The coffee is old school Italian at Hyper Hyper Coffee. Owners Rebecca Low and Philip Pulford roast fair trade (mostly organic) beans with cast iron equipment from the ’50s, then extract espresso shots on the coolest machines you’ve ever seen (’60s era La Faema, imported and repaired in-house) to create a full-bodied brew you genuinely cannot find anywhere else in NSW.

While you’re there, try a warm Portuguese tart from local neighbours Helen and Jo Camacho, or fuel up with a house-baked sausage roll at adjoining cafe Punch the Ploughman (owned by Rebecca’s sister, Juanita Low and partner Gary Fishwick, of the similarly excellent Fishwicks at Culburra Beach), which has plenty of rustic charm and outdoor seating.
