YOUR FERRY ROAD COFFEE STOP

A window seat.
A proper breakfast.

Pull up a chair at Gentle Giant Cafe. There’s morning light by the windows, timber tables to settle into, and coffee at the counter.

Start with free-range eggs on sourdough or French toast with caramelised banana. Stay for a three-cheese kimchi toastie, sticky crispy chicken or Chi Bap with fried rice. From a quick coffee and a cabinet bite to a sit-down breakfast or lunch, there’s a little more to discover at 158 Ferry Road.

FROM THE KITCHEN

Sticky. Crispy.
A little spicy.

Sticky Crispy Chicken

$24

Crispy chicken with a sticky, spicy-sweet glaze. Lemon slaw and toasted sourdough alongside. A little heat, a little crunch, and a good reason to stay for lunch.

AT THE COUNTER

Coffee in hand.
Something sweet.

Take a look through the cabinet for a little treat to go with your coffee. Cakes, pastries and a seat by the window — make a little time for yourself.
