What an awesome find! Set on a quiet street in Adelaide's CBD, the menu has some expected brunch items, but also some absolutely delicious fusion dishes. We had tuna onigiri and salmon ochazuke with an onsen egg and fresh side dishes - the radish pickles were laced with yuzu and the silken tofu perfectly garnished with furikake. The iced lychee and dragonfruit green tea with mint was super refreshing , and the coffee rich and robust yet creamy You should also try their orange and chocolate danish twist!

Such a nice, cozy cafe. Staff are super friendly and cheerful. I feel as if I’m in one of those cafe in a movie scene, that’s how peaceful the vibes are. Small indoor seating but also has outdoor seating. Food is really good, I highly recommend the rice balls and the caramel crunch latte. Wishing for the best for the business and I would recommend to anyone who loves good food and drinks. Take away cups also super cute and iridescent. Apparently there’s going to be some new items on the menu for next year can’t wait!

Had brunch at Late Mornings in Adelaide and honestly, I’m still thinking about the rose prawn udon. It was comforting, very rich and creamy. We also tried a couple of their matcha drinks and they were all . The banana matcha latte was surprisingly good (since I’m not really a matcha fan), the melon matcha was sweet and refreshing. The ambiance is so Instagramable. Of course, the service was commendable!

This restaurant was such a pleasant surprise! The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were incredibly generous—definitely great value for money. Every dish was flavorful and clearly made with care. One of the highlights was their Japanese soba — it was incredibly tasty, with a perfect texture and rich, well-balanced flavor. A must-try! Although it's located in the city center, the atmosphere is refreshingly cozy and calm. The decor is simple and tasteful, with a clean, modern touch that makes it feel warm and inviting. It's the perfect spot to catch up with friends over a meal or a cup of tea—very relaxing and not too noisy. The place is also extremely clean and well-maintained, and the service was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a comfortable and enjoyable place to hang out. You won't be disappointed!

Late Morning Cafe – Because who needs early mornings anyway? Rolled in at 11:47 AM, still got “breakfast” and zero judgment. Coffee strong enough to forgive my alarm for snoozing 5 times. Eggs? Fluffier than my life goals. Vibes? Somewhere between "I’ve got my life together" and "I just woke up". 10/10 would brunch again.

Based on a recommendation from a friend, I popped in for a quick bite. All I can say is don’t hesitate, get in there! What a charming, cozy cafe with friendly service and amazing rice balls. It was served whilst the rice was still warm, wrapped in crunchy seaweed and seasoned with deliciousness

The food was good and service was fast. I ordered the chicken sando, which was quite good, but I definitely had better (more sauce would make it better imo). My partner ordered the salmon onigiri and it was excellent. Finished it off with their matcha servings, which were great! Overall, not too bad. The space was a little ok, albeit a little on the cramped side, but overall, a solid cafe
