Sydney's Best Breakfast Cafes
Published 31 January 2026 • Sydney
Sydney does breakfast differently. The beachside lifestyle, diverse communities, and world-class produce create a breakfast scene that's relaxed, healthy, and delicious.
Beachside Breakfast
Nothing beats breakfast with ocean views. Bondi, Bronte, and Manly have cafes steps from the sand where you can refuel after an early swim or surf.
Inner City Excellence
Surry Hills and Newtown pack incredible breakfast options into every block. These neighbourhoods attract creative chefs and serious food lovers.
Sydney Breakfast Classics
- Avocado toast: Sydney arguably invented the modern version
- Acai bowls: Perfect for post-beach fuel
- Ricotta hotcakes: A Bills original
- Turkish eggs: Poached eggs on yoghurt
Coffee Culture
Sydney's specialty coffee scene rivals Melbourne's. Look for single-origin espresso and cold drip options.
