Ham

An institution for hip Sutherland Shire locals, Ham (an acronym for owners and brothers Harry and Mario) serves up some of the best coffee in Cronulla.

On the weekend, the pint-sized cafe is packed to the rafters with caffeine hungry customers, often seen waiting patiently on the footpath for one of the street-side tables to be vacated. They’re all after the special ‘Ham’ blend, which has been created by world champion barista Paul Bassett and is perfectly smooth.

The menu offers a array of dishes from the cafe’s deli, including the ever-popular Brekkie Plate of ricotta, eggs, tomato, avocado and prosciutto served on crusty, toasted Turkish bread. The paninis are also a huge hit, as are the muffins and baklava, homemade by Harry and Mario’s mum.

That Ham is a family owned business is obvious; the service is as friendly and inviting as you could hope and the brothers take time to get to know their regulars.

A great place for a casual breakfast or lunch on a sunny day.
