They make a good Big Breakfast here. The bread is nicely toasted and good portion of everything for a decent price.
The chicken pasta is also nice and they provide a small bowl of Parmesan.
The brisket burger and chicken burger we got was average, slightly dry.
Service is good and they have a toilet that is decently clean in the back.

A nice spot located a very short walk from the beach, with ample seating inside and outside.
Most of the food was pretty bland (not bad, just not exciting), though some was a little more interesting. It came quickly and wasn't overly expensive (though it wasn't cheap either), so I suspect it's more about the location than the food.
Coffee was good, with a string flavour and good latte art. Top marks for that.
Highchairs were available and staff were very friendly.

Excellent food, great value, lovely service. Not many places left that tick every box but Zeebra is definitely one of them! We had the grilled salmon and brisket burger, both were huge meals and delicious. Yummiest açai bowl in the eastern suburbs for desserts - much better than Oakberry. Can’t wait to come back here for another feed More

Ended up coming here after exploring the monthly Maroubra Markets nearby. It was a overcast Saturday where my partner and I were seeking some nice food accompanied with a comfortable seating location to avoid the rain.
Upon arriving we were greeted by friendly staff and perused the menu which had many options to choose from. We ended up ordering a Mushroom Bruschetta, Brown Rice Bowl (with slow cooked beef brisket) and an iced mocha with ice cream to share - see photos attached.
The Rice Bowl was definitely the MVP and definitely would reorder.
Overall a great cafe to eat at which I'd have no hesitation recommending to others.

This cafe has been our favourite place to dine in Maroubra for a few years, since we started coming here and it's just located across the beach. The staff and the manager are so wonderful and they have a passion for custmers which makes our experience the best. I've been coming here with my family here for a few years now and their food is one of the best cafe foods in Sydney. They do great Chicken Pasta which is my most favourite dish there, mixed with Pesto Sauce, which I had today. My other favourite dish is their Chicken Sandwich with Chips. We will definitely be coming back here whenever we visit Maroubra Beach and make it our frequent place to eat. I recommend everyone to visit and dine in this amazing cafe.

Nice atmosphere next to the beach; some music would be nice.
The staff was really kind, and the burger was really good.
I would suggest using a better bread and cook the fries differently m, though, to make it a bit healthier. Overall, it's a good spot for lunch at Maroubra Beach. More

I had the brown rice bowl with smoked salmon. The salmon was good but the bowl was kind of a deconstructed one with dressing and ingredients arranged separately which made it a bit hard to mix together? There was a huge portion of brown rice and the salmon was a decent size but without the dressing mixed it it tasted a bit bland More

For a start this place has an excellent service! The food is also very yummy. When we come to maroubra we always have coffee in this place and their iced oat caramel latte is delicious. The açaí smoothie tastes just like the one from minikalzone back in Brazil. It felt really good to have it! More
