#1Good cafe for a slow Sunday brunch
$$๐ Dogs outsideOutdoor seating๐ณ Gordon Recreation Grounds, 5 min walkGood cafe opens at 7am on Sundays and keeps going until 2pm, which leaves a long window for brunch. The shakshuka with grilled sourdough is the dish to share, and the skillet of eggs with sliced chorizo is the heartier option. Breakfast rolls and a fruit and granola bowl cover lighter appetites. The covered outdoor area suits a weekend table with a dog underneath it.
#2Pure Brew & Co. for brunch plates with a matcha twist
$$Outdoor seating๐ณ Gordon Recreation Grounds, 3 min walkPure Brew & Co. serves its brunch plates from breakfast through lunch, and the sourdough toast with banana, strawberries and cream is the sweet pick. The matcha salmon soba suits a warm weekend day when a lighter plate is wanted. Sunday hours run from 7am to 4pm, and Saturday runs to 4:30pm. The coffee is single-origin and roasted on site, so it pairs with any plate on the menu.
#3Really Like Tea Cafe for a tea-led breakfast
$๐ณ Gordon Recreation Grounds, 4 min walkReally Like Tea Cafe serves breakfast and brunch on weekdays and Saturday, and it does not open on Sundays. The croissant is the pastry to pair with a tea. Matcha and hojicha suit a slow start better than a large plate. Weekday hours start at 9:30am, and Saturday starts at 8:30am, so a weekend visit has to be on Saturday.

Eggs on toast with grilled halloumi, roast tomato and hollandaise is the plate to order. The black truffle udon came from a winter special, so ask whether a seasonal dish is on. Toasties and burgers with egg and hash brown suit the kids. It opens at 7am on Sundays.
#5AMELLO Cafรฉ for a relaxed weekend breakfast
$$๐ณ Gordon Recreation Grounds, 5 min walkAMELLO Cafรฉ is a good weekend stop for an early start, and the cafe keeps its doors open until 9pm. Service comes to the table, and staff will explain the menu for anyone with dietary needs. The smoked salmon croissant with capers is the brunch order. Acai bowls and cakes fill out the sweeter side. A flat white goes well with the smoked salmon croissant.
#6Bar Fresko for a long brunch with eggs done your way
$$๐ณ Gordon Recreation Grounds, 2 min walkBar Fresko serves breakfast and brunch from 8am, and Sunday hours end at 3pm.
