The Adelaide CBD is always bustling with people busy shopping, working and catching up with friends, and a staple for everybody is finding somewhere good to eat. That’s why I have collaborated a list of the top five cafes in the CBD that have something for every appetite and every occasion!

Chu Chu
Located in Topham Mall, Chu Chu is a funky little cafe that specialises in healthy, quality dishes prepared with speed! Chu Chu offers an oriental twist on classic cafe meals, as well as delicious rice bowls, noodles, and sushi. The vibrant and fun attitude of this cafe makes it the perfect spot to sit and have a swift meal, or grab something delicious for on the go. With a wide range of options, there is something for every appetite, and even incredible vegan and vegetarian options.

Peter Rabbit

Working as a whimsical oasis, Peter Rabbit is the perfect way to escape from the concrete-clad Hindley Street and into a new, magical world. Decorated by nature, this is a gorgeous venue where you can enjoy a morning brunch or host your next party. With a great range of delicious meals, from sweet desserts to hearty lunches, offered at a good price, Peter Rabbit is sure you grasp at your heartstrings and keep pulling you back visit after visit.

POGO
For an unbeatably delicious coffee, look no further than POGO, a vibrant cafe tucked away on Ifould Street. Not only does POGO offer delicious coffee, breakfast, and light meals for on the go, you can also purchase their coffee blends to enjoy at home. With a vision of continued refinement, POGO is keeping coffee natural and full flavoured by adopting innovative roasting techniques. They prioritise ethical sourcing of beans, and have their eyes fixed on environmental sustainability, while still providing delicious coffee to the community as they do it!

Booknook & Bean
A quaint coffeeshop tucked away in Topham Mall, Booknook & Bean offers both quality coffee and quality reading materials. This tiny cafe is bursting to the brim with donated books which can be browsed leisurely with your morning coffee and cake, or purchased to bring home and treasure yourself. All of the profits from the purchase of donated books goes to Kiva, a non-for-profit organisation that provides low-interest loans to to disadvantaged people around the world. So to enjoy a morning coffee, read a good book, and donate to a charitable cause, be sure to check out Booknook & Bean.

BTS Cafe
Running away into a posh, pink palace has always been appealing, and with BTS Cafe you can do just that – and be surrounded by delicious coffee and cupcakes at the same time! All of BTS Cafe’s cupcakes are baked in-store from scratch, daily, and frosted by hand with the upmost love and care. Their cupcakes are not only perfectly delicious, but they are animal-gelatine free, and also offer vegan and gluten free options. To sate any sweet tooth, BTS Cafe is awaiting with decadent coffee and silky, impeccably delicious cupcakes!

Whether you’re looking for somewhere to enjoy a long lunch with friends, or just grabbing something for on the go, you can’t go wrong with any of these cafes! Be sure to visit them all when you have a chance, and maybe even make a list of your own favourite places to eat in the Adelaide CBD.
