Wollongong is not just a coastal paradise; it's also a hub for coffee and food lovers.

With a thriving culinary scene, this seaside city boasts a plethora of delectable options for both caffeine connoisseurs and food enthusiasts. From cosy cafes to gourmet eateries, here are the top four spots to experience the best coffee (and food) in Wollongong.

  • Lili.J Cafe – Originally a florist, the crew transformed this abandoned building on Wollongong's Corrimal Street into a welcoming space where you can not only savour exceptional coffee but also choose from a rotating selection of different coffee roasters featured each week.
  • Black Market Thirroul – This coffee spot features a glass enclosure at the rear to showcase their five-kilogram Renegade coffee roaster. Black Market prioritises delicious coffee and a mouthwatering menu full of local favourites.
