   Tommy Black Espresso is open from 4:30am on Sundays until noon, and until 12:30pm on Saturdays. The Breakfast of Champs is the fry-up to order, and one regular calls it a bargain at $22.50.

   Joey's is open from 7:30am on Saturdays until 4pm, and from 6:30am on weekdays. The cooked breakfast arrives with sourdough, eggs and mushrooms, and the homemade sausage roll is a good add-on. Tea drinkers can ask for loose leaf, which a visitor said was rare anywhere else in Sydney. Chicken burgers with chips draw praise if you want something heavier.

   Meraki coffee opens at 6:45am on Sundays and closes at 3pm, so it fits a late breakfast as well as an early one. Customers praise the quality ingredients and generous portions, and the fish and chips is the dish one customer picked out. A cold brew or matcha latte goes well alongside. A kids' menu is available, and dogs can sit outside, which makes it the easiest of the three for a family brunch.
