The Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Adelaide, Australia

Tom Smith

Adelaide is paradise for food and drink aficionados, and coffee is no exception. Caffeine addicts will find no shortage of great coffee shops and cafes around town to get their fix. These are the pick of the best places for a cuppa and some breakfast in the South Australian capital.

Did you know – Culture Trip now does bookable, small-group trips? Pick from authentic, immersive Epic Trips, compact and action-packed Mini Trips and sparkling, expansive Sailing Trips.

Coffee Branch

This trendy space on Leigh St is memorable for the quirky contemporary artwork that adorns the walls, but it’s the excellent coffee that keeps inner-city caffeine addicts coming back for a cuppa at this cosy espresso bar. Coffee Branch also serves gourmet sandwiches, quiches and baked goods for a quick bite on your lunch break.

Peter Rabbit

Peter Rabbit entrance

You’ll feel like you’re going down a rabbit hole at this whimsical West End cafe, complete with lush green lawns, an organic garden on the roof and even resident bunnies in their own on-site enclosure. Peter Rabbit’s menu is similarly green — think herb-laden salads and sandwiches — before the venue turns into a bar for a quiet tipple in the evening.

Cafe Troppo

Food at Cafe Troppo

Borrowing the environmentally friendly ethos of their father — Phil Harris of eco-friendly Troppo Architects — sibling ownership team Maddie and Alex Harris have made sure their Whitmore Square cafe exhibits the same green credentials. Cafe Troppo’s fresh, sustainable menu changes with the seasons, and even the coffee cups are kinder on Mother Nature than the average ones that end up in landfill.

UR Caffe

The brainchild of a Bangkok-born couple who swapped Bondi for North Adelaide to open a Thai-inspired brunch spot, UR Caffe has a menu option for every diet — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, you name it — served alongside enormous cups of tasty coffee and famously friendly service.

Exchange Specialty Coffee

The clean lines, floor-to-ceiling windows and sleek black interior of this uber-popular cafe reflect Exchange’s sophisticated offerings on the plate and in the cup. This East End establishment has earned a formidable reputation for coffee roasted by Market Lane and artisanal tea by Waterloo Tea, as well as a refined menu of modern, inventive dishes.
