Best Breakfast in Adelaide

A Port Adelaide favourite, The Banksia Tree is the kind of spot where the smiles are as warm as the coffee. And speaking of coffee—expect small-batch roasted beans with lush berry notes, making every sip a delight. Sustainability is a way of life at The Banksia Tree, with locally sourced ingredients cooked over Adelaide Hills red gum. Can’t decide what to order? Take your time. With bottomless brunch on offer, you’ve got every reason to sit back and relax and enjoy the cosy atmosphere over a few cups of sensational coffee.

Nestled under the eco-housing building at Whitmore Square, Cafe Troppo is a community focused cafe that models itself on an ethos of sustainability. Fair trade coffee is roasted up on Magill road, and biodynamic milk is sourced from Paris Creek. On weekends breakfast is served until 3pm.

Head down George St from the Thebarton Tramstop and you shall find the charming Mister Sunshine Cafe owned and operated by dynamic duo Edwin Comey and Prue Olsen. Breakfast brings brioche French toast with poached fruit, toasted crumble, labne and maple syrup. Need we say more?

Located in the heritage listed Bowden Railway Station, The Loose Caboose Cafe is a contemporary dining destination with an all-day breakfast menu that offers a good selection of sweet and savoury fare. The thick and creamy house blend sings caramel and hazelnut notes.

Situated in Adelaide CBD off bustling Rundle Street, The Howling Owl is a licenced cafe by day and a cool cocktail bar by night. The cafe menu is all about savoury fare with generous grazing and cheese boards to share.

A Mother’s Milk in Unley is cool cafe serving single origin coffee with all-day breakfast. The rustic space with its hardwood floors, exposed brick walls and big bay windows create a welcoming and hip environment to lap up some liquid gold. Pair your piccolo with a homemade tart and revel in that saccharine wake-up.

A Bloom breakfast feels like dining in a hatted restaurant. It’s got the charm, the looks and a menu bursting with flavour. Housed in a repurposed tram barn, this versatile space transforms from a brunch oasis to a stunning wedding venue, all while sitting pretty near the Thebarton River. Opt for the sun-drenched courtyard sitting under a leafy-green pavilion, and choose from an array of brunch dishes that are rustic, yet refined.

A taste of Italy right in the heart of Brighton, Juniper and Pine elevates breakfast with an Italian twist.

With a warm, inviting atmosphere, it’s the ideal spot for a leisurely brunch with friends or a quick espresso pick-me-up.

A picture-perfect breakfast, East Borough Eatery delivers on charm and flavour.
