est. 2015

Seven cafés, still your local.

Ariel’s started in the Illawarra in 2015 and grew one neighbourhood at a time — Warrawong, Figtree, Wollongong, Shellharbour and here at Dapto Mall. Same beans, same warm welcome, same navy cups.

The Dapto team is young and genuinely keen — and every second Tuesday of the month is Mum’s Café Day: free coffee for mums with prams. Bring the crew.

“Hosting families is something we genuinely love.” — the Ariel’s Dapto team, replying on Google
