The Little Nel
Cafe
👍👍 Great cafe that is just perfect on a sunny day when you can sit outside, but if not, the whole menu is available as takeaway. Dog friendly so you can bring your fur friends with you as well. Food is tasty, coffee is good and the bacon and egg roll for breakfast will make sure that you can go through...

The staff are very inviting and friendly.
The coffee was top class.

Woolworths Nelson Bay
Supermarket
👍 Nice large supermarket, keeps all you need except a little restricted in the bakery dept. Usually lean and they have a great little area for their marked down chilled goods, get some real bargains. Staff at deli very friendly and attentive.

Longboat Cafe
Cafe
👍👍 Great Cafe near the beach. Food was good and fresh. Only thing is that if you sit outside there are birds that fly around trying to get into the sugar satchel. So if you are scared of birds don't sit outside

Bay Harbour Cafe
Cafe
😠 Not the best fish and chips in NSW. The owner is very confrontational, while I was get the order he was having a go at some scuba divers walking to a dive site. I would say they will not be customers. I don't think he owns the public path. Will not stop there again.

Ridiculous other requirements/restrictions like min $20 on EFTPOS when it’s an ice cream store, or I witnessed them charge a parent an extra $1 for another cardboard cup. Staff were pretty rude an...

Nigronis
Italian restaurant
🫤 The food here is mediocre at best, and the experience is quite similar.
Things to note:
There is no reception within the restaurant so there is no means to identify what many of these dishes are. As such I'd recommend you research the dish you would like beforehand.
The wait is close to an hour, m...
