   $Outdoor seating🌳 Thomas Hogan Reserve, 4 min walk

   Oh’Brian Café opens at 7am on Sundays, so it suits an early brunch before the surf crowd arrives. The reuben toastie uses grilled sourdough and is the dish to order, with the ham and cheddar jambon fromage a close second. Coffee drinkers rate the iced long black, and the board also lists cold brew and matcha. Brunch with children works here, with a kids' menu on the board. Plan to finish by 1pm on Sundays, when the kitchen shuts.

The long black and the hot chocolate latte are the drinks to pick. Step-free access and an outside table make it easy to sit down with a friend.
