Best brunch cafes in Woollahra, ranked

  1. #1Cafe Mazal for an avocado and poached egg brunch

    $$Outdoor seating🌳 Saber St Reserve, 2 min walk

    Cafe Mazal's brunch starts with the avocado and poached egg on toast, or the breakfast plate with mushrooms, spinach and tomato. Brunch sits next to a longer list of Lebanese dishes, so a group can mix a flatbread with eggs. Saturdays and Sundays are served from 7am until 4pm, so there is time for a slow late breakfast. Coffee is the drink to match, and the falafel bowl is the dish to try if you want something more filling.

  2. #2Zey Queen st for a Turkish pastry brunch

    $$🐕 Dogs outsideOutdoor seating🌳 Hall’s Reserve, 2 min walk

    Zey Queen st builds its brunch around baking. The burek and the savoury pastries, including cheese and dill, are the dishes to share between two. A Turkish coffee or a flat white suits the pastries, and matcha is also on the drinks list. Cheesecake is the one sweet to finish with. Opening at 6am on Sundays, it is the earliest weekend start on this page.

  3. #3The Vernon Coffee for organic eggs over a salad

    $Outdoor seating🌳 Saber St Reserve, 1 min walk

    The Vernon Coffee is the place to ask for organic eggs cooked to order over a salad bowl, which one customer describes as fresh and healthy. Bread and pastries from the front display make a good second course. The cafe opens at 7am on weekends and closes at 4pm, so an early brunch fits well. Carrot cake is a light sweet option, not overly sweet.

  4. #4Plane Tree Cafe for pastries and fruit tarts before 3pm

    $$Outdoor seating🌳 Elm's Reserve, 1 min walk

    Pastries and fruit tarts are the brunch order at Plane Tree Cafe, with a coffee. Lunch stops at 3pm, and the Sunday hours run from 7:30am to 3pm, so this is a morning stop. Customers describe the food as very good. Hot chocolate is on the menu for anyone who would rather not have coffee.
