The Best Cafés in Parramatta for Your Next Brunch

With fresh flavours, picturesque plates and killer cups of coffee, here are the best cafés in Parramatta for your next brunch.

Circa Espresso

It’s a truth universally acknowledged, breakfast is the most important meal of the day and, if you ask us, coffee is a gift from the gods.

Choosing where to eat your first meal of the day can be a tough call but, if you’re in Parramatta, you’re downright spoilt for choice. 

With Middle Eastern-inspired breakfasts, café classics, beautiful brunches and some irresistibly Instagrammable interiors, here are the best cafés in Parramatta to book for your next brunch.

Homage

From the moment you spot the slanted roof and concrete exterior, you know you're in for a treat at Homage.

Cool kids on the block who know their way around a cup of coffee, this is the place to go for a caffeine hit in an industrial-inspired space.

With all the breakfast classics and dishes with a Middle Eastern twist, this is bound to become one of your top picks for the best cafés in Parramatta - if it isn't already!

Lil Miss Collins

Lil Miss Collins

Parramatta locals were essentially responsible for loving Lil Miss Collins into existence. After two mega-successful pop-ups, they set up permanently near Parramatta Station and have a recent addition in Westfield Burwood.

Step through the recycled wooden fence into a pastel, courtyard wonderland where they roast their coffee beans (their in-house blend, Orthodox, is to die for) and serve up some tasty breakfast classics. Plus. they're pet-friendly too!

Els Café & Bar

Overlooking Caroline Chisholm Park, Els Café & Bar, co-owned by a mother-son-duo, is part of a Western Sydney foodie dynasty, with delectable dishes featuring fresh local produce and bold flavours.

Recently renovated and expanded, there is even more room for you and the girls to gather for a delicious brunch.

Middle Eastern flavours reign supreme with the famous corn fritters which come stacked with avocado, bacon, zataar, chilli labneh and poached eggs. Unmissable!

Winston Hills Mall, 64/180 Caroline Chisholm Drive, Winston Hills

Paper Plane Cafè

Paper Plane Café

As you’d expect from one of the best cafés in Parramatta, Paper Plane often has a line around the block, however, we promise you, this place is well worth the wait.

The can’t-miss dishes here are really the eggs, from their truffled eggs with portobello mushrooms and chorizo to their egg-y croissant loaded with spinach and feta scrambled eggs. 

5/2 Horwood Place, Parramatta

Opening its doors at the start of 2023, this beautiful sandstone building used to house female convicts in the 1800s.

Drenched in fascinating history,  the Havenstone cafe is always buzzing and the perfect spot to enjoy the all-day lunch menu.

There's a cool and contemporary offering - our top picks are the shakshuka, strawberry and pear porridge and the seafood marinara. 

5 Fleet Street, North Parramatta

Mëraki Merchants

Mëraki Merchants

From Milo with chocolate chips to cheese and sausage jaffles, Mëraki Merchants is all about childhood comfort food with a classy contemporary twist.

Caffeine-fiends will be won over by the coffee beans that barista sources from Stitch in St Peters, however, if you’re looking for something a little different check out the red African hot chocolate or the housemade almond milk-flavoured with beetroot, rose petals and Himalayan sea salt.

Their food menu rotates regularly so you can come back time and time again and never get bored.
