Everyone’s always on the hunt for good brunch and coffee options so we thought we’d showcase one of our favourite city streets which is oozing with places you need to add to your list stat. Whether you’re an early morning cyclist, recovering from a big night, or doing a business meeting over bacon, there’s this whole breakfast/brunch cafe culture happening in the city on Hutt Street that you probably didn’t realise.
The food is great, parking’s a breeze and it strangely has a quaint, village-vibe going on right there on the outskirts of Adelaide’s CBD. Majority of the restaurants, bars and cafes that line the leafy street have also embraced alfresco dining with ample outdoor seating year round. This is particularly great for lazy brunching and watching the world pass you by. Then you’ve got Rundle Mall and Rundle Street right at your doorstep plus all the happenings like Adelaide Fringe and Clipsal when they come to town.
Here are our favourite breakfast and brunch hotspots on Hutt Street that you need to know about:
Bici Espresso e Pasticceria – 259 Hutt Street, Adelaide
These guys get that breakfast easily rolls into brunch especially on the weekend and serve breakfast until 2:30pm daily. If you’re short on time they’ve got an amazing range of breads, cakes, biscuits, donuts and other delicious treats made fresh on the premises – don’t worry there are plenty of gluten-free options too. Otherwise, if you’ve got more time up your sleeve, there are things like the Zucchini fritters with hommus, shaved parmesan, rocket and shredded raw beetroot, Chorizo, artichoke & napoletana bake with poached eggs and Coconut and quinoa porridge. Add one of their gorgeous coffees and your day’s made (FYI: the latte art is on point here).
These guys are also super bike-friendly if you’re a cyclist and looking for your next meeting point including breakfast and a caffeine hit.
