About The Little Banksia

Set inside a converted Kensington cottage, The Little Banksia turns out ambitious suburban brekkie plates far beyond basic bacon and eggs. Rooms unfold across domestic nooks and leafy outdoor tables, where families and weekend catch-ups settle in over fluffy buttermilk pancakes and savory French toast with a spicy kick. The kitchen layers smoked salmon and poached eggs over kale and corn hotcakes, while lunch crowds split fried buttermilk chicken burgers piled with crispy sweet potato slivers. Tables fill quickly on weekends, paired with smooth espresso pulls, matcha, and refreshing fruit panna cotta.

  • Inventive Brekkie Plates: Creative morning staples range from spicy savory French toast to kale and corn hotcakes stacked with poached eggs, halloumi, and smoked salmon.
  • Converted Cottage Setting: Quirky domestic dining rooms and leafy garden tables offer a relaxed setting complete with a dedicated children's play area.
  • Substantial House Favorites: Substantial cafe classics include the Banksia Breakfast with crisp potato hash and a buttermilk chicken burger topped with sweet potato slivers.
  • Specialty Sips & Sweets: Carefully poured espresso, fresh detox juices, and strawberry matcha pair with housemade sweets like fruit panna cotta.
