Why it's worth checking out
Hills Bros Cafe is a weekday cafe at 5 Martin Place in Sydney’s CBD, serving breakfast and lunch-style dishes alongside coffee, tea, pastries and cold drinks. The kitchen operates through the day, with service listed from 7am to 3pm Monday to Friday and the kitchen closing at 1:45pm.
The menu covers lighter and more substantial options, including homemade granola with seasonal fruit and Greek yoghurt, a Hills Bowl with hummus, freekeh and roasted vegetables, Brown Rice Congee with chicken, shiitake mushroom and egg, and the BKE Roll with bacon, fried egg and crispy kale. There are also toasties, omelettes, poached eggs, avocado on toast and Nasi Goreng, which is available after 10:30am. Pastries, banana bread and house-style sweet options provide a quick accompaniment to coffee.
Coffee choices include espresso drinks, filter coffee, matcha and loose-leaf Tavalon tea, while the drinks list extends to cold-pressed juices, iced coffees, Italian beer, wine and cocktails. Hills Bros also offers online ordering, click and collect, and delivery through Uber, making it suitable for a CBD breakfast, lunch break, takeaway coffee or a more relaxed drink after work. The website does not provide further detail about the interior, history or team, so the venue is best understood through its broad cafe menu and central Martin Place location.
