Effies
Effies is a neighbourhood café and wine bar bringing good food, good drinks and even better company to Balgowlah. Located on Sydney Road, it’s the kind of local spot that works from morning right through to evening – whether you’re grabbing your morning coffee, meeting friends for brunch, stopping by for a drink or settling in for a relaxed night out.
By day, Effies serves up excellent coffee alongside a menu of unfussy, delicious breakfast and lunch favourites. Think chilli scrambled eggs, smashed avo, bacon and egg rolls, toasties and plenty of options made for lingering over with friends. It’s relaxed, welcoming and designed for those easy Northern Beaches catch-ups.
As evening arrives, Effies Nights turns the venue into a casual wine bar, with wines from Winona Wine, shareable snacks, good tunes and a laid-back atmosphere. There’s no need to dress up or make a big occasion of it – Effies is all about enjoying good food and drink with the people you like.
Open seven days, Effies is a genuine local all-rounder. Coffee in the morning, brunch with friends, an afternoon drink or a casual evening out – whatever the occasion, Effies makes it easy to eat, drink and stay awhile.
