Cafe 143 runs Bronte’s quickest morning ritual—pulling espresso and steaming house-made nut milk with zero lag. Morning queues stretch down Macpherson Street, but staff work the line taking orders early; regulars note your coffee is often waiting on the counter before you reach the till. Breakfast leans on local pedigree, stacking pumpkin toasties and salami rolls on crusty Iggy’s sourdough alongside fresh half-bagels. Out back, locals settle into stools along the red-brick alleyway with dogs in tow.
- Line-Busting Speed: Staff take orders directly from the morning queue, meaning espresso drinks are often poured before you hit the register.
- Iggy’s Sourdough & Toasties: Savory menus center on crusty Iggy's sourdough, dishing up pumpkin toasties and salami rolls alongside daily baked muffins.
- House Nut Milk & Laneway Vibes: House-pressed nut milk headlines the drink rotation, paired with dog-friendly seating in the sunlit brick laneway.
