Our Recipe for Cafe Culture
At Dad and the Frog Café, we believe every great experience has a recipe. For us, it starts with a corner location that catches the sun and the leafy charm of Surry Hills. Add in alfresco dining surrounded by greenery, a menu full of house-made goodness, and a team that knows how to make you feel at home—and you’ve got more than just a café. You’ve got a neighbourhood staple.
Winter Brunch Spot
Winter doesn’t mean hiding indoors. At Dad and the Frog Café, we’re turning the chill season into your new favourite brunch vibe with our sun-soaked alfresco dining. Located on Farnell Street, our corner of Surry Hills gets the kind of golden midday light that makes you want to stay for one more coffee—or maybe a cheeky cocktail.
Whether you're catching up with friends, powering through a creative workday, or just pausing to soak up some much-needed Vitamin D, our dog-friendly outdoor seating is made for lingering.
School Holiday Café Breaks
Make the most of your family time with coffee, comfort food and a stroll to the playground
School holidays in Sydney can be a mix of magic and mayhem—especially if you’re juggling family time and your sanity. If you’re looking for a relaxed outing in Surry Hills, we’ve got a little local secret to share: start your morning with a stroll to Moore Park Playground, let the kids burn some energy, then swing past Dad and the Frog Café to refuel.
We’re a Surry Hills café that gets it—parents need a moment, kids want something delicious, and everyone deserves a good feed.
Boozy Saturdays
There’s just something about a long, lazy lunch that rolls into the afternoon. Add some sunshine, a glass of something cold, and a few of your favourite people – and suddenly your weekend is looking a whole lot brighter.
At Dad and the Frog Café, we’ve given our alcohol menu a refresh, just in time for your next Saturday brunch or lunch. Whether you're catching up with friends or enjoying a date in the sun, we’ve created the kind of vibe you’d expect from the best cafe in Surry Hills – chilled, flavourful, and fun.
