Situated along the ocean front where Kingston Park meets Seacliff Beach – this venture forms the third venue within our family business after The Seller Door (café) - Jetty Rd, Brighton Beach, and The Local Canteen (coffee shop) - Henley Beach. In an architecturally designed new build by the City of Holdfast Bay and Troppo Architects, with uninterrupted coastal views, Nest Kiosk is focused on speciality coffee, quality beachside food offerings for brunch and dinner, complimented by local wine and beer.Our vision is to create a premium kiosk, where people can experience casual and beachside dining - think fish tacos with a glass of vino, as well as keeping true to some classic ‘kiosk’ offerings for those who roll off the beach and want an ice-cream and a cone of hot chips and squid.Our oceanfront venue can also transform for day and evening private and public events and featured themed nights - particularly in the Summer seasons.

I have a fortnightly breakfast booking and simply enjoy having a cappuccino and hot breakfast soaking up the amazing view of the gulf, listening to the waves crashing on the beach and seeing the occasional dolphin. The menu is excellent, food delicious and coffee beans excellent. Service is always friendly and food service is efficient.

Our second visit since we moved to the area. The young staff are hip and friendly and make you feel very welcome. The food is delicious and good value and the wooden booths outside create a great talking point with friends. I would definitely recommend them.
