Cranky’s
Pretty decent coffee, and pretty decent food to accompany it.
The food here is spectacular: classic beachside cafe dishes (plus Mexican!) done really well. The coffee wasn’t quite so good, but I’d be willing to drink it again.
A nice spot for breakfast after a swim and snorkel. My cappuccino was too weak and milky for my taste but others enjoyed their flat whites and long blacks. The name obviously reflects the owners’ attitude towards life.

Macchiato was a little too milky, but this was still the best coffee I’ve had in Merimbula. Plus, it has a quiet comfortable seating area, and attached bookstore!
