Zeebra Cafe

My partner and I came here with another couple on a Sunday for brunch at around 12.30pm and we were able to get a table. I chose this place because they had Acai smoothies and I was really craving one — have you ever had one?
Anyway, firstly parking around Maroubra sucks. Parking around any beach sucks in general so just be aware of that, but the good thing is that some streets around Maroubra are not metered and are free. Yipee!
I ordered the egg omelette which had tomato, mushroom, spinach and cheese and then toast ($ 12.50) and an Acai Banana Smoothie ($ 7). Acai is a berry superfood which is discovered when I went to Brazil, it is native there so it tastes AH-​MAZINGG but in Australia we get the frozen version which will just have to do since I won’t be visiting Brazil anytime soon!
The omelette was large and quite filling which is a big thumbs up! Especially for the price, quite affordable. The Acai Smoothie was huge which was awesome as my partner kept drinking it. It was delicious, cold and sweet and I just love acai.
My partner got the Chorizo Scramble which was quite a large serving. My friend got the Big Breakfast, and it was big — so if you’re hungry, it is good value for money! And my other friend got the eggs benedict.
We were all really happy with our food! We ended up staying at this café for a couple of hours and we ordered more food, juices and coffee.
We were one of those annoying patrons that stay at cafes for a really long time, but it wasn’t busy and we ordered a heap of food so I think i can justify it.
Anyway, I would come back to Zeebra again as I really liked the food and it was good value for money.

Relaxed and laid back café in Maroubra, relatively small and no exciting décor or anything overly special, but a great pick if you’re in Maroubra and hungry for some breakfast food.
I live pretty close to Maroubra and have to admit while I love the beach, finding a great breakfast spot around there is a bit of a struggle. Zeebra is my favourite out of the ones I have tried so far, and while the points mentioned above (lack of real ambience/​décor) are true, it’s worth it for the food: the portions are generous, tasty and satisfying.
I had the H Special and my friend had the Chorizo Scrambled, both delicious. Oh, and as someone who often goes to Surry Hills for breakfast/​brunch, it’s kinda nice to have breakfast at a place that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg every now and then.

Zeebra Café. As opposed to Zebra café. I think the American pronounciation of Zebra is «Zee-​bra», and the English or Australian is «Zeh-​bra»? Is that right?
If so, this place is going a little American, Maybe they’re aiming for the California-​surfer feel. I suppose it fits. But after all the effort, I don’t know how Zebra’s fit in at all. There’s only surfing pictures on the wall. Anyway, enough about Marketing philosophy.
The place is cool. Maybe a bit of a step up as a café compred to the others on Maroubra, but not by much. I suppose the difference is that is set up mostly for dine in, although it does do take away.
You’d be looking at paying around $ 10 — $ 15 for a meal, and there’s the basic café menu, with a bit more. I guess the standard in Marbourba is for simplicity, but I get the feel they want to sophisticate the simplicity. But its still pretty simple.
Do I make sense at all?
