The Mayflower

Overview

The Mayflower, one of Darlinghurst's favourite cafes, is an opulent affair. Located in a 90s art deco building just down the block from East Village Sydney, it offers great breakfast and lunch options along with a classy range of cocktails designed to light up your afternoon. 

The venue is by Christian Lee and Kevin Ly (formerly Brewristas), who pay homage to the building's former florist with the greenery-filled, floral-themed cafe. Expect a millennial pink interior that's accented with onyx stone tables, resin pendant lights, abstract murals and lush installations.

The food offering at The Mayflower starts with the breakfast menu, with all the hits, including granola with fig jam and berries; eggs on toast with miso butter; smashed avo with coriander and lime and a big breakfast with eggs your way, chorizo, streaky bacon and baked tomato.

Elsewhere on the menu, you'll find a yellowfin tuna tartare, a croque monsieur with jamon serrano, and a wagyu cheeseburger. For dessert, you can choose between an affogato or mochi ice cream. The Mayflower hits the mark every time a new seasonal menu lands, and the stunning pastel surrounds never fade.
