Allow us to put a spotlight on one of the most welcoming and flavoursome brunch cafe’s that we have ever experienced in Adelaide. You are going to love this one and so are the kids! Lets unpack it – there’s a lot.
Half Cup Café is more than just a café, it’s soul food. A social and environmental enterprise committed to making a positive impact. The team here are dedicated to serving up fresh, delicious breakfast, brunch and lunch options while supporting social causes both locally and abroad. They also occasionally run some pretty cool workshops (barista training any one?) and have the most beautiful, sustainable homewares and giftware’s in the adjoining business, Living Jute.
Located on leafy Sir Donald Bradman Drive at Cowandilla, actually lets just hold up right there and throw in early: No Adelaide Airport drop off or pick up will ever be more impressive than one where you stop for a ‘hole in the wall coffee’ on your way in or out of Adelaide. Or you know, ‘wow’ the pants off your next visitors with the full quality experience and stop for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Ok….. let’s continue.
The coffee is exceptional and you’d be well advised to wash it down with a fresh (often still warm) house made muffin cake or treat. The full menu is halal and jam packed with flavour – we can’t stress this enough. The food feels healthy, made with love and just plain nourishing. Makes sense when you witness Rashed and his beautiful family all pouring their heart and souls into this place.
We love the kids menu and the extended outdoor dining option that runs down Wilson Street, with it’s quirky sun shades for the warmer days and iconic well known ‘hole in the wall’ coffee window. It’s not uncommon to see the footpath filled with fams, prams and even the odd four legged friend. Fair to say word is out in the Western suburbs.
This café and retail space also offers a platform for Indigenous Australian artists to exhibit and sell their work. It’s such a beautiful point of difference to peruse while you wait for your food, and knowing that purchases support meaningful causes always has us nodding our heads.
They also have a catering service that can help you with any thing from corporate catering, to celebrations and even platters. Undoubtedly a fine way to elevate your next event.
Get around this one in all seasons with your kids on weekends or in school holidays, or book in a visit with your Mums and Bubs group or similar. It’s truly fabulous family friendly dining at its best. Got kids that don’t like to sit still – grab it takeaway and hit up the gorgeous nearby West Torrens Memorial Garden Playground.
