Sydney cafés that are open on New Year's Day 2024

The pastry pundits are slinging all of their butter folded, sky high puffed and glazed goods to the Inner West at large on New Year's Day at A.P Town, in a tiny warehouse space just near the Marly, in addition to the OG outpost nestled in the rooftop of Paramount House Hotel.

What is a better remedy to one of the most colossal nights out in the year than carbs? This bakery/café from Luxe founder and incredible baker Simon Cancio and Mecca’s Paul Geshos is serving some of the best bread in the city. It’s dense, elastic and malty. If a sandwich doesn't tickle your fancy, the menu also features breakfast bowls and salads for the new year, new you. Make sure you head to Chippendale for your carb-fix because the Marrickville outpost will be closed on January 1.

Kickstart your New Year's resolution of waking up earlier with a morning bakery delight. Head out for a lamb sausage roll or a ginger brûlée tart from your friendly neighbourhood bakery. Aside from North Sydney, all the Bourke Street Bakeries around the city will be open. You can check out the varying hours on their website.

What's even better than a coffee after a big night on the tiles? A traditional Thai coffee with condensed milk. What's more, Boon also blends up restorative cold-pressed juices, and one of their croissants coated in pandan custard will have you back up and running in no time.

The classic shakshuka at this North Bondi café and bakery is the hands-down standout, but there are green and vegan variations on the theme as well. If it's been a real big night, a bowl of hummus with slow-cooked lamb will sort you right out. 

If you're around this corner of the Inner West with a ferocious morning hangover, you can score a life-giving caffeine at the Tiny Giant, along with enough fairy floss and biscoff spread to power you through to the end of January.

There's every chance carbs will be the first thing on your mind when you roll out of bed, and a bagel with smoked salmon will satisfy that craving like nothing else can. This Bondi mainstay will be open to sort you right out.

Both the Redfern and Potts Point outlet will be open nice and early to ply the greater good with flat whites and toasted bagels. The hole in-the-wall coffee shops are supplying all the Campos goodness for 2024. 

Start 2024 at the place where Sydney breakfast as we know it got its proper start. Hit up the Darlinghurst, Surry Hills or Bondi venues for a mean brekkie, lunch or dinner. You've got options aplenty with an Instagram-able spread of ricotta hotcakes, corn fritters and their legendary scramble. While you're there, make a toast to Bill Granger (RIP) himself.
