   $🌳 Anzac Park, 5 min walk

   Siroo Rice Cake Cafe on Victoria Road serves bingsu, a shaved ice dessert piled with fruit, ice cream and cubes of rice cake.

   $$🌳 Anzac Park, 2 min walk

   The Coffee Club Ryde Eastwood sits inside a club on Ryedale Road, two minutes on foot from Anzac Park. Order the chicken and avocado bowl with a poached egg, or the steak ciabatta with chips. Poached eggs with avocado and spinach are the breakfast choice. The coffee is mild and sweet, which suits anyone who avoids strong coffee. Recent comments are mixed on the service at the register, so allow extra time at busy hours. Its 10am opening rules it out for early breakfasts.
