Have you tried South Australia’s best breakfast?

In November 2023, Pony & Cole scooped up the title of “Best Breakfast” at the Restaurant & Catering Hostplus Awards for Excellence in South Australia.

In November 2023, Adelaide’s beloved cafe, Pony & Cole scooped up the title of “best breakfast” at the Restaurant & Catering Hostplus Awards for Excellence in South Australia.

Located in Hindmarsh, Pony & Cole has been a favourite among locals and visitors alike, known for its extensive breakfast and lunch menus. It’s the brainchild of Nicolle (Cole) Hahn and her partner Julie Pieda, situated within a transformed 1960s industrial warehouse.

Head chef Nicolle leads the culinary charge at Pony & Cole, emphasising freshness and house-made delights such as sausage, barbecue sauce, hash browns, and cheddar jalapeño bread. With a background rooted in her parents’ regional South Australian hotels, Nicolle brings a unique blend of expertise and passion to the table.

What sets Pony & Cole apart is not only their delicious dishes but also their commitment to nurturing culinary talent.

The cafe offers apprenticeships to aspiring chefs, a rarity in Adelaide’s cafe scene, providing them with a comprehensive culinary education that covers a wide range of skills, from bread-making to sauce preparation.

“They get a well-rounded education. They know how to make bread, sauces, stocks, and sausages. We change the menu around to upskill the apprentices and try to give them a wide range of experiences and build their confidence,” Nicolle said.

Suresh Manickam, CEO of R&CA, praised South Australia as a top food destination both nationally and globally, underscoring the global recognition of South Australian cuisine. This accolade for Pony & Cole further solidifies the region’s reputation for great food.

So if you’re on the hunt for anew breakfast spot or looking to impress interstate friends this weekend, make sure you check out Pony & Cole —you won’t be disappointed.
