Yelo is my favourite cafe in the whole world. It is the best cafe in the whole world. It sounds like something a five year old would say about how a play park is the best place ever, but that is how I feel. It is just perfect, it's laid back, casual and friendly. It has the most amazing view of the ocean and you can sit with a coffee and just stare at it. That's my top two favourite things put together, the beach and coffee, done.
It is fantastically close to Trigg beach, so after a morning or afternoon of swimming, surfing, lying on the beach, clambering over the rocks, and exploring the coves, you can get a refreshing drink at Yelo. They do have fantastic coffee and lovely tea, but if it's a little to hot they do have some tasty juices and their smoothies are great, I love their banana smoothie, a lot. They have yummy food on offer, it's a little expensive but worth what you're paying for and of course uses fresh local ingredients.
Yelo also has a section for surf supplies, you can buy wax for your board here, organically made shoes, there are some pretty sweet surf dvd's, which they play up on their screens, and also various surf products.
There are comfortable couches, long tables or bar stools at the window to sit at and it's easy to while away the hours chatting with a friend or reading a book here. When I was at university and had to take a unit in the politics and history of genocide, this place was the antidote for my studying, where if I got too depressed about what I was studying the ocean could calm me. So it is also a quiet place to come with your study notes.
It is just the coolest cafe and I love bringing people here for their first time, because it is awesome, any time of day, for any occasion and in summer or winter, the view is always stunning.
