Brunch (noun): A late morning meal eaten instead of breakfast and lunch

Sounds like a two-for-one deal to me… and who doesn’t love a bargain, right folks?!

There’s just something about brunch that makes you feel like you’ve got your life together (even if that feeling is solely influenced by coffee)! It’s civilised, delicious and full of options for every kind of hankering. Craving the classics? Bacon and eggs. Sweet tooth? Pancakes are calling. Feeling a little dusty? Order the burger (with a hash brown, obviously).

The real struggle is choosing where to go when you’re put on the spot. Somehow, when the moment strikes, all your fave spots vanish from your brain and you end up doom-scrolling Google while getting hangrier by the minute.

Well, that’s where we come in! We’ve rounded up 130 cafes and eateries serving the best brunch in Adelaide — a mix of our tried-and-tested favourites and insider picks from our trusty Adelady community.

So next time hunger hits, you’ll never draw a brunch blank again!

Nature’s Providore88 Duthy Street, Malvern

A good brunch begins with friendly faces welcoming you as you walk in the door, and the food here goes hand-in-hand with that vibe. Bursting with flavour, colour and goodness, this cafe is all about nourishing the body and soul. Think organic ingredients, local produce and coffee that’ll cure even the sleepiest morning.

We love Nature’s Providore so much that we wrote about it here.

Pickle in the Middle134 Unley Road, Unley

Just around the corner from the Adelady office, this quirky cafe is an Unley icon for a reason. Pickle in the Middle dishes up wholesome, creative brunches where veggies and flavour take centre stage. Their house-made pickles and ferments add a tangy twist to every plate and their menu walks that perfect line between healthy and heavenly. If you love your brunch full of personality (like we do), this is your spot!

Hello Neighbour150a King William Road, Hyde Park

Hello Neighbour nails the neighbourhood cafe feel with a menu that is guaranteed to satisfy. From perfectly poached eggs to indulgent pancakes that deserve their own photoshoot, every dish hits the mark — and we’ve tried most of them! Come for the food, stay for the atmosphere and treat yourself to a cheeky mimosa (if it’s that kind of morning).
