Scout’s Guide to Takeaway Lunch in Cronulla
Nine Spots To Visit When You Want To Treat Yourself To A Nice (But Quick) Lunch
Loaf, Cronulla
The sacred midday lunch break marks the most important time of the day. It serves to rest your brain, re-energise your body and slowly regain your deteriorating sanity. Don't dare waste it munching on a sad, cold sandwich in front of your computer screen.
To help you best utilise your hour of power, here’s our thorough edit for lunch on the go in Cronulla’s CBD, guaranteed to satisfy every overworked employee. These are perfect for when you also need to fit in a haircut, find an outfit for the weekend and pick up some groceries.
Loaf
It may not be pub night, but there’s no reason you can’t get schnit-faced with your colleagues at Loaf. Enjoy their house-made spiced schnitzel served with greens and herbed mayo (say YES to the caramelised carrot) as a sandwich, wrap or salad. It's guaranteed to hit the spot.
Not feeling the schnitty? Don’t freat. They cater for every lunch break craving - vego and vegan included!

C.C Babqoc
You won’t be disappointed with anything you order at C.C Babqoc. If you’re after something satisfying but simple choose a flavour-filled salad or a Chicken and Chip snack pack. If you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, try the Build your Bowl - simply choose your protein, pick a side (sweet potato fries are our go-to), add salad and get saucy with our favourite, the chilli mayo. And we can’t forget about their C.C Rolls. The Viet Roll made from Vietnamese Chicken, Pickled Cucumber, Fried Shallots, Sriracha, Coriander and Parsley hits the spot every time.

So Fresh
Don’t let deadlines and meetings get in the way of a healthy meal - their options not only taste great, but are good for your waistline too with a range of salads and wraps to choose from. We suggest the Chicken Pesto Wrap, toasted of course. There’s also plenty of vego options. Pick up a protein ball or paleo muffin for the 3 o'clock slump.

Fish Bowl Cronulla
Fishbowl is renowned for their delicious, healthy Japanese-inspired salad bowls. Conveniently located on North Cronulla Beach, the minimalistic, yet modern eatery offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Not sure what to order? We highly recommend treating yourself to The O.G Bowl, Coconut Chicken or Miso Salmon. If the weather is on your side, opt for takeaway and enjoy by the water!

Hendrix Coffee Co.
Hendrix has every toastie enthusiast covered. You can choose from Chicken, Pulled Pork, Shroom, Tuna, Salami, Cheese and more. Our favourite? The Chicken Toastie - poached chicken in whole egg mayo w/ chives, pesto and rocket. YUM! Located just opposite Cronulla train station, stretch your legs while picking up some lunch. Pre-order to save time and don’t forget to add a coffee - their blend doesn’t disappoint.

Green Shiso
Ditch the sad lunch you created from whatever leftovers you had in the fridge and treat yourself to some of the best Japanese in the Shire. Green Shiso makes lunch on the go quick, easy and delicious with their full-to-the-brim sushi cabinet! There’s loads of variety to choose from. We suggest the Spicy Aburi Salmon Sushi, classic Chicken Avo Sushi, Veggie Tempura Sushi or their Tiger Cooked Tuna.

HAM
For a quick bite to eat, check out HAM’s daily specials, all displayed in a picture-perfect manner upon entry. From fresh salads and sandwiches to Greek delicacies like spanakopita, moussaka and pastitsio, deciding what to order is the hardest part. While you’re there, pick up a few of their famous Baklava’s for the office - did someone say employee of the month?
3/17 Gerrale Street, Cronulla
Groundbake Cronulla
If you are after a hearty, soul-warming lunch then stop by Groundbake Cronulla. After all, there’s nothing quite like a freshly baked pie or sausage roll on a cold Winter's day. If you often have those post lunch cravings, we suggest grabbing an antioxidant bar whilst you’re there. This sweet but healthy treat makes for the perfect afternoon snack.
6/17 Gerrale Street, Cronulla
So whether you need a triple cheese toastie (you’ll find this at Hendrix) after a big weekend, or a fresh salad to kick-start your week, we have you covered. You’re welcome.
