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.
A Sunny Escape Awaits
We get it—winter in Sydney can feel a little drab, especially when the rain rolls in like it’s set up camp for the week. But here at Dad and the Frog Café, we’re keeping things cozy, warm, and delicious—rain or shine.
This week, we’re expecting a few rainy days, but we’re ready for it. Our team’s prepped to serve up your favourite coffee, breakfast, or brunch with a smile—indoors or under cover. But come 10am on a sunny day, our Farnell Street laneway turns into pure magic. That golden winter light slices through just right, warming up our outdoor seating and turning brunch into a sun-drenched ritual.
