About Cheeky Boy Espresso

Cheeky Boy Espresso brings energetic Italian cafe culture to Ardross Street with bold coffee and hearty daytime plates. The compact indoor room stays humming, but regulars head straight for the pavement tables beneath the umbrellas. The kitchen trades standard cafe fare for house-made cotoletta, arancini, and towering bruschettone topped with fresh ingredients. If breakfast leans sweet, thick ricotta hotcakes arrive smothered in berry sauce, mascarpone, and banana.

  • Italian-Influenced Daytime Menu: House-made specialties include golden cotoletta, arancini, bruschettone, and ricotta hotcakes with berry sauce.
  • Alfresco Street Seating: Lively umbrella-shaded pavement tables offer prime seating along Ardross Street.

  • Signature Ricotta Hotcakes

    Patrons specifically seek out the house-made ricotta hotcakes topped with berry sauce, mascarpone, and fresh fruit as a standout morning indulgence.

    They are ricotta pancakes served with a berry sauce just delicious! Great coffee and really great savoury options that incorporate Italian foods too.

    As well as the bruschettone which was so fresh and yum, smaller portions then I expected but still filling.

Before you head over

Practical advice on seating, arrival timing, and parking for your visit to Cheeky Boy Espresso.

  • Opt for Outdoor Pavement Seating

    Indoor space is compact with tight room to move or order, while the majority of seating is outdoors on the pavement under umbrellas. On clear days, plan to sit outside for a more spacious experience.

  • Order Signature Dishes Early

    Popular dishes like the house-made ricotta hotcakes can sell out during peak morning hours. Arrive early if you have your heart set on them, or ask staff about daily Italian specials.

  • Park Near the River and Walk Up

    Street parking along Ardross Street can be tight during bustling breakfast rushes. Park down near the river and enjoy a scenic walk up to the cafe.
