Loved it.....
Gorgeous Quaint little coffee shop hidden away from all the hustle n bustle....
Delicious food & an assortment of homemade gifts; candles; jewellery; canvas paintings - felt like a little country coffee shop.... :)
Dan, Amanda and crew are amazing and so welcoming! Can't recommend Ethels higher enough - amazing food, tea, friendly staff and family friendly. Always our go to stop when in the city. You guys rock š
What a wonderful little place for young and old! Fantastic menu- the kind of menu where it takes you forever to decide what to have because everything sounds delicious!
The staff are super friendly and happy to cater for little ones- high chairs provided and they even have a full set of ikea plates, cups and cutlery available- we didnāt even have to ask for it!
We will definitely be back!
This cute tucked away place will have you feeling right at home. Great coffee, service and treats on offer. Been here a few times and itās been just as good each time. Love the shopping items and artwork, have picked up some great gifts for friends and myself here. Clean and simple menu for brunch options. Locally sourcing and supporting is always a win in my books.
Food 1.5: simple melbourne style Food , good coffee
Atmosphere & decors 1.5: yep again Melbourne style and I love how there are handcrafted things to check out while waiting for Food.
Service 1: lovely!
A nice hidden little cafe along Melbourne st. set back from the road. Went at lunch time and wasn't too busy. A wide selection of bagels on their menu. I have heard many good things about their coffee, it was nice, however we weren't blown away by it. The staff were friendly and there were cute handmade items for sale.

E for Ethel is tucked away behind parked cars in a group of shops set back from Melbourne Street so it can be easy to miss but it is worth looking finding. I went there for the first time on 14 Feb 2017 and found the decor to be fresh and clean - so it could be that it has changed since other reviewers have been there. The service was very friendly and quick, and the smoothie bowl fresh, tasty and well presented. The soy coffee while a little on the weak side was still fine and the sizes offered were generous.
The range of interesting gifts adds to the experience - they are not cheap but many of them are handcrafted which always add to the cost. I found the presentation non-intrusive and added to the fun feel of the ambiance of this place.
Summary: Great service and good food; coffee okay. Good value with realistic prices. Fresh and fun ambiance, and laptops and meetings seemed welcome (free WIFI as well). Plenty of parking on the streets either on Melbourne Street or in the side streets - pay attention to the restrictions on time as there are parking inspectors on some days. Open 7 days 9am to 4pm which could make it a little late for the breakfast crowd but it is good to find a cafe open later in the day. Worth a try? Absolutely - I am pleased to have found this little place in this part of the city and will be going back again ... and probably again.
I was really impressed with the lunch I had here with my client. After reading the reviews I was skeptical but we had brilliant happy and friendly service. I found the reviews the complete opposite to my experience. It had a homemade and earthy feel to the food that made it kitsch. The food was very fresh and healthy.. after a big weekend it was perfect to help get me back on track. It certainly beats the common loud and cookie cutter cafes that seem to be popping up everywhere. I hope this place thrives and survives in this overly critical world of social media beat downs. I will be back and so will my liver to get some more healthy choices! Well done who ever is at the helm
This cute cafe located on Melbourne street is a hidden gem. They serve great coffee as well as a range of sweet and savory breakfast and lunch options at reasonable prices. My favourite thing about this shop is the range of gifts they have for sale. There are things for everyone and lots is locally made, so if you're ever in the area pop in and you'll never know what you might find. E for Ethel is a great place to catch up with friends for brunch during the week or weekend, give it a go and support small business.
The first time I visitedĀ E for Ethel I was lunching with a fellow foodie. What I came to discover was a brilliant space with good distractions, a cafe and store, store display carefully curated selling handmade things by South Australians. Great support for local business. Service friendly with a smile and then came the food....the delicious food.

Love, love, love this place! My work colleagues and I were looking for a new place for lunch on the weekends and we have definitely found a keeper! E for Ethel is tucked away in some shops off Melbourne street and it is a very cute and inviting place. The service was so friendly and efficient, very warm and welcoming as well. The lunch menu is great with a choice of salads or sandwiches. I had the smashed avo and quinoa on rye and absolutely loved it! Very tasty dish with corn, tomatoes and feta and the rye bread they use is so good as well. The dessert cabinet is also impressive with a large selection to suit a variety of dietary requirements. I was impressed to see a fructose free dessert, coconut choc pudding with macadamia crunch, made by Sweet Lola. I got that takeaway for afternoon break and it was so yummy! The cafe is also a shop with a range of very eclectic gifts and cards, some cool little presents there. Can't wait to go back and try the chorizo salad and some of the other desserts.
E for Ethel is my favourite cafe in Adelaide (probably Australia, and maybe even the world) š. The coffee here is GLORIOUS. And the food is always beautifully fresh and satisfying. Using simple, clean flavours and a variety of texture to complete the experience.
I can come here and sit and write for hours while Amanda, the ultimate host, makes you feel as if you're an old friend who's wandered in for a coffee at her kitchen bench.
This also happens to be the perfect place to pick up anything you may need in terms of gifts, and at the same time you'll be supporting local artists who sell their wares through E for Ethel.
Love love love this place. It's a little slice of heaven.
E for excellent! Hidden cafe through boom gates on Melbourne street. We parked on Dunn St and crossed over. Good homemade food, nice coffee and good service. There was an acoustic guitarist playing inside mid afternoon (Iām not sure if this was once off due to Fringe or a regular show) with smooth tunes to eat to.
Iām normally a pancake lover for brunch. But I couldnāt pass up the lemon curd French toast! The flavor it fantastic!! I love the location. I felt like a true Adelaide local! On my top 5 brunch places in Adelaide for sure!!!
A great coffee for my Friday! Good temperature when served, foamy forth, and the strong flavour (but not burnt) from quality beans.
Such a lovely spot...hidden in a cosy nook. Coffee and turmeric are just the best! Will be back to try the bagels.
E for Ethel has been a weekly staple of mine for the past couple of years. Everything on their menu is incredible and is complimented perfectly by their insane coffee. Hands down the best in Adelaide! Always the first coffee place I suggest to friends if they in need of a brew :)))
Amazing, great prices, services and atmosphere. A hidden gem. Good selection of well priced arts and crafts ideal for presents
