Running a café as parents changes the way you think about hospitality. At Dad and the Frog Café, we’ve built a local hub in Surry Hills where families feel genuinely welcome, from pram parking to kid-friendly nooks to water bowls for your four-legged bestie. If you’re searching for a Surry Hills cafe that nails breakfast, brunch, coffee, and a relaxed lunch, you’re in the right place.
What Makes Our Café Family-Friendly
Space that works in real life
Prams fit easily between tables, there’s room to settle in without blocking the walkway, and our alfresco area makes it simple to spread out. High chairs? Yep. A team that gets it? Always.
Food that keeps everyone happy
From a nourishing breakfast bowl to the classic “just-eggs-and-toast” kid request, our menu balances best cafe favourites with wholesome options. We can adjust for picky eaters and allergies, just ask.
Coffee that saves the morning
We take our coffee seriously so you don’t have to overthink it. Smooth, consistent espresso for parents on limited sleep, plus delicious hot chocolates and babycinos for the little ones.
Dog-friendly by design
Bring the pup. We’ve got water bowls, shady spots outside, and plenty of pats. Our laneway vibe makes it easy to park a pram and leash a dog without stress.
The Perfect Breakfast & Brunch Plan
Easy mornings
Swing by after daycare drop-off for a proper breakfast, or plan a brunch date with friends who have kids. Our team moves quickly, and we’ll help clock your timing if nap windows are ticking.
Weekend catch-ups that actually feel chilled
Our outdoor tables are ideal for small family groups. If you’re coordinating a few prams and a couple of pooches, book a table so we can secure the right spot.
Lunch in Surry Hills, Made Simple
When you need a Surry Hills café for a relaxed lunch, we keep it easy: fresh, colourful plates and quick service, perfect between playground runs or errands. If you’re planning an office or birthday spread, our catering keeps the family-friendly vibe going off-site.
Why Locals Call Us the Best Café for Families
Parents serving parents
Because we’re a family-owned cafe, we’ve been through the pram plus puppy juggle. We notice the small things: extra napkins, split serves, and a smile that says, “You’re doing great.”
Community first
We’re proud to be a Surry Hills local, where neighbours say hi, dogs snooze under tables, and kids eat good food without fuss. Every day here is about connection.
