Newport · Northern Beaches · Est. 2018
Good Food.
No reason to rush.
Newport had plenty of places to get coffee. What it didn't have was somewhere that felt like it actually belonged here — somewhere with food that changed with the seasons, coffee that was properly sourced and properly made, and a room that made you want to stay longer than you planned.
That's what we set out to build in 2018. The menu changes every few weeks based on what's good right now. The coffee comes from a rotating lineup of Australian roasters who share our standards. And the room — well, you'll just have to come in and see it.
The menu changes regularly. Here's what we're running this week — come in before it's gone.
House corn fritters, whipped ricotta, roasted cherry tomatoes, poached eggs, basil oil, and a sprinkle of dukkah. The kind of thing you'll think about on the way home.
Sourdough from Iggy's, miso brown butter, whipped goats curd, pickled cucumber, toasted sesame, and soft-boiled eggs. Simple but seriously good.
Rotating seasonally. What you see here is a selection — the full menu is in the café and updated regularly.

Laura and Tom had both worked in hospitality for years before opening Headland. They knew exactly what they wanted to build — and exactly what they wanted to avoid.
No laminated menus. No food that's been sitting under heat lamps. No coffee from a bag with a cafe's name stamped over someone else's work. Just honest food, properly sourced coffee, and a room that feels like it belongs to the neighbourhood.

"Finally a café that changes its menu. Every time I come back there's something new worth trying. The staff actually know their stuff about the coffee too — not just pressing buttons."
"Came for a quick coffee before the beach and ended up staying for two hours. The vibe is just right — not too loud, not pretentious, genuinely lovely. Our new Sunday morning spot."
Open 7 days. No bookings required. Just turn up and we'll take care of the rest.
