About Diggies Cafe
Welcome to Diggies Cafe, a beloved institution located at 1 Cliff Road, North Wollongong, Australia. Our cafe is not just a place to grab a meal or a cup of coffee, but a point of interest and a gathering spot for the local community.
Diggies Cafe first opened its doors in 2003, after a meticulous restoration of the iconic 1930s Art Deco Kiosk by the Crinis family, who are deeply rooted in the local area. Since then, we have been serving up fresh and delicious food, along with great coffee, all while embracing the coastal vibes that make Wollongong so special.
Co-founder Stan Crinis takes immense pride in offering top-quality, locally sourced produce. With a passion for health, fitness, and the beautiful beach, Diggies is committed to supporting and nourishing the Illawarra Community.
We are excited to announce the opening of our second venue, which boasts stunning coastal views and is conveniently located near the iconic Kiama Blowhole. This expansion is a testament to the growth and success of Diggies over the past 15 years.
Our dedicated team now consists of over 90 like-minded individuals who share a passion for fresh produce, creating memorable experiences, and providing excellent service. If you are interested in joining our team, please reach out to us at careers@diggies.com.au.
At Diggies, our goal has always been to reflect the best of the Illawarra - offering fresh food and beach vibes with a smile. Stan Crinis, who spent his youth in the water and on the sand at North Beach, established Diggies in 2004 with his family, who have been selling fresh fruit and veg in Wollongong for over four decades. His personal experience in design and branding, combined with his family's history in fresh produce, led to the creation of Diggies.
Dedicated to creating a hub for the active, creative, and inspiring beach community in North Wollongong, Diggies embodies the essence of beach living - relaxed, breezy, sun-filled, and friendly. Stan's passion for his hometown is evident, although his support for the NRL lies with the Balmain Tigers.
Morgs, another local who grew up in the beloved Illawarra restaurant Ruby's, joined her husband Stan in running the marketing and events for Diggies. With a successful marketing career working with retail brands, her greatest pleasure is organizing successful events. As a committed mother to three little ones, Morgs is also a huge coffee fan.
Alex, a Gong local who has explored the world, brings a wealth of hospitality experience to Diggies. As the Group Manager, she oversees the day-to-day operations of our various locations. Her positive and chirpy nature, along with her dedication to exceptional customer service, make her an invaluable asset to our team.
Our team of over 70 awesome individuals is what makes Diggies truly special. We are passionate about creating amazing vibes and providing exceptional service, all with a smile. If this sounds like the kind of environment you thrive in, we would love to hear from you.
Visit us at 1 Cliff Rd, North Beach, Wollongong, NSW Australia 2500 and experience the coastal charm and delicious offerings that have made Diggies Cafe a beloved destination in the Illawarra.

Reviews of Diggies Cafe
"Update: this time was much better. It was not busy which meant the service was fast, friendly and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the Salmon Croquettes. The view is certainly lovely, especially on a clear sunny day. However, the service is terrible, to say the least and the food very bland. We had to wait over 15 minutes to order our coffees and food. We then waited another 25 minutes for our food, which was very frustrating. Our coffees had finished before we even got our food, leaving us with nothing to drink while we waited. To remedy the situation, we decided to order two orange juices, but they never arrived. To add to our woes, the food was rather bland and unappetizing. Despite the long wait, we were disappointed to find that the food was tasteless and bland. We had expected the dishes to be more flavoursome especially because we ordered dishes with quite distinct flavours. Additionally, as today was a public holiday and there was a significant additional surcharge it was very insulting to pay a hefty fee for terrible, unfriendly and inattentive service and horrible food! Overall, while the view was good, the service and food at this coffee shop are definitely below par. It was a pity to have to endure such a disappointing experience. I would not recommend this coffee shop to anyone looking for a quality experience."
"Service great, food and coffees average, small portioned, food presentation feels lazy. Not a bad atmosphere - we were seated near the wall near the walkway Long wait for a table, then long wait for the coffee/food"
"Was a great spot overlooking the beach. Had great food that filled you up and the coffee tasted great. Would recommend."
"Perfectly located in front of Northern Wollongong beach. We ordered the salmon croquettes and steak. Both were very generous with the portion and decent pricing considering the location. Steak was a bit over done for medium rare but the salmon croquettes is highly recommended. Overall, great beach side cafe with nice vibe and friendly staff."
