Nectar General Store fits naturally into the rhythm of life at Cabarita Beach. Coffee before the sand. Something fresh after a swim. Breakfast when the morning deserves a slower start. Or a really good sandwich when nothing else is going to do.

Located on Tweed Coast Road in the heart of Caba, this laid-back neighbourhood café keeps things fresh, uncomplicated and full of the easygoing personality of its coastal home.

The offering moves through coffee, fresh juices and breakfast favourites to açai bowls, sangas and baked treats, with vegetarian choices adding to the mix. It's food that works just as comfortably grabbed on the way to the beach as it does enjoyed while settling into the morning.

But Nectar has never positioned itself as just another café.

Its own description, “not just your average juice and sanga shop”, captures the playful attitude behind the business. There's nothing overly formal about the experience, and that's precisely the point. Walk in from the beach, grab something on the move or make Nectar part of the regular morning routine.

For visitors, it's another opportunity to experience Cabarita beyond the obvious attraction of its beautiful coastline. For locals, it's the kind of place that becomes useful remarkably quickly, morning coffee, fresh juice, breakfast, lunch and the dependable answer to a serious sanga craving.

Simple, fresh and distinctly Caba, Nectar General Store feels exactly where it belongs.
