Definitely value for money, the amount of bacon they put on a bacon and egg roll is outstanding, you won’t find that anywhere else. Most cafes close at 2-3pm during the week Dy Local is open till 5 week days and 7 weekends. The staff are so friendly. I will be trying something else off the menu when I return. Today I finished up with a pot of tea and a almond croissant which is really delicious and going to be hard to avoid next time. People take photos of food, I feel that a empty plate says more.

My fav cafe in Dee Why! The customer service is exceptional, really warm and friendly but also fast. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners. Delicious menu. Had been completely refurbished and is such a comfortable cafe to sit and work in with your laptop. Generous sized tables, comfy bench seating. Nice ambient music that’s not too loud. Try it, you won’t regret it. They also have a nice sunny spot out the front with umbrellas if you want to catch some sun.

My first visit to DY Local and it will certainly not be my last. I believe the Cafe has changed ownership. The Cafe provides all you would expect from a "local", friendly staff, good food, relaxed vibe. I was surprised with the generous portions of the food and good size coffee. I had this simple breakfast for $10, not bad.

Really nice spot right on the high-street. This place is also know as scramble or poached or something, which is a bit confusing. Food was good and very reasonably priced. Service was very friendly. Coffee was okay, latte art lacking. Overall a good spot!
