The Wharf Local
Highlights
- Savour ocean views while enjoying locally sourced dishes crafted by sisters Emma and Poppy Benton.
- Explore the art gallery showcasing the creative talents of Sapphire Coast locals during your visit.
- Indulge in a glass of bubbles or a delicious coffee as you watch whales offshore.
- Stroll along the sand after your meal, soaking in the charm of Tathra's historic wharf.
Set inside a cargo shed on Tathra’s historic wharf, this cafe comes with personality to spare. Run by sisters Emma and Poppy Benton, the establishment exudes country charm – but with a big-city twist.
The forward-thinking menu uses produce from local suppliers, Emma and Poppy’s close friends. Meanwhile, the space distracts with ocean views and an art gallery showcasing the creative talents of Sapphire Coast locals.
This is the kind of place where you could order a cake and coffee, or a glass of bubbles while watch whales offshore, buy a painting, and then walk along the sand back to your base. The ultimate all-rounder.
