Hands down best coffee in Adelaide. And we have tried pretty much every breakfast/coffee place in and around the city. Always consistent, never too hot. Food options are also delicious especially the smoked trout on pumpkin bread

Best fried eggs on toast I've ever had, and a flawless long black. This place is a gem. Well-lit, modest, modern and most importantly, delicious.

Fantastic Find! Took my Mummabear for brunch thoroughly enjoyed it here. Tis a small place with a small menu but it's Massive flavour and great service. Halumi, mushies, basil pesto with beetroot slices my gosh I would have that dish everyday!! Bonus easy parking as it's not smack in the middle of the city- just look for the little boy holding the moon on a stick

Paddy's Lantern is one of my favourite spots in Adelaide, partly because it's 50m from where I sleep at night, but mostly because it's one of the best cafes in Adelaide.<br/ <br/ Food: <br/ <br/ The menu at Paddy's is small and, apart from a few regular items, it changes frequently. I love this because it keeps things interesting. I've tried many different dishes here and never been disappointed. As for the coffee, they have a legit case to make a claim for best coffee in Adelaide!<br/ <br/ Service: <br/ <br/ It's hard to describe the staff here without using the word hipster! But don't judge them on that, they are all lovely people :D<br/ <br/ Ambience: <br/ <br/ I guess the place could probably do with a bit of a spruce up.. and the worn out air con could probably do with an upgrade.. but that's all a part of the charm of the place! <br/ <br/ Dish to look out for: <br/ <br/ Coffee!

The food here is awesome! These guys make the best coffee in town here. It's a quaint little place to sit and enjoy a cuppa away from the hustle and bustle of town.
