With Easter on our doorstep not all business will be open.
There are restrictions on supermarkets, liquor stores and department stores on Good Friday. Closures vary across the weekend and may also be different across the country, too.
And while this is far from an exhaustive list of the cafes across the Illawarra open on the public holidays, it's a handy reckoner for coffee-lovers.
Enjoy the weekend and support local businesses.
