Avocado on toast, coffee that hits the spot or a boozy bottomless brunch – take your pick with these cool cafes in Adelaide!

Welcome weekend brunch enthusiasts!

It’s the mealtime where you don’t have to get up too early, where you can order cocktails before midday, and where you can stack up eggs and bacon on burgers (with a side of fries) without feeling guilty about it. It’s brunch time.

Regardless, Adelaide’s thriving cafe and brunch scene is one you will want to crawl out of bed for. Thankfully for you we’ve created a bit of a brunch bucket list for Adelaide. So round up some friends and head on out this weekend with our guide to Adelaide’s best brunch spots of 2023!
