About The Little Cup and Saucer

Tucked away on leafy Northcote Street, this Canterbury cottage retreat swaps retail-strip chaos for generous, unhurried brunches. Patrons drop by for a strong morning flat white before settling in to watch the open-concept kitchen fire up plates. The house standout is the hot potato—crisped sweet potato fritters stacked with poached eggs, fresh salmon, avocado, and spinach.

  • Suburban Street Haven: Tucked along a quiet suburban street with easy street parking away from commercial bustle.
  • Hot Potato Specialty: Charred, crunchy sweet potato fritters layered with soft poached eggs and salmon.
  • Open Kitchen Craft: Diners can watch fresh plates fired up to order from the dining room floor.

    The signature house specialty pairs charred sweet potato fritters with poached eggs and salmon, delivering a satisfying crunch and balanced flavor.

  • Thoughtfully Family-Friendly

    With coloring activities for kids, a tailored children's menu, and immaculate change amenities, parents can enjoy dining out without stress.

    The staff gave the kids coloring stuff to keep them entertained, made suggestions for house specials and constantly checked in on us and whether we need anything else. Special mention of their toilet, this is probably one of the cleanest toilet I have been and there's also a change table for the little one.

  • Hot Potato w/ Poached Eggs

    My favourite dish is the Hot Potato w/ Poached Eggs - am not kidding when I say I thought about it for a week after I had it - it looks normal when served (like normal benedict eggs), but it was SO good!!! The sweet potato fritters were really really yummy.
