If you’re looking for a family-friendly beachside spot to enjoy a meal in Adelaide’s west, Henley Breeze Café at Henley Beach is an absolute gem! Think coffee, breakfast, brunch and lunch just a stone’s throw from the sandy shores, and an easy stroll to vibrant Henley Square. This is the perfect place to fuel up before or during a beach day or to unwind after a day of salty fun.
With the warm weather of spring and summer approaching, their new kids’ menu is a tasty addition that’s sure to please all. Think delicious options that are both nutritious and fun, making it easy for parents to relax while their little ones indulge in a meal made just for them. Our top three picks were the kids omelette, ricotta pancakes and dinosaur nuggets! Honestly, I think you can pick the cafe’s who have kids them selves right? This is a beautifully run family business.
What makes Henley Breeze Café even more appealing is its laid-back atmosphere, which is perfect for families. With plenty of seating inside and outside, you can soak up the sun while keeping an eye on the kids (or the dog) as they enjoy their meals. Plus, the café is conveniently located just meters from the beach and just a short stroll to all of the action at Henley Square.
Let’s not forget about the coffee and juices! For parents on the go, Henley Breeze Café is the ideal stop for a takeaway coffee before or after that brisk beach walk or pram walk and catch up. You can even grab a refreshing acai bowl.
So whether you’re kicking off your beach day or just need a little pick-me-up after a morning of family activities, their quality brews healthy treats and hearty meals will leave you energized and ready for whatever the day brings.
Next time you’re planning a beachside adventure with the kids, make sure to check out Henley Breeze Café. There’s ample nearby street parking and it really is so evident that a lot of pride and passion is invested into this family run business, offering the perfect spot where delicious food and family fun are served up by the loveliest team.

This playground has been recently upgraded and includes some great new features! Flying fox (ideal for 3+, it has a bit of a jolt at the end, so make sure little hands can hold on) Baby and toddler swings, plus "big kids" swing and swinging basket 2 playground structures, one aimed more at 1-3 year olds and one for 3+ A 'spinning wheel' with 3 grip bars that the kids spent AGES on. A big hit! Key features we also liked were... Bike path running from Glenelg (or further south if you're keen!) to Henley (or further north if you're very fit!) Lots of space to park Plenty of grass to enjoy a picnic upon and some benches to rest, breast feed etc. Easy access directly to beautiful West beach Things to note: The toilets are located a short walk from the playground, which is something to think about if you have multiple children or a toilet training toddler who needs to go "NOW!" Make sure you pack hats as there's minimal shade over the flying fox, swings and grassy area
Is there anything better than an ice cream on a hot Adelaide day? (Or any day really?!) We have collated the best spots in Adelaide & beyond to enjoy a delicious ice cream, gelati, gelato, frozen yoghurt or even acai treat with the kids! Whether you're into classic scoops and flavours like vanilla, chocolate or mint chocolate chip, or like something a bit fancy like peach and white chocolate (yes we recently found that) we've done the hard work for you and found the best spots to visit. Plus, does anything make your kids behave better than the promise of an ice cream at the end of the day? We didn't think so. Now for the big question Adelaide ice cream fans: cup or cone?
Shelly's Kiosk is a light, bright and vibrant beachside 'must-visit' for Adelaide families seeking a quality bite to eat with a side of beach adventure. With a very deliberate focus on feeding kids well, the beautifully restored venue has held on to glimpses of 'Noonies' from days gone by. You can now enjoy the hospitality here seven days a week from 7am right through to an evening meal or sunset cocktail! We are so thrilled to see what was always an iconic part of the Semaphore community redeveloped and reopen, and right in time for summer! Just metres away from the bustling upgraded Semaphore South playground and the iconic Semaphore Steam Train (which runs on every Sunday + public holidays in October to April + daily in school holidays October to April except Tuesdays and Thursdays). This place really does have it all going on. This charming kiosk serves as the perfect pit stop for both kids and parents. With the sound of waves lapping nearby and the smell of fresh sea air and coffee, it’s a great place to kick off your day with some morning caffeine and a play, or an inviting spot to refuel after a day…
