Had lunch here and we were very impressed with the food. We ordered the salad with chicken, the rice noodle soup with mushrooms and the pancakes. All were well presented and very tasty. I’d definitely go back and try the breakfast dishes next. It was a very cold spring day but I was still surprised at the amount of people that braved the weather to be present at this cafe.

I’m a regular here. Staff are always very attentive, the food is yummy and coffee is spot on!Some negatives are the high card surcharge fees (I pay cash now), drinks in takeaway cups due to staff training issues (the coffee is hot and delicious still!), and that the staff gently push you along to leave if you’re taking too long to eat, but I won’t deduct stars for this as i understand businesses need to make money and the food, location and staff make up for these points.Well worth a visit here :)

Surfing Lizard in Secret Harbour is a fantastic spot for a coffee break or a casual catch-up with friends. We stopped by for flat white coffees, and they were absolutely delicious—rich, smooth, and perfectly made. The baristas clearly know their craft, and the coffee alone is worth a visit.While we didn’t order any food ourselves, the dishes we saw being served to other tables looked incredible. Everything appeared fresh, vibrant, and beautifully presented, making it clear that a lot of care goes into their menu. The atmosphere of the café is relaxed and welcoming, with a lovely beachside vibe that perfectly complements its location.Whether you’re after a great coffee or a meal, Surfing Lizard is a place we’d happily recommend. We’ll definitely be back to try the food next time!

Absolutely delicious meals! We stopped by here for a quick brunch and walk on the beach. The food was excellent and fast. The staff was friendly. Couldn’t fault it!

Service was good. They had a bar code on the menu list that you can use to put order in. Couldn't figure it out so we went in to order. You use a iPad to do your ordering. Very easy to use. Service was good. The staff was very polite and helpful. Atmosphere was good. Plenty of seating. Very tidy. Great for family's. Kids play area. Very close to beach.

Great vibes. Efficient and friendly team. Breakfasts go till 3 pm. Had an Acai Bowl and it was the best ever. Small area inside for dining and large dining area outside. Underneath there are showers for those who come from the beach. Recommend.

Coffee was amazing!! Food was amazing and it was such a cute little spot!We almost didn't come because of some bad reviews but don't listen!! This was a breakfast to remember and definitely our new spot!Two people came to 70 dollars with extra add ons but the quality made it worth it!

My family and I are relatively new to WA (we are from Melbourne). We have spent the past 6 months exploring our local cafes and restaurants and this establishment has certainly stood out. Where most places we have visited have delivered average to below par food for the price, Surfing Lizard has been fairly priced for the food on offer. The produce is clearly well sourced and fresh, the customer service was exceptional and the meals delicious. Whilst the menu may not be huge, there's still a great variety to choose from and a decent kids menu to boot. I also recommend their in house selection of drinks as they were also fresh and tasty. It's safe to say that my family and I have found our local brunch favourite. Unfortunately no photos this visit as we devoured it all before I had a chance to write this review. Photos to follow next visit.Also, the atmosphere was good, there's a great kids area and the four legged family members are catered to too. After a delicious meal, the playground and beach are a stone throw away. Highly recommended.ADDITIONAL FOLLOW UP REVIEW:My family and I came back for brunch again today. The food has been consistently good so far. I noticed there are a few reviews that question the pricing, personally I feel the pricing is fair, especially considering the produce they use is fresh and good quality. I have walked away today with one gripe though, they have changed their payment method, we didn't deal with a person, instead made our order via a tablet at the counter, it took longer and also took away from the experience. The wait staff were still excellent though. I've added a couple of photos this time.
