Sassafras of Paddington

Tucked onto Latrobe Terrace, Sassafras of Paddington is that quintessential Brissie brekkie spot you immediately want to claim as your own. Out back—past the buzzing front room—sits a lush, leafy courtyard garden built for lazy weekend mornings. The 4064 postcode crowd consistently points newcomers straight to the Crispy Chilli Corn Fritters and the deeply savory Smoked Mushrooms. It's a wildly creative menu. The Breakfast Chicken Salad defies morning conventions in the best way possible, while the hot cakes—insanely moist with those perfectly caramelized, crispy edges—will ruin you for all other pancakes. Need a proper caffeine hit? The baristas pull a seriously robust espresso with immaculate crema, perfect for a strong vanilla latte. From the legendary Sassy Reuben sando to the iconic BNE wrap, the kitchen fires on all cylinders. Friendly, fast, and fiercely beloved.
