About Rolling Penny Cafe

Rolling Penny flips standard Newtown morning fare with inventive, produce-led plates served in a cozy back alleyway. King Street regulars skip the predictable bacon-and-egg rolls for dishes with real grit and imagination—like divorced eggs loaded with thick bacon or a massive grilled pancetta sandwich packed with neon cabbage. In the snug passage out back, the kitchen pushes beyond cafe clichés, sending out charred broccolini with rocket pesto and warm lemonade scones spooned with fresh mixed berries.

  • Inventive Brunch Fare: Non-standard breakfast plates like divorced eggs, charred broccolini with rocket pesto, and fluffy lemonade scones.
  • Back-Alley Seating: A snug, rustic alleyway dining space tucked behind the main cafe floor.
  • Solid Coffee & Fast Service: Quality espresso poured alongside speedy table service for the weekend rush.

  • Charming Back-Alley Seating

    A secluded alleyway courtyard out back offers a unique, cosy seating option away from standard high-street dining.

    they managed to find a table out the back which was genuinely down like a little alleyway through the back of the cafe. Felt a little dodgy but felt kinda cosy?

  • Hearty Signature Dishes

    Flavor-packed signature dishes like Divorced Eggs with bacon deliver a deeply satisfying, hearty meal that keeps diners coming back.

    Their divorced eggs is just something I would keep going back for with the added bacon.. It's the perfect brunch.

  • Generous, Value-Packed Portions

    Dishes like the grilled pancetta sandwich or mushroom with poached egg are served generously and prepared with immense care.

    The pancetta sandwich was probably top 5 things I’ve ever consumed.. it was unreal. Although it was huge, definitely made it more worth the money

  • Warm Service and Reliable Coffee

    A vibrant, buzzing cafe atmosphere makes it an ideal spot to meet with family and friends on weekends.

    The coffee was spot on, the food was fantastic, and the service was warm and attentive.

  • Bustling Weekend Brunch Atmosphere

    Despite peak weekend brunch rushes, the varied menu and memorable breakfast dishes make any wait worthwhile.

    It's always busy during brunch time, so try to get in early or eat later. But the food is definitely worth the wait too.

  • Charred broccolini and rocket pesto sandwich

    I had the charred broccolini and rocket pesto sandwich with added egg and haloumi, while my brother went for the smoked chorizo. Both dishes were absolutely delicious.
