Your Winter Cafe Escape in Surry Hills

There’s a reason we love Surry Hills so much. It’s that sweet spot where city convenience meets neighbourhood charm. You can jump off a train at Central Station, wander five minutes, and suddenly you’re in a pocket of the city that feels more like a village. Boutique shops, tree-lined streets, local dogs living their best lives — and right in the mix, you’ll find Dad and the Frog Café.

Whether you’re headed to a game at Moore Park, strolling from the light rail, or just on your morning coffee mission, we’re perfectly placed. You can sit outside and catch the winter sun in our alfresco laneway, or settle into a cosy indoor corner for something warm and comforting. Either way, you’re getting brunch and coffee done right.
