He Said She Said
If you've ever driven past He Said She Said on a Saturday or Sunday morning, you'll know this place is very well-loved. Sitting pretty on King William Road in Hyde Park, this cafe is a go-to for locals in the know, with the sidewalk often filled with coffee-sipping families and friends. The menu spans from classic eggs your way and hot chocolate specialities to salt and pepper squid come lunchtime, and there are a few cheeky cocktails if you need something stronger than caffeine.
173 King William Road, Hyde Park
Fourth Hill Providore
Allow yourself a slow morning and take the time to appreciate the good things in life at Fourth Hill Providore. Their menu is packed with delicious plates of varying sizes depending on your hunger levels, alongside a trusty drinks menu featuring some of the best local wines, beers, and spirits, plus hot beverages - because what is brunch without coffee?! Come summertime, you can sit out on the lawn and enjoy that precious sunshine.

78 on Rundle
We love this charming corner cafe in Kent Town - and their expertly crafted chilli scramble! Freshly renovated, 78 on Rundle is a perfect brunch experience, with elevated dishes, fantastic coffee and cosy vibes. It also deftly transforms from a warm and welcoming brunch destination to a suburban wine bar, open late on Fridays for end-of-week knock-off drinks.
78 Rundle Street, Kent Town
Magill Estate Kitchen
Loved for their fine dining experiences and views of the Penfolds vines, you'd be forgiven for not knowing that Magill Estate Kitchen also offers a fabulous brunch! Perhaps you've got a birthday to celebrate, or you want to elevate your next catch-up with the girls, either way - you'll be well looked after here.
Open from 10:00am, choose from the likes of chia pudding, eggs your way, steak frites and a rather incredible French toast croissant. Be sure to take in those stunning views while you're at it.
78 Penfold Road, Magill
Nauti Buoy
Nauti Buoy has quickly set sail into our brunch-loving hearts with its winning combination of expertly crafted dishes, stellar Henley Beach location, lively atmosphere, warm interiors and welcoming service. It's easy to slip into an easy-breezy state here, with a coffee in hand and the kitchen slinging out favourites like sourdough crumpets layered with seasonal jam and Paris Creek salted butter, croissants and smashed avo.
1 Henley Beach Road, Henley Beach
30 Acres
The Parade in Norwood is the place to be on a weekend morning, consistently outdoing itself when it comes to finding the perfect brunch spot… and 30 Acres is no exception! Serving up beautiful meals crafted from produce sourced from many small and local family farms, their all-day menu is as fresh as it gets.
233 The Parade, Norwood
Bloom
Breakfast in a beautiful converted barn with high ceilings and a brick heath? Count us in. Bloom is the kind of place you can catch up with an old friend for hours on end over baked pancakes and panna cotta, in a relaxed atmosphere by the River Torrens, which just so happens to photograph well. Because what’s the point of a beautiful brunch if you can’t post about it?
38 Winwood Street, Thebarton
Argo on the Parade
With a relaxed canteen-inspired fit-out, Argo is the perfect spot to feast on bowls of veggies, plates loaded with bacon and eggs, or our personal favourite, their ‘Benny Way You Like’. When the sun is shining, you can’t go past their mammoth smoothie bowls, customised to suit your taste with a variety of toppings and flavours. Did we mention they have an entire menu page dedicated to hot chocolates?
212 The Parade, Norwood
Hey Jupiter
Step into the streets of Paris right here in Adelaide. Hey Jupiter Brasserie Française sets the mood each day with a delicious dose of croissants, croque monsieur, and even petit dejeuner au champagne (that's breakfast with champagne, by the way). Dine on the street and people-watch Parisian style, or find a table inside the charming and cosy space. C’est bon.
11 Ebenezer Place, Adelaide
Peter Rabbit
Discover an oasis hiding in plain sight in Adelaide’s CBD at Peter Rabbit. Relax in their unique blend of industrial, rustic, homely and modern space, surrounded by a lush, leafy green al fresco setting, and pick your way through their bumper-sized menu filled with all your favourite brunch options including eggs and bagels, alongside coffees, iced drinks and cocktails.
234-244 Hindley Street, Adelaide
Bottega Bandito
Kick back and kick off the weekend in style at Bottega Bandito! This modern cafe and delicatessen is the place to brunch, with a menu that speaks to most and delicious sandos that are taking Adelaide by storm. Brunch is served 'til 3:00pm, so don’t feel like you need to rush here to get your serving of eggs – though you might want to rush a little if you’ve got your eye on a sando, as those babies are only available until sold out.

Fourth
Hankering for some beachside brunch? Fourth is the place to be, with its easy-going, contemporary vibe reflecting across its menu and modern interior styling. Sip on coffee, Bloody Marys and espresso martinis, fresh smoothies and juice and dine on hotcakes, smashed avo and corn and breakfast bruschetta. Arriving after midday? You'll get to browse the hearty lunch menu, too!
34 Jetty Road, Glenelg
Commitment Issues
There’s no need to have any commitment issues with this all-day venue. Win the morning with an expertly made warm cup of coffee, or go for a healthy and filling smoothie. You can pick something delicious up from Commitment Issue's ‘Grab N Go’ section, but we highly recommend securing a table and taking a moment here. Try not to get too committed to the menu, though – it changes weekly!
210 Greenhill Road, Eastwood
Yolk Cafe
Say hello to the cool kids on the block at Yolk in Walkerville. This airy space will welcome you warmly, and while the whole brunch menu is impressive, the matcha French toast instantly catches our eye. The Folk at Yolk encourage customers to branch out and try their unique offering of coffee brewed from frozen Veneziano beans. Good food, good coffee and good people – otherwise known as the trifecta for a brilliant brunch.
42 North East Road, Walkerville
The Middle Store
Pop into neighbourhood café The Middle Store for a brunch with a Middle Eastern twist. With a menu inspired by the flavours and dishes of Lebanon, this is not your average breakfast. Think baclava, hummus, Lebanese sweets and cakes, flavourful falafel and generous servings of vegetables. The vibe here is wholesome and welcoming, and we totally understand why The Middle Store has so many regulars!
