Best brunch cafes in Riverwood, ranked
#1Oriento coffee house for a weekend brunch with pastries
$Outdoor seating🌳 Phillip Street Reserve, 2 min walkOriento coffee house serves on Saturdays until 3pm and on Sundays until 1pm, so the weekend window is wide enough for a slow morning. Pick a cake such as the pistachio cheesecake, or a savoury item like the spicy chicken wrap or the ham and cheese croissant. The Dubai pistachio kataifi is the sweet choice one diner made. The mushroom melt toast and salmon bagel are the other brunch options on the menu. The coffee is mixed, so a piccolo is the safer order.
#2Cafe Roman for a breakfast board on a Sunday morning with children

The kids' menu and vegetarian options suit a family brunch.
