Popular Melbourne cafe chain expands with new eatery at Adelaide Airport

A popular Melbourne cafe chain has expanded with a new location at Adelaide Airport, which is its 14th location open now!

EARL, the popular Melbourne cafe chain, has landed at Adelaide Airport. It’s an exciting new step for founders Simon O’Regan and Jackie Middleton, as they open their 14th cafe at one of Australia’s busiest airports this December. What better place to bring EARL than Adelaide, a city known for its amazing food, wine, and hospitality?

Founded 15 years ago in Melbourne, EARL has become known for serving fresh, high-quality meals in a fast-casual setting. Now, with this new location at Adelaide Airport, the brand is expanding into a city whose love of good food fits perfectly with Simon and Jackie’s passion for hospitality.

EARL has always been proud of its strong ties to local suppliers and regional ingredients. For the new Adelaide cafe, they’ve partnered with some of the best local producers. Sourdough bread comes from the famous Skala bakery, and small goods are sourced from Barossa Fine Foods, so that every bite has a true South Australian flavour. Plus, there’s a brand-new range of Iced Signature Drinks exclusive to Adelaide!

The opening of EARL at Adelaide Airport also coincides with the launch of the brand’s new identity, EARL REAL. This refreshed brand focuses on “real good, real fresh, real honest” food, which reflects EARL’s commitment to quality and integrity. The new branding is now being rolled out in both Melbourne and Adelaide, unifying EARL’s presence across Australia.

EARL is no stranger to busy locations like airports and stadiums. Their partnership with Delaware North has been key to the brand’s growth, and the new Adelaide Airport cafe is a great extension of that success.

“We are thrilled to bring EARL to Adelaide Airport in partnership with Simon, Jackie, and the EARL team. Our nearly 30-year partnership with Adelaide Airport reflects our shared commitment to delivering high-quality dining experiences for travellers,” Gary Brown, Managing Director of Delaware North, said.

“EARL’s focus on premium, fresh, and local offerings makes them a perfect fit for Adelaide Airport, a gateway to one of Australia’s most celebrated food and wine regions.”

The new EARL at Adelaide Airport features a menu of sandwiches, salads, and special Adelaide-only options. With their focus on premium ingredients, EARL continues to lead the way in fast-casual dining, delivering high-quality meals that customers can trust.

As well as the exciting new cafe, Adelaide Airport is celebrating the festive season with some great offers. Shoppers can enjoy discounts at stores like Mimco, Seed, Oxford, JB Hi-Fi, and Globite. It’s the perfect time to do some Christmas shopping and enjoy the holiday atmosphere at the airport.

And there’s more! If you spend $100 or more in a single transaction at participating retailers, you’ll get up to three hours of free car parking. With the airport open every day from 5am to late, there’s no better time to visit and enjoy the festive cheer.
