Best cafes in Prospect, ranked

1. #1Coffee in Eden for a quick coffee and a toasted sandwich

   🌳 Prospect Park, 8 min walk

   Coffee in Eden is a small cafe inside a church on Stoddart Road. The toasted ham and cheese on thick sourdough, with sliced pickle, is the savoury choice, and the pastries come from Sonoma. Coffee drinkers say the coffee is the main draw, and one regular names the espresso machines, a Synesso Cyncra and a Mythos One. Breakfast and lunch are served, and Prospect Park is 8 minutes on foot.

2. #2Two Birds for a big breakfast plate and a steak sandwich

   $$Outdoor seating🌳 Peter Winter Park, 7 min walk

   Two Birds opens from 8am until 4pm each day, and the menu moves from morning plates into lunch. The breakfast plate pairs scrambled eggs and microgreens with bacon, sausage and mushroom. Burgers come with a generous serve of bacon, and visitors praise the steak sandwich. Some customers find the counter service a letdown, and one would like table service. Walking from Two Birds to Peter Winter Park takes 7 minutes.
