Culinary Delights: The Burrow Cafe excels in serving mouthwatering breakfasts and lunches that combine flavor, freshness, and creativity. Start your day right with their Guilt Free Açai Bowl—a vibrant blend of toasted granola and seasonal fruits elegantly paired with either Açai or yogurt. For something heartier, don't miss the Micky D's English muffin, boasting a fried egg, melted cheese, and an irresistible Big Mac sauce, with the option of crispy bacon or house-made sausage to elevate the experience. Lunchtime offerings are just as tempting, especially the Souths Schnitty sandwich—a generous chicken schnitzel draped in garlic mayo, nestled within a toasted Turkish roll.

Good place for mothers to meet up over coffee as there are large tables with spacious perimeters for prams. I also like their pastery selection.

We visited The Burrow Cafe near Heffron Park after a recommendation from our neighbours, and we’re so glad we did (been there 5 times since). The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, the coffee is spot on, and the South Schnitty sandwich is absolutely sensational. It’s quickly become a new local favourite. Highly recommend!

We are very happy with our catering experience from the Burrow. The guests all raved about the quality, especially the salads, and the platter display was beautiful. Highly recommend.

Love this place. Super convenient, clean and nice ambience. I usually go there for the sports events and classes and so happy to know there is a full cafe with seatings right in the centre. The food always yummy, fresh. I tried the Steak out sandwich and the lamb wrap, highly recommended!!!

The Burrow Café – 5/5 Stars As former café owners ourselves in Brisbane, we know great service when we see it — and Ricardo truly went above and beyond for us! As Brisbane Broncos fans visiting Sydney for the first time, we felt incredibly welcomed and appreciated the warm conversation and genuine hospitality. It made our visit all the more memorable. We’ll definitely be back next year when the Broncos are in the premiership again. Thank you once again for such a wonderful experience. – The Gillis Family

Visiting from California [San Diego], wanted to get some clothes at the Rabbitohs store [well worth the trip!] and decided to have lunch at The Burrow. What a pleasant surprise! Great selection of healthy items and delicious coffee. Plus, just a fun atmosphere-seemed like many folks from the local community were stopping in for lunch or a coffee. Liked it so much I went back the following Saturday morning [first visit was on a Wednesday], somewhat more crowded with kids and adults, no matter, same great food and atmosphere. What a nice community asset-beautiful sports facility and a wonderful cafe.

Where does one even begin to describe the experience that is a trip to the burrow. As a daily visitor, I can’t speak highly enough of the absolute gold standard in service and hospitality always being greeted with a smile, by name and in the case of my 2 year old daughter, a high five or hug. The menu provides a plethora of options for all dietary styles while the kids menu is one of, if not the best around these parts. I’m by no means a coffee snob, especially as a bunnies supporter but the time and care that has been taken in selecting the DeLuca Beans is proven in the taste and aroma of their exceptional coffee. Well done to Riccardo and the whole team for making this daily experience feel like being a part of this community.
