The EDDY Cafe
by Toast
The Eddy is the new wild card from the team at Toast South Coast - a café built around good coffee, big flavour and not taking life too seriously.
Continuing their long-time collaboration with ONA roastery, really good coffee sets the foundations. From there, there’s plenty of room to play: plant-based soft serve, Bueno cold foam piled onto cold brew, and the signature Toast staples they’ve become known for - think gently folded chilli scramble, avocado roses and dishes full of texture that are sneakily dietary-friendly. The all-day menu wanders through Asian-Australian flavours, with the Pork Belly Banh Mi cementing itself as a crowd favourite.
Dog-friendly and made for families - there’s a kids’ corner, a book and mug swap, and plenty of reasons to linger. Tiny rituals all take place a leafy, terraced garden in the heart of Merimbula - a much-loved space where kids can explore and you can sit back and watch the whirlpool of town life come and go.
A little playful. A little unexpected. Get caught up at The Eddy.
