Best Cafes: Berry's Beautiful Brunch Spots

Just two hours from the city, Berry is a charming country town that ticks all the right boxes: lush landscapes, beautiful backdrops, and a friendly village feel. It’s also a bonafide foodie destination – and it only takes one visit to realise why.

Here’s our guide to sampling the best of Berry's cafe scene. Bring your second stomach!

The Berry Tea Shop

This charming little tea shop-slash-tearoom is the go-to for a good old-fashioned morning or afternoon tea.  A seriously cute café dishing up cakes and slices, stop in for a morning tea break and sample The Berry Tea Shop's famous scone with jam and cream.

1/66 Albert Street, Berry

Queen St Cafe

In the heart of Berry, Queen St. Cafe offers an all-day menu that seamlessly blends international cuisines. This cafe's charm lies in its eclectic ambience - stepping inside, you'll be greeted by a warm, inviting space adorned with vintage furniture. It's a place where service takes centre stage, and they'll host you and your companions with care and attention. Whether you fancy a leisurely breakfast with a Bloody Mary or a late brunch with their tempting array of dishes, Queen St. Cafe is the place to be.

Milkwood Bakery

Head to Milkwood Bakery and while you’re there you really need to order the sourdough (they’re renowned for it), or at the very least pick up a little treat for later from their selection of cakes and pastries. 

109 Queen Street, Berry

The Hungry Monkey 

Originating in Kiama, The Hungry Monkey has made its way to Berry and we couldn't be more pleased about it. Delicious and simple staples are the name of the game with incredible burgers and brunch favourites making up the bulk of their menu. If you're keen for a top-notch brew with your breaky or lunch, this is where you'll get it. 

23 Prince Alfred Street, Berry

The Famous Berry Donut Van

A fixture on the scene for nearly 60 years, The Famous Berry Donut Van is the place to pick up a sweet treat. It serves up cinnamon doughnuts straight from the oven – is there any other way to eat them? – along with hot dogs, pies and coffee.

73 Queen Street, Berry

Il Locale

When the sun’s out, Il Locale Cafe is the go-to but their gelato display will make choosing a flavour the hardest decision of the day. The 70% cow milk gelato is sourced locally, brought in from The Pines in Kiama – and it doesn’t get fresher than that. Located on the main street in Berry, this little gelateria also has a strong lunch menu too. Post-lunch dessert after is a must though. 

85 Queen Street, Berry

The Garden 

Open seven days a week, The Garden is everything you want from a wholesome brunch date - locally sourced produce, house-made products and a menu that can take you from breaky pancake stacks to crisp lunchtime craft beers. The leafy outdoor courtyard is a dream come true on a sunny winter's day.
