Sip, Sit, Stay a While
Your Local Licensed Café in Surry Hills
There’s something special about finding a café where everything just clicks—the coffee is rich, the food hits the spot, the vibe feels effortless, and the service actually makes you feel seen. At Dad and the Frog Café, we’ve made that our mission.
As a licensed café in Surry Hills with a sun-drenched outdoor dining area, we’ve created a space where locals, visitors, and four-legged friends can kick back with a specialty coffee, a chilled mimosa, or a hearty brunch that doesn’t skimp on quality. Whether you're here for a long lunch, a quiet solo coffee, or a celebration with mates, there's always something on the menu (and behind the bar) worth coming back for.
What Sets Us Apart?
🌿 Outdoor Dining, Inner-City Energy
Just a short walk from Central Station and Moore Park, our alfresco setup on Farnell Street is your escape from the city without actually leaving it. Dog-friendly, stroller-accessible, and perfect for people-watching over pancakes.
🍳 Award-Winning Brunch & Breakfast
Voted Outstanding Café in the 2025 Local Business Awards and crowned Toby’s Estate’s Local Legends, we’re not just another café—we’re a favourite for a reason. From our Chilli Scrambled Eggs to the Big Halloumi Bowl, every dish is built with love, local produce, and house-made relishes.
🍹 Yes, We’re Licensed
Who said brunch had to end at coffee? Enjoy a cheeky mimosa or an ice-cold beer with your eggs. It’s your weekend—treat it that way.
❤️ Service That Genuinely Cares
We’re constantly refining how we welcome and look after our guests. From streamlining table bookings to improving our wait times and taking feedback seriously, we’re committed to making every visit memorable—and worth a return.
Come for the Coffee. Stay for the Community.
At Dad and the Frog, we believe a café is more than just a stop—it’s part of your daily ritual, a weekend highlight, a place to recharge or reconnect. We’re here to be that spot. So whether you're popping in for your flat white, catching up with friends over lunch, or planning your next catered event, know that you're in good hands.
