Top 5 Coffeehouses in South Australia

32 George St, Thebarton SA 5031, Australia

“A completely unexpected hidden treasure. Despite all of the high-end reviews of Mr. Sunshine and being included on lists of “Places to eat”. We stumbled upon this café, as the highest rated breakfast restaurant in the area. We were not sure driving over to it as it is in an industrial, in a tucked away area. But once we got there, boy were we surprised at what we found. We found a very cozy, welcoming fun atmosphere. If you go here, you will know what we mean. Plenty of seating outside in a covered, enclosed area. If you are chilly out there, they even have homemade blankets you can pull over your shoulders. Inside, we felt like we were at home, but if our home was retro. It was such a comfortable spot to be in. It had a retro feel, a lot of buzz, with music playing on a record player. Just a joy to see. Add, on to that no matter how busy they are (which has been both times we have been there), they are all very attentive, and give amazing service. We never make reservations, but they have always quickly found ways to accommodate us. Now the food takes this spot to a whole new level. The flavours mix in what you would expect with a traditional brunch, but they add in the amazing flavours of areas like the middle east. Every dish is executed very well, which would seem surprising based on how busy the kitchen it, but it has been consistently great. We would recommend the shakshuka eggs, the french toast and “El Capitan” breakfast. Overall, high recommendations for Mr. Sunshine. We can confidently say they will not disappoint but will surprise you.”

“We were unsure about visiting for breakfast as menu refers to brunch. Arrived at 8.30 am Saturday before shopping in nearby Drake's, and already other customers. Good humming atmosphere, clean well laid out with pleasant outdoor option that still allows unrestricted rural view. We prefer a place offering the kind of food we wouldn't be trying at home, and the menu was full of such options. Turns out there were good, interesting and tasty breakfast options, which even satisfied finicky 16 year old son. Coffee was smooth and to our liking. Breads (Turkish and bagel) were softer than expected, but seemed wholesome and very nice. Service was friendly and food arrived quickly. Certainly expect to return.”

“Food is Instagram worthy and actually the first brunch place that looks amazing and taste amazing! Try their cold brews- for that extra kick.. fish tacos are my favourite here”

3/435 Fullarton Rd, Highgate SA 5063, Australia

“Food is great. A bit disappointed with the drinks we ordered. I think it’s over priced for how it turned out. Plus we went on public holidays and it added surcharges for the services. They seemed to be quite popular with their coffee orders but we didn’t try it.”

7 Watahuna Ave, Hawthorndene SA 5051, Australia

“Fantastic little cafe, next the the road but surrounded by trees and heaps of seating. Lovely atmosphere and fantastic staff. Food looks lovely but I only had time for a coffee which was amazing.”

160 Fullarton Rd, Rose Park SA 5067, Australia

“Great recommendation by a local friend to this breakfast spot. Amazing food and a great variety on the menu, also had some beautiful coffees. The atmosphere is great, food was quick and delicious, and staff are friendly”

19 Murray St, Gawler SA 5118, Australia

“We drive from North Haven and each time our meals have been worth it. Friendly staff also. Pic of the most delicious risotto and the carrot cake after was good too.Try the Brushetta pizza, highly recommend”

9-17 Young St, Adelaide SA 5000, Australia

“This cafe gets ludicrously busy around 9am weekdays and it is arguable if the staff are able to cope with the volume. People wait inordinate amounts of time for their coffee (saw people waiting 10 minutes for their takeaway) But in saying that, omg, the coffee is amazing and explains why people are willing to wait. This beats anything I had in Adelaide recently. Up there with Coffee Branch in the vicinity, probably slightly better. The sandwiches are also so well done. My chicken sandwich had fresh celery, parsley among other things. Was so delicious.”

Broadbent Terrace, Whyalla Norrie SA 5608, Australia

“Lovely little spot with a wetlands view”

158 Hindmarsh Rd, Victor Harbor SA 5211, Australia

“First time trying this cafe that has been around for a little while now. The food was tasty and coffee was good. A little on the pricey side but still enjoyed it. The atmosphere and setting is very nice. Well worth giving this place a try.”

976 North East Road, Modbury SA 5092, Australia

“Good serves of food. Prices range from sides of $18 to mains up to $35. Had the pulled pork burger. Very filling. Ice mocha was delicious”

33A Pirie St, Adelaide SA 5000, Australia

“Had a cupcake and cappuccino here for afternoon tea today. There was only one gluten-free option: vanilla, but that’s better than none (as was the case down the road, that’s why I chose this cafe). Friendly service and coffee served promptly. Coffee was okay - barely strong enough for my liking.”
