hands down my favourite coffee spot! The coffee is always top notch and perfectly brewed! One of the little things that makes this place extra special is the complimentary cookie that comes with your coffee it’s such a nice touch and makes the experience even better! The food is also just as good! fresh, flavorful, and generous portions you won’t leave hungry The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere every time I visit. Whether you’re grabbing a quick takeaway or sitting down for a relaxing brunch, this place is an absolute gem.

Food/Coffee: Had the best omelette I've had in a very long time, really unique Thai flavours and a very generous portion for the 2 egg one, had the HQ hash as a side too which was delicious. Coffee also fantastic. Everything priced well too. Service: Very friendly local feeling and service, perfect. Atmosphere: Cozy feeling but can accommodate a fair few people, good design and use of the space, beach themes of course being so close to the beach. Overall fantastic brunch, would definitely recommend the Pioneer omelette here!

the coffee tasted like it was made by someone who really cares, and it seems to be the theme of this cute little gem of a place. Best coffee hands down, the fluffiest fritters i’ve ever had, accompanied by delicious homemade tzatziki and a crunchy fresh salsa. i went all in and got a side of bacon, encouraged by the proprietor’s promise of no judgment Highly recommend it

We absolutely LOVE Headquarters on Henley. We travelled here a couple of years ago, had brunch here...LOVED it. The food is DELICIOUS. Tony and Jane were so lovely and friendly. We ordered the famous Jane's famous scone. It was so delicious and unique. Jane was so kind to teach us patiently (and proudly) how to eat them properly. We thought if we could move closer to here, that would be great. You never know... We relocated to South Australia, and we can come to Headquarters as often as we want. If you want something homemade, heartwarming, super tasty, unique, and delicious, Headquarters is perfect. They never disappoint. I don't personally like cooked fruits, but i absolutely LOVE the pancakes. One of the best!!!! The burrito is YUMMMMM. Tony and Jane are always so kind and nice. They cook their food with , you can taste it. Thank you.

It was my 1st time at this cafe. I think it’s a hidden gem in Henley Beach. My breakfast was delicious and so was the coffee. The person who served me was very humble and friendly. They will see me more often from now on :)

This has fantastic food and service. The waiters are friendly, efficient and helpful. The lunch we had was delicious home cooked food. The coffee is excellent. It's a small space but feels homely and the outside tables are really great. It has an extensive menu of high quality cafe style food.

An amazing cafe found just a stone throw from the beach. The owner is very attentive and knowledgeable about everything on the menu, able to give suggests based upon your taste. I had the voyager, a full breakfast. Everything was perfect expected the mixed beans which were a bit sweet for my taste. The potato stackk was great as was the sausage.
