Andrew Carter’s marine cafe is a seaside paradise.
The Lookout Cafe hovers beside the Elizabeth Bay beach, providing comfort and relaxation for all its patrons.
The Lookout Cafe provides brilliant coffee, and perfect panoramic seaside views. Patrons sit on sun-drenched rustic timber while eating and drinking on wooden tables and gazing at the bay.
Ferries, boats and water taxis float by as you enjoy the items off of the Lookout Cafe’s splendid menu. The ambiance and sparkling blue water make it nearly impossible to not be mesmerized.
A Perfect Spot For Boat Enthusiasts
The Elizabeth Bay Marina offers berths for docking and moorings seven days a week. The berths offer power, water, and refueling stations. While you’re doing that you can hop on over to The Lookout Cafe, and enjoy some homemade artisanal coffee and some signature dishes for takeaway.
The same offer goes for those in need of a slipway. The Balmain Marina has one of the last slipways on the Sydney Harbour. If you’re in need of any repairs, The Lookout Cafe is your destination to kill some time and enjoy the view.
Even if you aren’t in need of any services, the Lookout Cafe is perfect for boat lovers who enjoy watching the boats roll along the bay, as they enjoy a cup of coffee and a meal.
A Simple Yet Delightful Menu
The Lookout serves Mecca and Sample coffee for all of its patrons. For those who are eating in, they will enjoy their cup of brew in Melbourne’s Claystone Pottery Mugs.
Andrew Carter’s seaside escape offers a splendid menu of handpicked foods that he himself loves. These foods include corn fritters with whipped avocado, hotcakes with piquant raspberry jam, and pancakes with a wonderful cornbread feel.
They also offer a breakfast/lunch combo that’s not to be missed. You have a choice of coconut flour pancakes with pineapple and jam, as well as fennel sausages with fresh zucchini.
If you’re not a coffee lover, you can enjoy a nice cup of authentic Belgian hot chocolate made from pure Callebaut block chocolate. No syrup or sugar-filled cocoa powder here.
For those members of a sailing club, or those in need of berths, or mooring, The Lookout Cafe will fill you up with artisanal coffee, delicious homemade comfort food, and the bay breeze.
The Lookout Cafe’s Journey
Andrew Carter’s Lookout Cafe didn’t come to be without going through a rigorous process. Updating the century-old Elizabeth Bay Marina was part of a large NSW government project. On that list was, of course, the Lookout Cafe as well.
With over 70 cafe applicants, Mr. Carter got the deal. He was a part of the team behind Heritage Coffee Brewers and Bean Drinking. This experience led him to fulfill his vision for the Lookout Cafe, which is now a staple of the bay.
The goal was to create a beachside kiosk, but add better seating options with an open-plan kitchen. Since it’s opening, it’s safe to say that Andrew’s vision has come true.
Andrew Carter’s love for Sydney and coffee has created one of Sydney’s top 20 cafes. Within its first five months of being open, it garnered several accolades. With word of mouth and its brilliant location, the Lookout Cafe is the place to visit.
This cafe isn’t just on the edge of the water, it sits on top of it. Patrons can feel the gentle waves underneath them, and they agree it’s relaxation at its finest.
Be A Part Of Something Special
Beyond the Lookout Cafe is a 270-degree diorama that pans out over the harbor. Yachts are sailing, and ferries cost across the sparkling water.
Boaters are able to use the boat parking and repair at their disposal, as well as berths and mooring for boat storage.
The sun is shining, the waves roll gently beneath docks. The air is fresh, and the menu is perfect. Real Estate Agents are right when they say it’s all about location.
Many different places offer coffee and a bite to eat. But how many places offer an unparalleled view of Sydney Harbor and one of a kind comfort cuisine?
