When people ask us what makes Dad and the Frog Café special, I always say it’s more than just the food and coffee—it’s the feeling. We’ve built a café in Surry Hills where every visit feels like you’re part of a neighbourhood community.

Spring in Surry Hills means warmer days, longer afternoons, and a whole lot more colour on our plates. At Dad and the Frog Café, we’ve rolled out our new spring/summer menu, packed with fresh flavours and vibrant ingredients. Whether you’re here for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, our dishes are designed to be light, nourishing, and full of seasonal produce, perfect for those sunny days in our alfresco dining area.

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.

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.

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.
