If you’re visiting the Blue Mile then you’re going to need to stop in at Nonabel Coffee Lounge and Takeaway for a lunchtime experience that’s just as beautiful as the sights you’ll be seeing later on. Specialising in a variety of fresh seafood selections, you really can’t look past the fried and grilled prawns with crispy chips and salad. Why should the first class views stop because you’re having a feed? At Nonabel Coffee Lounge and Takeaway you can dine alfresco while overlooking the harbour with a glass of wine in hand and a first class meal in front of you. With such a great location, the great tasting food and friendly staff will feel like an added bonus.

Do you like to exercise with friends? What better way to start your day than with a picturesque walk along the boardwalk followed by delicious cup of coffee. Connie’s Cliff Road Cafe is situated adjacent to the Blue Mile itself and is the perfect place to refuel after you’ve burned a bit of energy. Restore those lost proteins and carbs with a cheesy bacon, Hawaiian melt with salad which is sure to hit the spot. Otherwise, if you’re craving a sugar hit the banana bread with ricotta, mixed berries, honey and topped with icing sugar will satisfy that sweet tooth. Whatever you do be sure to order a creamy cappuccino to go alongside your breakfast meal for the perfect start to your day.

After you’ve discovered the beauty of the Blue Mile, head down to the nearby Wollongong CBD for delectable cafe style food experience at Cafe Adore. Is a $5 coffee and cake deal enough to get you excited? Take a seat at this cosy cafe and indulge in a little treat alongside a premium blend coffee. If you’re not a fan of caffeine, there’s also a delicious Cadbury white chocolate mocha available as an alternative. If it’s a bit later in the day and you’re after something more wholesome, we suggest the lamb souvlaki wraps with salad that are to die for. Otherwise, there’s a range of other meals available on their ever-changing specials board. Since you’re in the area, why not grab a takeaway latte and head to Wollongong Central for some retail therapy to top off a great day.
