The Shop

A teeny tiny slice of Melbourne in Sydney, The Shop is a hole in the wall haven hidden in the rickety backstreets of Bondi. Away from the hustle and bustle where the tourists roam and the untold Bondi story is awaiting to be told. This is a quieter and more relaxed side of Bondi, which is nice to experience. A mix of local arty folk, cruisy but cool dressed beachy gals is the style but basically anything goes in Bondi as you will learn! This is a cosy cafe by day serving breakfast muesli trifles, BLT's on super soft bread, lush sandwiches filled with poached chicken or hams are partnered with a selection of jams, pickles and cheese's. A comforting spot to frequent alone or in company for their award winning sanga's. By mid afternoon through to the night this tiny dot turns into a svelte wine bar with a tantalising selection of wines written up on an over sized wall mirror. Rich Burgundy and wood make this cafe/wine bar a cosy and warm place to rest your legs and catch up with friends or your lover...
 If you are indulging the cheese plate to share has a little bit of everything; soft creamy brie, quince paste, aged Cheddar served alongside crisp crackers and toasted bread soaked in olive oil. A perfect Friday night accompaniment to a vino to bring in the weekend.
