About Cafe Positano

Positioned between Maroubra Junction and the surf, this sunny corner cafe turns out dialed-in espresso and Italian-accented breakfast plates. Counter service keeps things moving fast—handy for a quick midday refuel or grabbing pre-made bites on the run. Neighborhood regulars grab sidewalk tables out front with their dogs, lingering over rich cappuccinos, Sonoma sourdough, and fluffy ricotta gnocchi. For something sweet, order the kaya toast smeared thick with coconut-pandan jam alongside a short black.

  • Italian touches & specialty brunch: Pair espresso drinks with Italian-style breakfast plates, ricotta gnocchi, or kaya toast.
  • Sunny dog-friendly seating: Corner sidewalk tables on Maroubra Road welcome pups and offer a quiet sunlit perch.
  • Swift counter service: Quick counter ordering and ready-to-go options keep wait times minimal on lunch breaks.
