   The Lab - Black Poison is open from 8am to 2pm on both weekend days, which sets the brunch window here. Panini, banana bread with chocolate chips and the shakes are the orders to make.

   Jada's Cafe opens at 6am on Saturdays and closes at 3pm, and the cooked breakfast is the reason to go. The kitchen sends out eggs on toast in big portions on good bread, plus avocado on toast with feta, tomato and bacon. A salami omelette is another option on the menu. Fast service suits a quick weekend breakfast, and Fred Kelly Reserve is a two-minute walk away for a stroll after.

   The Sisu Coffee House & Bar serves breakfast from 7am on Sundays and keeps lunch going until the 3pm close. For a slow morning, the baked eggs come out in a cast-iron pan, and a berry and kiwi bowl is the lighter choice. The breakfast burger and corn fritters are the brunch orders to make. The outdoor area at the back takes dogs, and fresh juices and matcha are on the drinks list.

4. #4Banh Banh Espresso for a Saturday lunch after brunch

   $🌳 Fred Kelly Reserve, 1 min walk

   Banh Banh Espresso is the late option, trading until 8pm on Saturdays. Pork crackling banh mi is the dish to order, and beef pho is the bowl to pair with it. A weaker coffee is an option, since staff adjust drinks to taste, and the Vietnamese iced coffee is strong and sweet. After a Saturday lunch, Fred Kelly Reserve is a very short stroll away.
