With humble origins as a tiny vegetarian takeaway for hungry surfers, Pilgrims has become a thriving cafe with a community ethos under the guidance of a series of local families passionate about good food. After working on the grill for many years, locals Jacob and Santana took over the reins in 2016 and are stoked to be continuing the Pilgrims tradition.

Pilgrims wouldn’t be here today without the many years of hard work by Andy and Julie Leslie (the inventors of the Bliss burger!); Garth Dickenson, Martha Perry, and Daniel Perry; the many one-of-a-kind characters behind the scenes of this iconic cafe; and all the cafe regulars.

So, drop in and say hi, grab a juice and a burger, and sit back, relax, and enjoy. We’ll probably see you later in the water.
