Finding the perfect morning spot in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs can feel overwhelming. With so many cafes lining the streets, true foodies look for something beyond just a great plate of eggs—they look for atmosphere, soul, and a sense of place.
If you step just slightly off the main bustle of Oxford Street, you’ll find exactly that. Tucked away under the shade of a massive, beautiful maple tree sits JOZO, a cafe proudly serving what locals consider the best breakfast in Paddington, Sydney.
Breakfast with Local Heritage Charm
What truly sets JOZO apart from other cafes in Paddington is our unique home. We operate out of a stunning, character-filled heritage building right on the edge of Centennial Park.
Dining here feels like uncovering a neighborhood secret. The historic brickwork and architecture provide a beautiful, relaxed backdrop for your morning routine. Whether you choose to sit inside surrounded by character or grab a seat out in our sun-drenched, pet-friendly courtyard, it’s a space built for slow, breezy Sydney mornings.
The Foodie Favorites: Elevated Classics & Iconic Bites
A beautiful location means nothing without an exceptional kitchen to back it up. Our all-day menu balances contemporary Australian brunch culture with hearty, comforting classics designed to impress local foodies.
If you are looking for something beautifully refined, our delicate French omelette is a must-try, perfectly folded and filled with tomato, spinach, and marinated goat's cheese. Seafood lovers can't go past our signature house-made pinkie crumbed fishcake, elegantly topped with a perfectly poached egg and rich, creamy hollandaise sauce.
And, of course, we couldn't talk about brunch without mentioning the legendary Irish breakfast roll. Packed with authentic pork sausages, bacon, traditional black and white pudding, a fried egg, and a crispy hash brown, it is said to be "just like you get at home". Whether you are a local regular or an expat craving a nostalgic bite, our kitchen has a plate to satisfy every morning craving.
Driven by Specialty Campos Coffee
You can’t talk about the ultimate breakfast experience without talking about the caffeine tracking. We know how serious Sydney is about its morning brew, which is why we proudly pour Campos coffee in Paddington.
Our baristas treat coffee like a craft, ensuring every single extraction is dialed in perfectly. Whether you swear by a rich, velvety flat white to start your weekend or prefer a crisp, refreshing iced latte in the courtyard on a warm summer morning, your caffeine fix is in expert hands.
