May 22, 2026"There is a special joy of a perfect bacon and egg roll. Thinking nothing of it, after a stop at the post office next door I figured I'd grab a quick coffee and bite to eat on my way back home, so I whipped into Grumpy Chef. Service was friendly, the wait for my food short. And the sandwich, my God, the sandwich. Just perfection. While it may seem like an easy meal, it made my day. I'll definitely be back for another sandwich - and even if it's not perfect, I'm sure it'll be great."

May 21, 2026"I absolutely love the Grumpy Chef. It is a weekend ritual treat after walking the dog down the beach or having a surf. I love the Anzac cookies with my coffee. Everything I have had to eat and drink is prepared and made so well. Thanks to the Grumpy staff."

Apr 28, 2026"I came across the cafe by accident and in a hurry to return to Sydney, so I ordered some food and coffees for takeaway. I had a sense of déjà vu when I saw one of the staff and tasted the bean and sweet corn burrito. All felt so familiar. Did a former cafe in Waverley 2024 (Cuppa Cafe?) relocate to become the Grumpy Chef in Woonona?"
