Ciao Bella Collaroy

Inside Ciao Bella Collaroy

Ciao Bella Collaroy sits on Anzac Ave, serving as a cozy café, cake shop, and even a spot for restaurant supplies, blending everyday convenience with quality fare. The space feels like a genuine community hub, where locals drop in for a reliably good coffee, whether grabbing a $3 morning cup or settling in with a bacon, egg & cheese roll that’s become a weekend staple for some.

The café’s atmosphere leans towards casual and friendly—staff here know regulars by name, and the vibe is welcoming enough to feel like a second living room. It’s an ideal stop either before or after a walk in Collaroy’s dog park, tennis courts, or nearby golf course. Early mornings and weekends tend to be lively, with dog owners, local walkers, and coffee lovers making this part of their routine.

On the menu, simple but solid offerings like toast on either sourdough, Turkish raisin, or gluten-free bread accompany a range of sweets including banana bread, caramel slices, and various gluten-free treats — enough to satisfy different dietary needs, including vegan options. The mix of snacks and quick bites caters to both casual sit-downs and takeaways for those heading to the beach or a local stroll.

Its location supports convenience: a nearby bus stop makes it accessible for residents and visitors alike, adding to the community-centered feel. Whether you’re after a reliably good coffee crafted by baristas who clearly care, a quick bite with some vegetarian or gluten-free options, or just a spot to catch up with friends in a relaxed setting, Ciao Bella fits the bill without fuss.

Overall, this café works best for those who appreciate an easygoing place to pause in a neighborhood that encourages outdoor activity and social connection. It’s less about formal dining and more about feeling part of the local rhythm—perfect for early mornings, casual catch-ups, or dog-friendly visits.

The best coffee and baristas in the northern beaches in my opinion! Their coffee and bacon egg & cheese roll for $13 is the best part of my Saturday morning. Massive ups to Dave for creating such an awesome community environment and always providing the goods

Great coffee, exactly the way I like it every time. Delicious food with a great range of vegetarian, vegan & gluten-free options. Friendly welcoming staff. What more could we want? Great location across from the dog park, tennis court, golf course & a great walk. Bus stop is nearby too. As a local I’m glad I can go almost every day.

Tried out Ciao Bella in Collaroy for the first time and we loved it. Grabbed a couple of toasted sandwiches and coffees to go, both were spot on. The coffee was great, sandwiches were tasty, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Exactly what you want in a local café. Definitely coming back and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for good coffee and a solid bite.

The prettiest cafe on the Northern Beaches. Staff are friendly with a fun atmosphere. The food is absolutely delicious with excellent coffee and drinks and always lovely new food to try when I visit. Their Cakes are fantastic. My family have had many wonderful events with the cakes from this company which have made our occasions extra special. Thank you to Leanne and her team. See you for a coffee soon and pick up our next cake.

The baked potatoes are the best!! I had the Hawaiian and it was delicious. I’ll be back to try the other varieties
