Surfside Snax is widely praised for its stunning ocean views and relaxed beachside atmosphere, making it a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. Customers appreciate the quality of the food and beverages, particularly highlighting the coffee and casual menu items like burgers and snacks. The friendly and efficient service further enhances the experience. However, recurring feedback notes the cafe's strong reliance on good weather, as there is no indoor seating and limited undercover areas, which can be challenging during rain or windy conditions. Ample outdoor seating and informal spots like bean bags create a welcoming environment when the weather permits, solidifying Surfside Snax as a favored destination for a casual seaside break.

This is an excellent little cafe in an awesome spot.But, It is very weather dependant as there is no real undercover area. There are some sun umbrellas, but these do little in the event of rain and can not be used in high winds.However, if it is a nice day this place is one of the best to sit and watch the ocean whilst drinking your coffee and snacking on hot chips.Te staff is professional and lovely to deal with.Prices are not too high.

I was pleasantly surprised by this little place because it offers food, drinks, muffins, cookies and ice creams all in one little place. There’s plenty of chairs in the front, sides and behind the cafe. There is no indoor seating and no indoors. There’s even bean bags on the grass nearby, though a sign asks you to not let your dogs on them! It’s a good weather place because there’s no real cover, so don’t go in the rain.It was a warm winter day with a nice breeze so we sat toward the side in the sunshine with a great view of the beach and watched for whales while our drinks, hot chocolate, macchiato and cappuccino, came. It did not take long even though it was very busy during the school holidays. Our fish and chips x 3 took a little longer but was fresh and delicious. When I asked if there was any lemon or tartare it was quickly brought at no charge for all three of us in individual portions on little serving plates.The staff were friendly and helpful.There are some wheelchair parking spots in the car park, but they were all taken on the day. Most of the parks were taken, but we managed to get one toward the bottom of the slope not too far from Snax. The slope is pronounced so power chairs or assistance would be best, otherwise a healthy strong person to push you is needed.You can look at the sea and whale watch while at the cafe.There is a toilet block painted with whales on the southern side and up another strong slope. We didn’t use it so I do not know if there are any wheelchair accessible toilets. A cement path winds around the headland allowing great views in all directions. You can see Soldiers Beach on the South and the Norah Head lighthouse on the North.There are a few seating benches to sit on and these were very popular the day we visited. Further up the hill is a small group of big rocks you can also sit on. You can also sit on the grass or picnic on the grass off the path. There are beaches on either side but they are down a huge steep slope or extensive wooden steps.There are gorgeous rocks and rock platforms to see and possibly explore at low tide. There were surfers trying to catch waves also. In fact it seemed very popular for surfers at Soldiers Point Beach on the South of the carpark.You can see the Soldiers Point Surf Life Saving club house to the south and it is a short drive away.

Lovely little shop by the beach with beautiful views and good pricing. Service was friendly. Fish and chips were delicious and came in a generous size for the price. Very nice place!

Great service. Excellent coffee. A view that's hard to beat ... together with the passing whales on their migration north. Rated and recommended!
