Wollongong’s Diggies cafe expands to Kiama
Wollongong's Diggies café is expanding with a second site in Kiama.
Diggies owner Stan Crinis said he had been scouting a location for second site for many years before finding the right one located near the Kiama Blowhole.
Speaking to the Illawarra Mercury, he said it was important to find a seaside location for the brand.
"We've been waiting for the right location to open a second Diggies and when we saw this iconic seaside spot, we knew it would be perfect," he said.
"We have completely refurbished the venue so that it has a similar look and feel to Diggies Wollongong, and we've included some of our North Beach regulars' favourite dishes on the new menu.”
The new café will open on December 19 adjacent to the Kiama Visitor Centre in Blowhole Point Headland.
The 110-seater indoor and outdoor venue is styled by Rebecca Riles of Berry-based Roots and Wings Design and will offer an all-day brunch menu alongside a seasonal menu that includes gourmet flathead fish 'n' chips, local prawn rolls, pan-fried barramundi and buttermilk pancakes.
Crinis said they intend to source as much produce as they can locally.
“We've really pushed to use as many South Coast suppliers and producers as possible,” he told the Illawarra Mercury.
"(This includes) The Pines Kiama dairy, Kangaroo Valley Eggs, potatoes from Robertson."
