A walking, talking paradox, The Glass Onion somehow manages to blend city chic with coastal casual. This espresso bar and cafe put the quirky suburb of Long Jetty on the map, since its conception in 2011. Known as the ‘Newtown’ of the beachside region, Long Jetty is now a treasure trove of vintage shopping, top-notch food and some of the best coffee you’ll find coast-side. The Glass Onion is very #Instagrammable with fabulous interiors, comfy couches and cozy nooks. And what could be more Insta-worthy than taking your four-legged caffeine fiend out for brunch! Dogs are more than welcome in the outdoor seating area – just be sure to keep them on a lead, as the Onion is right on the intersection of a busy main road.

The menu is diverse and ever-changing, with organic, local produce at the forefront. Try the twice-cooked pork belly with Asian greens and chilli caramel soy, or the rosemary lamb skewers with quinoa tabouleh. If your tastes are a little more simple, don’t despair – the smoked salmon smashed avo, bacon and egg rolls, and house beans and potato hash are sure to do the trick. Plus, the drinks menu doesn’t disappoint, with everything from organic, fair-trade tea to fresh juice to tasty, tangy elixirs for those mornings where you need a pick-me-up. They’re open 7am to 3pm.
