​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must-Visit Waterfront Gem! ​I had a fantastic experience at Wharf Street Cafe and cannot recommend it enough. ​The food was top-notch—the Mushroom and Truffle Sourdough was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. We also had the BLAT, which was fresh and hit the spot perfectly. ​What really sets this place apart, though, is the hospitality. The service was great, and the team was incredibly accommodating with our special requests, making us feel right at home. It is also very dog-friendly, so it’s the perfect spot to bring your furry friend along while you enjoy the views. ​Great food, lovely people, and a very welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Sensational cafe. I travelled from Brisbane for this coffee and service. Rose, Jess and Sonny - thank you. Amazing coffee. Seriously, it was fantastic - haven’t had coffee that good and smooth in a long time. Will be back for sure. Enjoy the southern lights photo I took next door at Quayside last night. 5 stars! Highly recommended. Oh and the eggs Benny are to die for! Thank you team!

Lovely spot. We had a really nice meal here. The food was genuinely tasty and well-presented, and the view out to the water is absolutely gorgeous. Perfect for a relaxed lunch

Well priced great find. We’ve been coming to Nambucca for over 30yrs and didn’t know about this gem. Awesome location overlooking the river. A sweltering day but we caught the breeze nicely. Food was delicious and just the right portion size. Beautiful fish and chips, crumbed sweet fish, lovely fresh salad, a handful of chips, and a generous cheek of lemon. The nourish bowl was as you’d expect - fresh, tasty and just the right size. All complemented with a lovely wine. Service was good too - very helpful and accommodating. Great location, great food, good service, and a very reasonable price. We will be back!

Situated on waterfront. Indoor and outdoor seating. Good cafe for brekkie or lunch. Was not a busy day or time thurs, 12.00. Service efficient. Menu varied selection. I had chorizo open sandwich. I thought it was rather light and not fulfilling for a lunch meal. I expected more. Also had a chai latte. Okay not as tasty chai wise as others I've had. Pet friendly. Parking is free beside cafe in park area but I imagine on weekends or busy times car park will fill up quickly and no real street parking close due to location.

Walking in at 13:45 (15 minutes before they close) to ask if a. they were still serving lunch and b. They were pet friendly.. i was blown away when they said yes to both! The staff suggested a pet friendly table outside on the deck and offered to bring menus and take our orders once we were ready. Firstly, the customer service was exceptional, such warm and friendly staff and secondly the food was absolutely delicious. Thank you for your hospitality! We will definitely be back to try more from their menu!

Great spot with lovely friendly service and great views over the water. Just stopped for coffee (which was fab) but the food looked great! If we were staying longer in the area would definitely come back for food.
