Best cafes in Glenbrook, ranked

1. #1Kickaboom for a brunch menu with unusual flavours

   $$🐕 Dogs outsideOutdoor seating🌳 Glenbrook Park, 2 min walk

   Kickaboom on Ross Street is the cafe to pick when a plain breakfast plate won't do. Start with the Gado Gado, then try the liquorice bread for something sweet and out of the ordinary. Customers praise the quick, friendly service and the generous serves meant for sharing. Vegetarians get a proper choice, and the kids menu suits younger eaters. Dogs can sit at the outside tables, and it closes at 2:30pm every day, so plan a morning visit.

2. #2Glenbrook Underground for a quick coffee and a toasted fruit loaf

   $Outdoor seating🌳 Glenbrook Park, 3 min walk

   Glenbrook Underground, formerly The Church Glenbrook, is the cafe for a fast coffee and a slice of toasted fruit loaf. A regular who visits often asks for a flat white with a double shot, and the nitro brew arrives under a dense foam cap. Savoury options run to toasties and croissants. Doors swing open at 6am on weekdays and shut at 4pm, with Friday running to 8pm. Glenbrook Park sits a three-minute walk from the front door, so a takeaway cup travels easily.

3. #3Elsie's for a long, unhurried breakfast

   $$Outdoor seating🌳 Glenbrook Park, 2 min walk

   Elsie's on Park Street suits a breakfast that runs on and on. Hotcakes arrive golden and fluffy, and the apple toast comes with whipped ricotta. Tables sit well apart in a roomy layout, so a calm room makes it easy to stay for a catch-up. Teapots come out for anyone settling in for a while. Early risers get in from 6am, seven days a week, and Glenbrook Park is a two-minute stroll.

4. #4Vincent Diner for a big plate and a family table

   Vincent Diner is a family-run cafe and restaurant in the middle of Glenbrook, and the place for a big plate. The Big Breakfast brings fried eggs, sausages and a hash brown, while barramundi fish and chips is the other dish one diner singled out. Groups get looked after, with tables joined together on busy days. It opens at 5:30am and stays open until 9pm on Thursday and Friday. Glenbrook Park lies three minutes' walk from the door.

5. #5FLAVOURS CAFE for a coffee and a relaxed lunch

   🌳 Whitton Park, 2 min walk

   FLAVOURS CAFE operates from the Panthers Glenbrook club on Hare Street, a low-key spot with international flavours on the menu. Breakfast, brunch and lunch are all served, and one diner found the food tasty. Coffee is described as good, and the club's Thursday catch-up asks visitors to grab a cup from the cafe and join in. Late starts suit it, since the doors open at 11:30am, and Whitton Park is a short walk from the club.
