The Collins Quarter

"The Collins Quarter is an Australian-inspired cafe that opened in 2014 and should be your destination for petal-sprinkled lavender lattes and smashed avocado toast with beet hummus. While they have seats inside and out, we love the light-filled indoor space with vases of flowers on every table, especially at brunch. While their Forsyth Park location is bigger, there’s nothing quite like people-watching at the cafe tables downtown, especially once you get your spread of delicious shakshouka, biscuits and gravy, and an Australian flat white." - caroline eubanks

"The brunch shift is the most popular shift at both locations of the Collins Quarter, and it lasts until 3 p.m. daily. Modeled after Collins Street in Melbourne, Australian-born owner Anthony Debreceny used specialty coffee and standard yet innovative breakfast foods as the basis of his restaurants. Menu favorites include bananas Foster French toast and shakshuka. The Collins Quarter’s second location is in Forsyth Park, and was a genius addition to the city’s 30 acre green space. Here, the takeaway coffee and pastry window lets visitors enjoy their morning without the inevitable wait and head straight to the park." - Elizabeth Bowers

"As a port town, Savannah has a wealth of international influences that have permeated its dining scene, and one of the farthest flung is Collins Quarter, a modern, Melbourne-style cafe. Tall ceilings and large windows give the dining room a good amount of light during the day, when it functions as a bustling coffee shop and all-day brunch spot. At night it transforms into a candlelit brasserie. But the brekkie is what you're here for: a tasty breakfast sandwich with tangy bacon jam, bananas Foster French toast, and short rib hash." - Paul Oswell

"Aussie brekkie at its best The crowd Shoppers and shakers The drinks Coffees and cocktails The food Familiar and far-flung faves The service The art of Aussie hospitality" - Paul Oswell
