Best Cafe Near Sutherland & Jannali (These School Holidays)
Looking for the best cafe near sutherland or Jannali? Como Marina Bay Cafe is a short drive away on the Como waterfront — and with the NSW Spring school holidays running Monday 28 September to Friday 9 October 2026, it’s an easy spot to make part of your break.
A Short Drive to the Best Cafe Near Sutherland & Jannali
Tucked on Cremona Rd overlooking Como Marina, we’re just a few minutes from both Sutherland and Jannali — an easy trip whether you’re filling a school holiday morning or just need somewhere calm to land after the kids have burned off some energy. Parking near the cafe is easy, so there’s no circling the block with impatient kids in the back seat.
Right Next to Como Pleasure Grounds
This is the part local parents already know: Como Pleasure Grounds — with its playground, picnic tables, and waterfront walking loop — is within walking distance of the cafe. It’s the kind of setup that makes a school holiday outing actually work: let the kids run around the park first, then walk over for breakfast or lunch while everyone’s happy and worn out. Watching the boats come in on Como Marina while you eat doesn’t hurt either.
What to Order for a School Holiday Brunch
Our menu is genuinely all-day, which matters when you’re working around a toddler’s nap schedule or a teenager who won’t get out of bed before 10. A few holiday-friendly picks:
- Pancakes with banana, strawberries and maple syrup — an easy win for kids
- Bacon & egg roll — quick, simple, and ready fast
- Smashed avo on sourdough with feta and dukkah — for the adults who want something a bit more grown-up
- Granola with natural yoghurt, banana, mango purée and honey — a lighter option if the kids have already had a big breakfast
- Corn and zucchini fritter with poached eggs — a solid middle ground the whole table can share
We don’t have a dedicated kids’ menu, but portions like the raisin toast, cheese toastie, or a simple egg-on-toast are easy to order for smaller appetites, and the kitchen is happy to keep things simple when needed.
Making the Most of Your School Holiday Visit (28 Sept – 9 Oct)
The holidays get busy fast, so a few tips if you’re planning a visit:
- Come earlier in the morning (we open at 7:30 AM) if you want a quieter table before the park crowds pick up
- Make it a two-stop morning — park first, cafe second, so kids aren’t stuck waiting for food before they’ve had a chance to move
- Call ahead on 02 9528 6316 if you’re bringing a bigger group, especially on weekends during the break
- Check the official NSW school holiday dates if you’re planning around other activities in the area, since public and private school calendars can vary slightly
