This is our edit of Adelaide’s best new cafes, updated monthly. Some are highly invested in serving excellent food and following the latest coffee trends, while others are just trying to become great neighbourhood catch-up spots. Here’s where we’re going for coffee right now.

  • A bijou bistro-style dining destination with a former Summertown Aristologist chef in the kitchen and produce-led plates on the menu.

  • Japanese breakfast sets and home-style sandos are on the menu at this delightful cafe. To drink, it’s specialty coffee, sake and matcha with salted cheese foam.

  • Hark continues to make its mark on the South Australian coffee scene with its air-roasted beans, snobbery-free coffee education and its co-owner’s famous (and friendly) groodle.

  • Meeting for coffee in the city? This cool spot has you covered with sandwiches, quality coffee by Rio and pastries by Prove.

  • The Dolly team's next-door nook is a masterclass in paninis and toasties. At night, it flips into a cosy wine bar with clever dishes and a tight edit of stirred cocktails. Grab fancy pantry items from the retail section on your way out.

  • This bright sandwich shop pays homage to the hefty two-handers found in New Jersey. And the kitchen doesn’t shy away from substitutions.

  • The second cafe from the sisters behind popular Mount Barker spot Lady Luck has a banh mi brekkie waffle that’s delighting diners. Perch on the deck with a glass of something from the considered wine list and enjoy the view.
