About Johnny & Lyle's

This buzzing High Street morning haunt dishes out bold barista pours and all-day breakfast plates in an inviting, weather-ready garden courtyard. Morning regulars congregate over thick crema espresso and plates of chilli scrambled eggs paired with fresh Vietnamese salad. Diners modify plates on a whim with gluten-free toast, sweet potato hash browns, or stacks of shareable pancakes for the table. Kids dip into the sandpit while dogs sprawl out in the shade beside heaters that ward off river-town chill.

  • All-Weather Courtyard: Dine under shade or beside winter heaters in an open-air garden featuring a dedicated kids' sandpit and dog-friendly seating.
  • All-Day Custom Breakfast: Order morning staples from opening to afternoon, with flexible modifications, vegan choices, and gluten-free breads.
  • Barista Coffee & Standout Plates: Espresso pulled with thick crema anchors a table spread of chilli scrambled eggs and blueberry panna cotta with passionfruit jus.
