This Cafe Will Make You Fall In Love With Adelaide
Looking to brunch in Adelaide? Surely, Bottega Bandito is already saved on your Google Maps or TikTok, right?
If not, here’s why it definitely should be!
We’re lucky to call two of Adelaide’s most loved neighbourhoods home—Prospect and Rundle Mall. Whether you're soaking up the sun and exploring the trendy vibes of Prospect, or you’re in the heart of the city near the iconic Mall’s Balls, we’ve got you covered. Our Rundle Mall location at James Place is the perfect spot to soak in a vibrant atmosphere while enjoying the irresistible aroma of freshly baked focaccia and pastries from our micro-bakery.
Let’s be real—there aren’t many micro-bakeries in Adelaide, so you need to experience this. Picture the mouthwatering scent of fluffy focaccia and pastries coming out of the oven, filling the air with that sweet, irresistible scent. And the best part? Watching dough transform into pure deliciousness right before your eyes. Seriously, there’s nothing quite like it.
Baked Fresh Daily. That’s our motto. And yes, we mean it. But it’s not just about the bread. Our sandwiches (aka sandos) are legendary. Whether you’re craving cold cuts, a veggie-packed delight, or want to try one of our amazing monthly Friday specials, we’re all about fresh, top-quality ingredients that’ll have you coming back for more.
Oh, and did we mention our sea salt toffee cookies that has the perfect balance of salty and sweet? These cookies might not be Crumbl, but trust us, they’re the perfect sweet treat. You won’t want to leave without one.
With freshly baked pastries, focaccia, and locally sourced coffee brewed daily at both James Place and Prospect, Bottega Bandito is one of the few places in Adelaide where you can grab top-tier baked goods right in the heart of the city. Whether you’re craving something sweet, savoury, or just need a gorgeous spot to chill, we’ve got it all.
We can’t wait to show you why our food (and the city) will steal your heart.
“There’s a reason why this place is always so busy - not only is it a fantastic and tender interior, the food is absolutely incredible! With an increase in sandwich places around Adelaide this one remains at the top of my list. The focaccia is so light, soft and flavourful, and the fillings are amazing. Do yourself a flavour and try the Prosciutto Sando, the chilli honey is perfect on it.
They also have a lot of other non sandwich choices if you’re not a big sandwich person, though I haven’t tried any of those so can’t vouch for them. The other hot tip is try their fries. They are possible the best fries I’ve ever had, big call I know.
Service is friendly and prompt, but definitely book a table if you can because otherwise you’ll be waiting a while.”
