New Coffee: Madding Crowd Coffee Roaster
Small Batch, Big Flavour
At Dad and the Frog Café, coffee isn’t just part of the menu — it’s part of our identity. That’s why we’re excited to now serve coffee from Madding Crowd Coffee Roasters, a Sydney-based small-batch roaster you’ll only find in a select few cafés and coffee shops.
Their signature blend, The Destroyer, is sweet, clean on the palate, and so easy to drink that it’s a little bit dangerous. Because Madding Crowd roasts in smaller quantities, they don’t face the scaling challenges of larger roasters. Every batch is precise, fresh, and full of flavour.
Sydney’s Leafy Playground
If you're looking for the ultimate inner-city suburb to spend a day with the family, Surry Hills ticks all the boxes. Think tree-lined streets, heritage terraces, converted warehouses, indie galleries, weekend markets, and more dog walkers than you can count. And in the middle of it all? A local gem of a cafe—Dad and the Frog—that’s designed to keep everyone fuelled and happy.
Cafe Culture, Surry Hills and Winter
There’s something special about winter in Surry Hills. The crisp air, golden morning light, and the smell of fresh coffee drifting down Fitzroy Street. It’s the season where cafe culture really shines, and here at Dad and the Frog, we live for it.
If you’re looking for the kind of cafe that makes you want to linger a little longer, order that second coffee, and soak up the vibe—this is it.
