Best brunch cafes in Windsor, ranked
#1Cassiopeia Coffee for an early, light weekend brunch
$๐ณ Howe Park, 4 min walkCassiopeia Coffee, on George Street, is the earliest option here, trading from 6am on both weekend days until 1pm. Avocado toast leads the menu in visitor mentions, and one diner found salt and lime an unexpected match on it. The food is snack-sized rather than a full brunch plate, so pair it with a coffee. The raisin bread is worth adding for a slower second order.
#2Cafe Cornerstone for a cooked brunch with steak
$$๐ Dogs outsideOutdoor seatingCafe Cornerstone on Macquarie Street is the cooked-breakfast choice here. Plates run from $16 up to $26, with the steak topping the range. Go beyond eggs with the cauliflower steak with lamb and poached egg, or the slow-cooked lamb. Saturday and Sunday trading finishes at 2pm, with doors opening at 8am.
#3Hanmades Bakehouse for a sweeter brunch with a bahn mi
$๐ณ Macquarie Park, 5 min walkHanmades Bakehouse on George Street suits a sweeter brunch. Sweet options dominate the display, from ube yam cupcakes to filled crinkles. For something savoury, the tocino pork banh mi is the one visitors single out. Weekend hours run from 7am to 4pm, so a late breakfast or a long morning both work.
#4Sweet at Lime and Coconut for a Saturday benny wrap
$๐ณ Howe Park, 4 min walkSweet at Lime and Coconut on George Street has a short menu that moves from sweet to savoury. The Benny Wrap is the order to make, and one visitor called it fresh and filling. Lighter eaters can go for the beetroot and roasted pumpkin feta salad. There is no Sunday trading on the listed hours, so a Saturday visit from 7am to noon is the weekend option.
#5Common Grounds Cafe | Windsor NSW for a weekday brunch on the way to work
