The Shop and Wine Bar
Editorial
In a former life this adorable little beach haunt was a daytime-only coffee shop serving out indescribably good caffeine hits to the beautiful beach bums of Bondi's spectacular surrounds. All retro ruby-red flock wallpaper and kooky, kitsch charm, there's not much not to like about this place, even if it is absolutely miniscule and requires serious patience or aggressive shoulder barging to grab a table.
Well, thankfully it still serves up the java bean, but has extended its hours in order to morph into a miniature wine bar of an evening. And we couldn't be more chuffed, frankly. The mellow morning vibe blends with ease and appropriate charm into a wonderful spot to spend an evening with good friends, cheese and decent if uninspired Australian and Kiwi wines. It's more about the friendly, funny charm here - oh, and the affordable prices. They do half bottles, and tapas-style tasty bites are on hand to wash down the booze... as long as you can get in.

I love this place. Their coffees and sandwiches are awesome... and the wine list is great. The staff are fab... really friendly and provide great service - something you don't always get in Bondi :-)
