Cafe 63
After a successful shopping trip to Domayne and Harvey Norman, we had a light lunch at Cafe63 just before Christmas. We were pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices. We ordered two toasted cheese, tomato, and onion sandwiches along with two coffees, all for less than 25 pesos. This was a great deal, especially considering the current high prices in Australia. The sandwiches were delicious, and the coffee was just the way I like it – nice and bitter.
Cafe63 is a spacious and relaxed place, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, making it an ideal spot for dining any time of the year.
The service from the staff was fast, efficient, and polite. Additionally, the Homemaker Centre offers clean and well-maintained toilets just outside the café.
However, the parking situation is a downside. While the centre provides two hours of free parking, it becomes expensive after that. This can be inconvenient, especially after a shopping trip for larger household items like fridges, washing machines etc, which take time. Finding free street parking nearby can be a challenge.
Overall, Cafe63 is a great place to relax and enjoy a meal, but the parking situation may require some planning.

Coles Local Rose Bay
This sleek, modern and attractive new “Coles Local” Supermarket is a big improvement on the old store. There’s a great range of fresh produce and ready to eat meals, in addition to all the regular staples and favourites.
The aisles are wide, so it’s easy to move around, and the strong lighting and clear markings make it a breeze to quickly find what you’re looking for. Just outside the store is a convenient hand sanitising station, with hand sanitiser and paper towels; an essential item in this new Covid world.
Staff are polite, friendly and efficient. They make you feel appreciated and valued as a customer at Coles and will go out of their way to help you. A special thank you to the ladies working at the deli counter, who always have a warm smile on their faces. They’re attentive and eager to please; a credit to the Coles brand.
But the best thing I like about this Coles is the new “Tap & Go” coffee machine at the front as you enter the store. What a brilliant idea, to be able to enjoy a cuppa before or after the business end of your visit. For the modest price of $2 for a regular size, or $2.5 for a large, you get a cup of fresh, hot, high quality coffee with old fashioned, creamy dairy milk. For an extra 50c, you can choose to have almond or soy milk. It’s easy to operate, with clear, simple instructions prominently displayed in the centre of the machine, just above the cups. It only takes cards. You simply select your option, (regular milk on the left, almond or soy on the right) then tap your card on the reader. Once your payment is approved, press the “start product” button and in a few seconds you’ll have a beautiful cup of coffee. Perfect for those chilly winter mornings. Sugar, teaspoons, lids and serviettes are all available underneath the machine. The only thing missing are a few chairs to sit down and enjoy it.
Thanks Coles for providing the residents of this area with such a great new shopping experience and also for preserving this beautiful historic art deco building.
