The "Cooked Goose" Cafe is an incarnation of the traditional Hyams Beach General Store/Cafe which has changed hands several times over the decades. Similar layout and design features but obviously new staff, menu and service. The place does need a good clean and repaint however....We visited just after 2pm understanding it closes at 3pm but beware the kitchen closes at 2:30pm. Service was mostly attentive and orders were taken quickly. I requested the "Mediterranean lamb burger" which is a local favourite and arguably the signature offering for decades but was told the new owners had removed it from the menu. Typical Cafe food in lieu and nothing exciting on the menu. I opted for the beef burger and chips for around $18. There was little to no waiting time for our food. I was disappointed with the burger, overly processed ingredients such as American style cheese and its size was something to rival McDonald's. The chips were plentiful however, and were well cooked. I'll leave this one for the tourists, nothing too exciting to return to.More

Excellent eggs benny and walnut bread with top coffee. Friendly service. Good meal size. Location and venue are aligned well. Name has changed to cooked goose.

Do make a very good coffee, use with oth takeout and dine in, Had breakfast a. Purple of mornings so far, the Granola bowl is excellent, great granola, berries,banana, honey, . Very. busy, happy and friendly staff, a really nice place to start the day

Went in with standard expectations due to level of competition, and the breakfast was excellent. This is rare in regional Australia. Excellent poached eggs, and great coffee.

After walking from Vincentia our group had a great breakfast at this hidden gem. The meals were excellent with very quick service

What a haven. Just gorgeous, sitting on the stylish verandah with attentive staff bringing food and drink. Beer and wine, loved a tasty Coopers Pale ale, just the thing after the turquoise water and white, white sand of the beach below. Happy diners suggested the...Japanese chicken burger. I ordered that. A sensational spice & texture blend. Another had a simple salad with grilled chicken - she loved it. Cous cous, fresh seasonal ingredients, wonderful on the palatte; crisp & flavour filled. Sunny spot with smiling staff; great fun food. Worth visiting. Worth planning to be here! Bliss.More

First day was a Saturday, we were lucky to have the outside corner table on arrival. Service a bit slow but I did enjoy the egg and bacon roll with chilli jam on my choice of sour dough instead of the chunky turkish bread offered....The following morning we waited 45mins for a group table of 7. The ladies were seated at a group table by themselves and even though they had finished their breakfast and knew there was a large group waiting they didn't budge and kept gas bagging. The staff were unfriendly on this day and no smiles on their faces. Lastly, the kitchen staff didn't wear gloves which I find surprising during times of covid. I saw a kitchen guy putting cheese on a roll which I guessed was ours and he scratched his hair and continued to make the egg and bacon rolls. Absolutely disgusting! I will never recommend or return here again! Untrained young staff and could not see any sort of management about.More

This cafe is well placed above the beach and is very well patronised as it is about the only place to get a quick bite and a coffee without driving for a couple of kilometres. Limited menu - burgers, egg and bacon rolls, fish and...chips etc plus drinks. Food just OK but service was fairly slow even though we visited on a Friday out of holidays.More

Great hidden gem of a cafe. The take away menu was great with simple, cheap yummy options. Appreciated the gf and veg options too! Great cold brew and breakfast rolls. Friendly service and nice seating while we waited for take away.

I was starving, it was late and I expected a limp sandwich or sausage roll with sauce. My bad for pre-judging. Instead, I was served a sensational feta and caramelised onion tart, and a range of salads that were so good I bought another serve...to take away. And I had a delicious decaf flat white as well... not often you can say that about decaf! These people really know their stuff, they are so lovely and there are really moving sealife photos on the walls by a local photographer who's also a marine biologist. Do give this cafe a try.More

If visiting Hyams Beach, this is your only on site option but they respect their monopoly and maintain a good standard. Service was efficient and coffee quality first class. Can be busy at times so patience may be a virtue.

Went for breakfast and food was great and service too. The cafe had new owners but most staff seem to be the same. Will go again.
