Claim a breezy verandah seat right off the Henley Beach promenade for espresso and pastry without dinner-only table rules. Housed in a vintage coastal dwelling opposite the surf club, this square staple delivers reliable iced lattes, sfogliatelle, and scoops of gelato. Regulars know the enclosed outer porch lets you sit with your dog even when coastal gusts kick up—clear drop-down blinds block the sea spray while you watch the beach parade over a double espresso.
- All-weather pet verandah: The sheltered outer verandah features protective clear blinds, welcoming dogs even in choppy beach weather.
- Coffee-only seating: Tables welcome casual coffee, iced drinks, and quick pastries without forcing a full sit-down dining order.
- Heritage two-level setting: Set inside a historic beach house with an upstairs dining retreat overlooking the square and coast.

Why Choose CIBO Henley Square
Why visitors choose CIBO Henley Square for beach walks, casual coffee, and seaside relaxation
Casual Seating Without Full Dining Restrictions
Unlike neighboring restaurants that reserve outdoor tables for full meals, guests can sit down purely for a quality coffee and enjoy the square.
Cibo, Henley Square, is a great place for a coffee where you can sit, in all weather and enjoy the beach atmosphere. Seriously good coffee. And served at times when other cafés nearby want tables reserved for dining only.
Glenda Brown Speedy Gelato and Italian Pastries
Offering authentic Italian cannoli, sfogliatelle, and artisan gelato with much shorter summer queues compared to nearby kiosks.
Protip: gelato is available and in summer its a fraction of the wait compared with nearby places.
Daniel Wasley All-Weather Covered Dog Verandah
A sheltered verandah setup with clear protective blinds lets pet owners comfortably conclude seaside walks with their dogs in any season.
Good views out to the ocean and you can sit outside on a windy day behind the clear blinds.
Helen Hutton Heritage Charm with Upstairs Seating
A dedicated upstairs seating area preserves original architecture and vintage charm while offering ample indoor seating away from street bustle.
It exists within an old house and retains some of the old world charm. Directly adjacent to the building to the north (between Cibo and the next building along) is an original solid brick gatepost from the original dwelling, adding a bit of history.
Dave Vince Prime Beachfront Stroll Location
Perfect positioning right by the sand allows patrons to grab an iced drink or decaf latte directly for an esplanade stroll.
Great decaf iced lattes to get as take away and sip down the beach.
Russell King Ocean Views Overlooking Henley Square
The beachfront verandah seating provides an uninterrupted panoramic view across Henley Beach and the bustling promenade.
The coffee was top-notch, and I enjoyed it with a friend while soaking in the stunning ocean views.

Enjoyed iced long black, Cibo is one of the rare coffee shops where long black we drinkable, usually it's too sour, and I hate it, in Cibo it's good

Wind-Shielded Verandah with Dogs
On gusty or cooler days along the esplanade, head for the enclosed verandah with clear protective blinds to sit with pets out of the wind.
No-Dining Drink Seating
Unlike nearby dining spots that restrict tables for full meals, this cafe allows drop-in seating solely for coffee and cold drinks without dining reservations.
Fast Gelato Without the Wait
During peak summer rushes when nearby dessert spots have lengthy queues, the counter gelato station provides a quick alternative with minimal wait times.
