A Sunny Escape Awaits
Winter Café Vibes in Surry Hills: A Sunny Escape Awaits
We get it—winter in Sydney can feel a little drab, especially when the rain rolls in like it’s set up camp for the week. But here at Dad and the Frog Café, we’re keeping things cozy, warm, and delicious—rain or shine.
This week, we’re expecting a few rainy days, but we’re ready for it. Our team’s prepped to serve up your favourite coffee, breakfast, or brunch with a smile—indoors or under cover. But come 10am on a sunny day, our Farnell Street laneway turns into pure magic. That golden winter light slices through just right, warming up our outdoor seating and turning brunch into a sun-drenched ritual.
Why We're One of the Best Cafes in Surry Hills
Whether you're popping in for your usual flat white or meeting friends for a long, lazy lunch, we’re here for it. We’re proud to be a Surry Hills cafe that locals rely on—not just for the best coffee but also for those little moments that turn into memories.
Here’s what you’ll find when the sun peeks out:
Brunch favourites like our Big Halloumi or Chilli Scrambled Eggs
A cheeky morning mimosa or a warming afternoon cocktail
That perfect golden-hour sun lighting up your table (and your Insta feed)
A dog-friendly space with treats and tail wags always on hand
Brunch in the Lane, Coffee in Hand
Our outdoor laneway comes alive mid-morning—just in time for your second coffee (or first wine). Whether you’re looking for a casual breakfast, a weekend brunch catch-up, or a work-from-cafe spot, we’ve made this space for you. And trust us—when the sun hits the pavement, there’s nowhere else you’ll want to be.
Book Your Spot in the Sunshine
Surry Hills has no shortage of great cafes, but if you're looking for that rare combo of sun, brunch, coffee, and good vibes, you're in the right place. Let us look after you this winter.
👉 Book your table before the sun comes back out—because when it does, we’ll be buzzing.
