Iluka on the Bay – Our Weekend Spot Iluka on the Bay is hands down our go-to spot for breakfast on the weekends. The coffee is always consistently good, and the staff are really friendly. There’s plenty of great food to choose from, whether you’re after something hearty or a healthier option like their Acai bowl (which is amazing, by the way). It’s pet-friendly too, so it’s perfect if you want to bring your pup along for the ride. Add in the beautiful views over Homebush Bay, and it’s pretty much the perfect way to start the day. Highly recommend! Pat, Kass & Family
