About The Tramshed Cafe Narrabeen

Perched beside Narrabeen Lagoon, this breezy waterside hub balances kitchen craft with an authentic 1950s tram carriage. Settle indoors, nab an outdoor table beside the fenced playground, or take your flat white straight into the vintage green-and-cream carriage. It serves as an easy pitstop for loop-track cyclists, parents needing relaxed breathing room, and locals chasing elevated breakky plates. The kitchen steps well beyond routine cafe fare—anchored by the Tram Smash with chili oil and whipped feta, crisp potato rosti served with poached eggs, and house pancakes.

  • Vintage tram seating: Diners can carry takeaway breakfast and coffee directly into an authentic restored 1950s tram carriage parked outside.
  • Lagoon trail and playground setting: Steps from the fenced children's play area and the scenic 8km Narrabeen Lake loop track, with easy nearby parking.
  • Elevated brunch classics: Crowd favorites include the signature Tram Smash with whipped feta and chili oil, alongside house-crisped potato rosti.

  • Dine Inside a Restored Vintage Tram

    Visitors can dine inside an authentic 1950s antique tram carriage fitted with tables and booths for a one-of-a-kind breakfast experience.

    How wonderful, we were able to sit in a tram from the 1950s for breakky.

  • Potato Rosti

    The potato rosti is the best I’ve ever had, nice and crispy and topped with smashed avo and a perfectly poached egg with a tarragon hollandaise sauce and a generous side of mushrooms.

  • Tram Smash

    Oh my gosh the Tram Smash is hands down the best breakfast I’ve ever had! I want to go back for it again tomorrow that’s how good it was. You think smashed avo is pretty basic and the same everywhere? Not here, they take it up a notch with chilli oil and some sort of magical whipped feta…it’s incredible, trust me.

  • Pancakes

    I had the pancakes and they were very delicious and the rest of my group enjoyed their meal also.

    Nerine Cummins

  • Avo Chicken Melt

    5 stars for the simplistic yet so creative make of the Avo Chicken melt, which I can’t believe no other cafes around here have.

    The venue draws steady morning crowds, so expect a buzzing atmosphere during peak brunch hours or pair your visit with an early walk around the lake loop.

  • Parking & Transport Options
