The name tells you something about this café’s character before you even arrive. Tucked one block back from the Moffat Beach foreshore on Nothling Street, One Block Back is the kind of neighbourhood café that becomes central to a community without ever trying to be anything more than what it is: excellent coffee, a good breakfast menu and a genuinely welcoming space.
The 4.6 Google rating reflects what locals already know. The coffee is taken seriously, the breakfast offering is well considered, and the atmosphere captures the unhurried pace of Moffat Beach at its best. It is a café for people who have worked out that the best spots are often the ones slightly off the main track rather than the ones fighting for attention on the seafront strip.
The Moffat Beach community has adopted it as their own, which is the highest compliment any neighbourhood café can receive. Whether you are a local starting the morning right or a visitor who has made the effort to explore beyond the obvious, One Block Back rewards the slight detour with a genuinely satisfying café experience.
Open seven days from 7am to 2pm.
