Your Winter Cafe Escape in Surry Hills
Cosy Corners, Sunny Seats, and Everything Close By
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.
The Kind of Brunch That Makes You Pause
Winter’s made for bold flavours and comforting dishes. Some of our crowd-pleasers right now include:
Chilli Scrambled Eggs – just the right kick to get you going
Crispy Hashbrowns with Poached Egg – golden, house-made, stacked with flavour
Avocado & Feta – fresh, creamy, dukkah-dusted goodness on sourdough
Pair it with your pick from our Toby’s Estate coffee lineup, or matcha latte, or one of our winter warmers behind the bar.
