Locals Keep Coming Back

The Café That Surry Hills Locals Keep Coming Back To

In a city full of cafés, finding the one—the café you visit for your morning coffee, long brunches with mates, or that solo lunch to reset mid-week—can feel like a mission. That’s why I started Dad and the Frog Café. We're not trying to be trendy. We're just here to make sure the coffee is exceptional, the eggs are done just the way you like, and your time with us feels like a little pocket of peace in the middle of Surry Hills.

The Best Café for Breakfast, Brunch & Lunch (Seriously)

Whether you're a flat white before 9am kind of person, or someone who loves a slow brunch on the weekend, we’ve got something for you.

  • Our Chilli Scrambled Eggs are a cult classic—creamy, spicy, and full of flavour.

  • Prefer something simpler? Go for Eggs on the Run—two eggs your way on toast of your choice. Add sides or keep it classic.

  • Our Crispy Hashbrowns are house-made, golden, and addictive—perfect as a side or a light breakfast.

  • And the Avocado & Feta on sourdough? It's fresh, punchy, and plated beautifully with dukkah, pomegranate, and poached eggs.

Of course, it all pairs perfectly with our coffee. We serve Toby’s Estate specialty beans, including single origin options for espresso lovers and batch brew fans alike.

Why We’re a Favourite Among Locals Who Know a Good Café

We see you—the early risers, the freelancers on laptops, the parents catching up after drop-off, the dog walkers, the friends deep in conversation. You're all part of our community.

We’ve created a space that’s casual but intentional—think neighbourhood charm meets quality fare without the pretension. The courtyard is dog-friendly (bacon snacks for the pups included), the playlist hits just right, and the vibe is always warm and welcoming.

Book a Table for Your Next Catch-Up

Whether it’s a Saturday brunch, a mid-week breakfast meeting, or a solo start to the day with a journal and a coffee—we’d love to have you.
