Where the Italian Riviera meets Bondi. Enjoy illy Coffee and Crema Moments.

PublishedJune 2, 2025

Nestled on Wairoa Avenue in North Bondi, you'll find Ciao Bella. A neighbourhood gem, this beautifully curated café and Aperitivo bar brings together the essence of traditional Italian hospitality with Bondi’s laid-back charm.

Step inside and you’ll find a light, bright, and airy space that glows with natural warmth by day, before softening into an intimate, welcoming setting by night. Every detail - from the menu to the interior - has been thoughtfully designed to create a setting that feels both elevated and effortless.

From Monday to Saturday, from 6:00 am, and from 6:30 am on Sundays, early risers can start their day with the rich, aromatic taste of illy - Italy’s most loved coffee. Crafted using 100% Arabica beans and renowned for its smooth, balanced flavour, illy espresso at Ciao Bella offers a true taste of Italy in every cup. For those looking for a cool and creamy alternative, illy Crema is also on offer; velvety, refreshing, and made for Bondi Beach Days.

As the sun sets, Ciao Bella transforms again. Aperitivo hours on Fridays and Saturdays from 4:00 pm invite guests to wind down with a drink in hand, share delicious plates, and enjoy the rhythm of live DJ sets.

Ciao Bella is more than a café - it’s a lifestyle destination, a meeting place, and a proud illy partner. Whether it’s your first visit or your local go-to, you’ll find moments worth savouring - and coffee worth coming back for.

Discover illy at Ciao Bella. North Bondi mornings have never tasted so good.
