Needs improvement

Ok I have to admit I went because of the view and that’s what you get
Maybe 3 stars are more accurate it wasn’t terrible. But honestly 7$ coffee that doesn’t taste great isn’t worth a lot of stars. They have clearly marked vegan and vegetarian options (4 vegan ones as far as I know), but haven’t tried so only commenting on coffee (1$ extra for vegan milk) coffee was a bit watered down - large flat white. But I am picky with coffee. View is beautiful though
Go for the view but probably won’t return because coffee wasn’t special or particularly good

Lots of vegan options are now gone

Update Nov 2023: their menu no longer labels the vegan options, and many of them have disappeared. For example, they no longer have vegan pancakes.

--------------
We've eaten here plenty of times for breakfast. Really great location and lovely atmosphere being right next to Bondi beach. Love all the vegan options, and appreciate the presentation of the food. Would recommend the vegan pancakes if it's your first time :-)

Pros: Good view if you can sit facing the beach

Cons: Many vegan options have disappeared , Very busy, might need to line up for a table

Not great anymore...

Vegan and vegetarian options are very few. Yes presentation is good but the prices are expensive and there's nothing special about the taste. It's disappointing

Cons: Little plant based options , Expensive

Good food with good view

I really enjoyed the food here, such an adorable place with really friendly personal! Although the menu didn't show what food is vegan or not, the really helped with the choice!

Very few vegan options left😒

Unfortunately, some of the items that used to be vegan aren’t anymore.

Had their falafel burger - not impressed. Expensive and just nothing special.
Their peanut butter smoothie was delicious though!

Friend had an acai bowl and it looked nice.

Wouldn’t go again though.

Pros: Lovely spot

Cons: Expensive , Not many vegan options

so-so

Not as good as they once were.
I ordered the pancakes and unfortunately nothing too special. Most of the fruit on the plate still had its rind. Did look very pretty or make the fruit practical to eat. At $25 a serve, I felt all I was paying for was the view of the beach.

Side note they use Vittoria coffee. It was big in 2005-2010. Then most cafes dropped it for some what local/specialty coffee.
These guys still use Vittoria. Nothing wrong, although makes a bland coffee in my opinion.

I just feel this place could really step up its game.

Cons: Expensive

Should go once

The food in the Speedos Cafe looks so cool but is pretty hard to eat. At all is the food tasty but nothing special so my advice go once for sure and then decide by yourself if you wanna go more times.

Milkshakes and donuts

They made us non-dairy milkshakes on request which were huge and very tasty.
The glass cabinet had a selection of vegan cakes. We went for the chocolate donut which was more like a dense cake but absolutely amazing!

Great view

Cute spot for a bite to eat. Coffee and food expensive due to its central location I suppose. Pancakes were nice, nothing mind blowing but presentation was pretty. Got a side of coyo and it was a nice addition.

Pros: Right near Bondi beach, Vegan pancakes

Cons: Price, Very busy

So many awesome vegan options!

Love the food here, so many options - the pancakes are amazing! Also had the pitaya bowl which was decent, but probably better in summer when the fruit is in season (had it in the middle of winter).

Pros: Pancakes are amazing , So pretty

Good food but not worth the hype

We went to Speedo`s because of the big hype on Instagram. When we stood outside and looked at the menu on the big board hanging on the wall, we thought the prices are okay for vegan food in Australia. So we went in. We got the menu handed and we were shocked because the prices were much higher than on the board. That was not cool.
We decided to share the pink pittaya bowl and the vegan burger. It was really delicious and the food was prepared very fast but in my opinion it`s not better than in other vegan restaurants but much more expensive.
But the view over Bondi Beach is amazing!

Pros: view over Bondi Beach, food is ready very fast

Cons: prices actually higher than listed on the board

tasty and well presented food.

It’s clear the chef puts a lot of care into their meals as the presentation of all dishes I saw was excellent. The pancakes are indeed tasty, and they do a very smooth soy latte. There was a good variety of choice. Great location just moments from the beach.

Pros: great location, beautiful food

Best vegan pancakes in town

The (all day) vegan pancakes are delicious. Stacked high, dripping with maple syrup and lots of fresh fruit.
Coffee is great too!
It does get busy on the weekend but it's worth the wait.

There are more vegan options on the menu and vegan options are clearly labelled.

Pros: Lots of fresh fruit served with vegan pancakes, Great view of Bondi , Vegan options clearly labelled on menu

Cons: Can take a while to get a table, On the expensive side

A must try!

I highly recommend trying out Speedos cafe in North Bondi. They have an awesome range of vegan, vegetarian and dairy free options for breakfast and lunch. It is right near the beach and has a great atmosphere.
They clearly label their menu with #vegan #veganoption #vegetarian or #dairyfree so you will know exactly what to order.
The pink pittaya bowl is to die for :)

Pros: Great atmosphere , Suburb location, Friendly staff

Cons: It has meat options , Can get quite busy
