Spring is arguably the most exciting season of the year. The days become warm and long; the jacarandas begin to blossom; snakes start revealing themselves in unwanted locations; and the new season of Beauty and the Geek begins.

To sustain us through these exciting times we must seek out food locations that we can trust to keep our mood elevated and bodies energised throughout the day. As they say, breakfast is the most important meal, so we have come up with Concrete Playground’s top five breakfast spots to put spring into your step.

Little Larder

Little Larder

Located on Moray St in New Farm the Little Larder is a great, casual and cool hangout to enjoy breakfast. The folks at Little Larder are very kind – especially if you are recovering from a big night out. If you want to order a fruit salad and a bowl of chips for breakfast to cure your hangover, they will grant your wish with no judgement. If you want to stick to a more traditional breakfast then the savoury mince on toast is a delicious way to start your day.

Hampton's Home Living

Hampton’s Home Living

This is the perfect place to take the parents. Hampton’s is half interiors half restaurant, and is aesthetically beautiful. Sitting on the back deck you get a rare and tree-framed view looking out towards the Brisbane River from Paddington. Their breakfast menu is completely drool-worthy, with the recent addition of a pork belly dish – for breakfast! A Concrete Playground favourite is the smashed avocado, Persian fetta and rocket on sour dough (with a side of bacon). The generous heaps of avocado and fetta are offset with a squeeze of lemon and is a true treat in the morning.

Lure

Lure on Latrobe

You can tell Lure’s popularity by the long line of people waiting out the front. To avoid this just get there earlier. Or be patient. It will be worth it once you sit down. The staff are fun and the food is fab. Sitting out in the garden courtyard is a wonderful way to soak in some Vitamin D while people-watching the Latrobe Terrace pedestrians. The breakfast burger is incredible, and will leave you feeling perfectly content, and perhaps licking some aioli off your wrists.

Sourced Grocer

Sourced Grocer

If you’re after a hybrid morning of shopping for food and eating food then Sourced is the place for you. Amongst the fresh produce you can sit and enjoy some continental-style seasonal treats including the croque monsieur with Bangalow ham and gruyere cheese. The seating is casual here, so pull up a milk crate or take a seat on one of the steps and enjoy the communal vibe with the people around you.

11 Florence Street, Newstead; 07 3852 6734; www.sourcedgrocer.com

Paw Paw Cafe

Paw Paw Café

For something surprising on your breakfast menu, Paw Paw in Woolloongabba is the place to go. Surprising in a good way, of course. This gem has not been open long in Brisbane but its popularity proves that they are doing things very right. With inspiration from all around the world Paw Paw Café has an incredibly diverse menu. The corn cakes with chipotle sour cream and avocado is such a delicious breakfast that you may as well head home and go back to sleep, as nothing else as great is going to happen to you today.

Corner of Potts Street and Stanley Street, Woolloongabba; 07 3891 5000
