Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beachstone offered us amazing hospitality! We were there for a long time and even long after our meals delicious burgers, the waiters continued to leave full bottles of cold water on our table. We will definitely will be back.

STEF Beachstone is the perfect combination of bustling vibe and a unique dining experience. Situated overlooking a beautiful lawn and convenient children's play centre whilst surrounded by lush greenery, Beachstone's warm atmosphere invites you into this haven of excellent food and service. The music, blended with the sounds of crackling bread and the aroma of wood-fired pizza, contributes to a truly 'homie' feel. All of this before you sit down to enjoy your meal; fantastico!
Whenever we arrive in Coffs Harbour, meeting all the friendly and welcoming staff proves to be a highlight. Their taste, attention to detail, and lovely personality enhance an almost flawless experience.
The food itself leaves almost nothing to be desired; except for more of it! Everything on the menu is made with an abundance of love and care, which really shows when it arrives beautifully plated on your table. Always generously portioned, the explosion of flavour and colour is truly unbelievable.
Overall, this little gem at Saphire Beach is well worth a visit. I highly recommend.

This a brilliant little Cafe with (I'd dare say) the best pizza I've ever had, that was accompanied by a beautiful tiramassu. The staff were welcoming and polite, and the owner was hands on and a delight to chat with. The wait time was also very reasonable even in the busiest hours and as mentioned the food does not disappoint. Just make sure to book before going, but you will be in for a delightful stop with beautiful food. Would highly recommend and will be going back soon.

Went on the weekend and asked about raisin toast. They didn't have it but they explained that they had sour dough they made " on site." I agreed. It was nothing special bit was completely shocked when I went to pay the bill and they charged me TEN DOLLARS for one slice! They were selling the whole loaf for ten dollars. The cashier had absolutely no interest in listening to me and simply put " it's made on site." I paid it and vowed never to be back! I want to say to the proprietor that there is a massive cost and living crisis and those prices are greedy AND tourists leave but locals stay and with the colder weather coming....we are the ones you should try and be welcoming towards. You were anything bit that!!!

This is great treasure tucked away near access to a dog friendly beach and a big kids playground- the locals know it’s here!!!
A varied menu including a kids menu.
You can have your burger and chips or the Bowl with seasonal veggies and black rice which was really delicious!! It’s licensed which is a nice treat. Reportedly their wood fire pizzas are great - think we might try them tonight!
The staff were really friendly and efficient.
Added bonus - your furry family member is welcome too. Perfect!!

At Stef Beach Stone, you will find true Italian cuisine with authentic, high-quality flavors and ingredients. Not to mention the friendly staff, always available to accommodate any request. All of this is set in a dream location just steps from the beach.

Pizzas were fantastic, very authentic Italian with a deliciously wood fired flavour. Toppings were tasty and juicy!
The tiramisu was the best! I’ve had real Italian tiramisu but this was even better, 11/10!
Will be going back again soon

Excellent coffee! The food is pretty good for brunch - tasty but had a couple of minor issues, slightly undercooked pancakes and slightly overcooked eggs but overall still tasty.
Personally I would recommend the evenings for pizza as that is absolutely excellent !
But overall, a lovely little place to stop for brunch or dinner and always friendly service.

Watched the pizzas being made and baked fresh in the mobile wood fired pizza oven at the front door! Such friendly and caring service and obviously staff that enjoy working together. The pizzas were delicious - yummy thin bases and fresh flavourful toppings. We got takeaway 2 nights in a row - just to sample more off the menu.

Excellent location with park right next door for kids. The Pizza was delicious- probably even better than our recent trip to Italy, the pasta was sensational and the dessert was absolutely brilliant.
Staff were very friendly and accomodating. They had a live band, vibe food and location all 10/10

First time coming for breakfast and it was lovely! Staff were very friendly, yummy food and coffee. Definitely worth a visit
We came for dinner another occasion and were equally impressed with the delicious pizzas 😊
Also a bonus to purchase a freshly baked sourdough to take home and enjoy!

I’ve visited this cafe over the years under all different management, by far this visit has been the most impressive. Interesting menu seems thoughtfully put together, ingredients are fresh and meal sizes are perfect , not too big or small. Staff were all friendly and attentive, highly recommend a visit!

What a hidden gem. Perfect for families situated near a park. With a wrap around deck this beautiful cafe is the perfect combination of indoor/outdoor dining. Food was beautiful as was the service. Kids menu ($10 options) available. They also sell gelato, perfect for a warm day. Highly recommend.

This is an authentic Italian restaurant combined with a family friendly atmosphere like no other. Being so close to a playground attracts many families, but the staff here cater for these families and children with no hesitation. Most high quality restaurants would not be so liberal. And then there’s the quality of the food!!! Our first ‘real’ meal in a week of trying new places whilst on holidays. Could not praise the staff more for their friendliness and attention. A fantastic evening and we will definitely be back.
