Well...I went twice and found the staff professional and friendly. The environment inside was inviting and relaxed. First visit, I ordered savoury mince. Im user to having it all in one pile but this was served wirh mince and egg in a small cast-iron pot with toast on side. Nice touch and yummy. I did note that they had lobster on thr menu....but I chickened out and didn't order it. However, 2nd visit...after I had breakfast at anothet Cafe (should've just came here!)...I needed to get the lobster roll. Being from the NE of the US (not as far as Mass or Maine)..I haven't had one in ages. Did the roll as takeaway. I was so excited...got back to hotel.. opened the box and there it was...a soft roll, filled with lobster meat. Done and delicious!
So to conclude....great staff, great food! I'll be back next time in Coffs! Well done!
Oh and the coffee is hot and yummy!!! read less

Ernie gave us personal service and even though what I wanted wasn't on the menu he was happy to serve us our choice. We also noticed his care and attention to other customers on other tables too. Great coffee blend too! read less

Coffee was delicious, a HUGE relief from the McDonald's coffees we've had to endure on our trip! When the food came out we were blown away, with my sister being pregnant they totally catered to her needs, it's nice when you can mention "I'm pregnant" and the staff completely take over :) Great service and beautiful food! the pancakes were super fluffy!! The haloumi chips were delicious and my sister's Fritters were light and fresh! I think our favourite side was the Hash Browns!! All in all a great place to stop for brekky, the cafe has a great atmosphere and the music sets the vibe for comfortability when you arrive.
Thank you Ernie and thank you Kitchen and FOH, we had such a beautiful couple days in Coffs and ending it with you guys for breakfast just topped it all off :) Thank you again! read less

The best pancake I have ever The best pancake I have ever had! The gourmet version of the bacon and egg roll was also amazing. Lovely staff.

The staff are sooooo well trained and their attention to detail is excellent. Ernie oversees their every move and what you get is service of a kind rarely seen in Coffs Harbour.
Presentation is paramount and you can really see what they are trying to achieve in every detail from napkins on hot surfaces to beautiful glassware and cutlery.
To supplement all this, the food is excellent. We had the garlic prawns for entree and they were the best I've ever had. Plump and tasty and perfectly cooked. We followed this with risotto and my partner had the steak. Perfectly cooked with baked vegetables bursting with flavor.
The setting is lovely and has indoor and outdoor dining. The amenities are clean and huge.
It's not cheap to dine at Ernie's but the experience is delightful. read less

Delicious Great service, very fast food, perfect poached eggs, cheesecake was to die for -so light. Highly recommended.

Love this Place This is one of the hidden gems in Coffs Harbour. Wonderful atmosphere, excellent food and the service is warm & friendly. Also many Gluten Free options.

Excellent vegan options Very welcoming and friendly service, great food with excellent vegan options. Ernie is an absolute gem, thanks for a great lunch.

A must visit for breakfast Wonderful atmosphere for breakfast. Friendly service and food cooked and presented to perfection. Coffee was awesome too.
