When it comes to cafes in Sydney, to say we're spoilt for choice is an understatement. Weekend brunching has quickly become a favourite pass-time and who even thinks about starting the day without a coffee? Keep scrolling for 7 healthy hot spots to add to your hit list!
1. Daily Greens, Paddington

A new health sanctuary nestled in the leafy suburb of Paddington, Daily Greens is a sustainable cafe serving a range of nutritious salads and warm nourishing bowls. Apart from the menu, the space (which is quite literally built around a large tree) is just as worthy of your attention. Take some time out in the sun-drenched courtyard or grab some lunch-to-go.

2. Bread & Circus, Alexandria

For a satisfying, filling and healthy brekkie, look no further than Bread & Circus. Our top picks? The 'summer on toast', 'parmesan not-so-scrambled eggs' and 'breakfast w/gwyneth' are all delicious savoury options. More of a sweet tooth? The humble little 'fruit plate' is next-level as is the 'spiced banana bread'. You. Are. Welcome.

Just down the road from GMB HQ, COOH is one of our fave go-to's. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, not only do they do great coffee (with every type of milk), you really can't go wrong with whatever dish you order. Some standouts include the cauliflower and tahini salad, zucchini buckwheat fritters and grilled salmon with soba noodles. Yum!
