What is it? An excellent food and coffee house in Parramatta serving up Middle Eastern-inspired breakfast plates. Circa Espresso is also the winner of Time Out’s People’s Choice Award for Best Café 2025.
Why we love it: We’re here for the Ottoman eggs – are you? So is everybody else. It's a day-starter that’s achieved cult status in this breakfast-loving town like few dishes can, and it proudly puts Parramatta on the map as a breakfast destination. Think: creamy, garlic-tinged labne layered with fried eggplant, chilli oil, crisp leeks and poached free-range eggs. Plus, we love the coffee that’s roasted in-house.
Time Out tip: Circa is a two-minute walk from the train station. Stop here for flavour and fuel before your day out exploring Parra.
Address: 21 Wentworth St, Parramatta NSW 2150
