COFFEE! THE BEST IN TOWN
We know that you can seek out a good cup of coffee, locally, on the Surf Coast. We are spoilt for choice with a gathering of fine cafes plus we can boast our very own roastery in town. The team at LINKS have listed a few of their favourite spots to visit for a sit-in coffee with friends or on a busy day, the best choice to grab a good takeaway before an open inspection. When you make your sea change to the Surf Coast from the big smoke, you won’t miss the coffee! We can serve you the best cup of coffee you have ever had and more.
