Brunch today, halloumi bagel for me, broccolini bagel for my daughter and steak sandwich for hubby, all absolutely delicious, we couldn’t believe the quality and size of the steak on the sandwich, lattes and caramel milkshake also great. Lovely service and atmosphere. Thank you. Looking forward to next time.

Popped into Drummer Boy Cafe after seeing some complimentary reviews, and was not disappointed. Parking is a little tricky in this busy Port Adelaide area, but it's worth making an effort. Coffee was smooth, flavoursome and satisfying; especially paired with some delicious toasted banana bread. My friend had some scrambled eggs that were attractively yellow, soft and fluffy. Seating is available in two separate rooms, as well as outside. Service is provided 'with a smile' and adds to the friendly atmosphere.

I’ve been here a few times and thought it was time for a review. Coffee is consistently good and I’ve had both almond and skinny cappuccinos. Dirty chai’s are also very well made. As for bagels and brunch, also can confirm they are high quality. Brekky burger is big and generous with the portion of bacon and so on. Salmon bagel was nice with decent serve of salmon. The double ham toast or is off the charts. Thick bread, golden brown once toasted and epic mix of flavours. Definitely recommend giving that a go. We also got a cookie on the way out which was tasty but a touch dry if I’m being picky. Overall, it was a good experience. Great cafe in the heart of the Port and worth swinging past for a looksie.

Warm, inviting and so friendly! I stopped by here yesterday for the first time and smiling faces greeted me. I ordered coffee and a ham bagel and both were delicious. The bagel was a treat, and it's filling was generous and fresh. It was so nice to feel welcome, to be served quickly and as my hands were full to have someone open the door on my way out and wish me a nice day. Genuine customer service, thank you so much. I'll be back for more!

The smoothies were amazing, so good we got more takeaway! The chilli scramble eggs were the best we've ever tasted. There was a very long wait for food and drinks, but worth the wait! We will definitely be back.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Drummer Boy Cafe in Port Adelaide is a gem! The dish I had was simply outstanding—avocado toast topped with a delightful mix of fresh greens, seeds, and a generous sprinkle of nuts, perfectly complemented by silky smooth smoked salmon on the side. The flavors were fresh and vibrant, and the presentation was impeccable. Every bite was a burst of taste and texture. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed breakfast. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a delicious and beautifully presented brekky.
