beer-battered flathead and chips, rolls stuffed with fresh king prawns and salmon croquettes with poached eggs and feta.

There are salads, too — including Vietnamese tofu, tomato and peach, and green goddess numbers — and for brekkie you'll find spirulina granola with coconut yoghurt and buttermilk pancakes, as well as yolky B&E rolls, eggs benedict and an avo smash with Meredith Dairy goat's cheese. The menu also caters to many dietary requirements, including vegan, paleo, gluten-free and dairy-free.

All of the aforementioned food is rounded out quite nicely by a cone of ice cream from The Pines Kiama or a couple of refreshing cocktails (if you're not making the two-hour drive back to Sydney after, of course). If you are, though, you'll find De Lorenzo coffees and fresh juices, too.
