BEST BEACHSIDE CAFÉ: Gertrude and Alice
It’s hardly fair a suburb blessed with surf, sand and buffed bodies could also house this quirky gem of a cafe. Intellectual but never pretentious, Gertrude and Alice is part salon, part bookstore and absolutely one of a kind. Sip the bookstore-cum-café’s famous chai while you browse the eclectic selection of second-hand books or perhaps catch one of the regular authors’ events. (Danielle Bevins-Sundvall)
