A Food Lover’s Guide to Hutt Street
When you stay at Hume Serviced Apartments, you're not just booking self-contained accommodation in the heart of Adelaide's vibrant East End—you’re gaining access to one of the city's most flavourful and diverse food precincts: Hutt Street. Whether you're after a gourmet coffee, a hearty pub meal, or a fine-dining experience, Hutt Street has something to tempt every tastebud, morning to night.
Here’s our local guide to some of the best dining spots along Hutt Street—all within walking distance from your apartment door.
Start Your Day Right: Sugar Man and Mascavado
If you’re a fan of flaky pastries, expertly brewed coffee, and that unmistakable scent of morning croissants, two places on Hutt Street will call your name.
Sugar Man is a croissant-lover’s dream. Known for its artisan baked goods and sweet creations, this boutique bakery serves up inventive treats that look as good as they taste. Grab a box to return to your apartment—or enjoy one of their outdoor tables if the sun shines.
Just a few doors down, Mascavado brings a European feel to Adelaide with its minimalist aesthetic and beautifully crafted cakes, tarts, and espresso. It’s the perfect stop for a slow morning or a mid-morning indulgence. Their use of seasonal ingredients and attention to detail make every visit feel like a special occasion.
Brunch & Light Lunches: Vespa Cafe Bar and Restaurant
For something more substantial, Vespa Cafe Bar and Restaurant is a local favourite. Italian-owned and operated Vespa offers breakfast, brunch, delicious pasta, and risotto dishes. This relaxed eatery is ideal for casual dining with high-quality food, whether after a traditional big breakfast, avocado toast with a twist, or a steaming bowl of Bolognese.
If you're staying at Hume Serviced Apartments, show your room key for a guest discount at Vespa. It’s another way to make your stay more enjoyable—and delicious.
Pub Grub & Drinks: The General Havelock Hotel
Looking for a hearty lunch, classic pub fare, or a drink with friends after a day exploring Adelaide? You can’t go past the General Havelock Hotel.
Affectionately known as “The Havelock,” this historic pub has been an East End favourite since 1873. Its grand facade, buzzing beer garden, and laid-back vibes make it a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re grabbing a schnitty and chips, enjoying a steak night, or sipping a local wine during happy hour, the Havelock delivers every time.
Hume Serviced Apartments has partnered with The General Havelock Hotel to offer exclusive discounts for our guests. Show your room key to enjoy more for less.
Coffee Stops & Sweet Treats: Bocelli and More
Bocelli is one of Hutt Street’s most iconic cafes. For over two decades, this Italian café and restaurant has served strong coffee, delicious cakes, and homemade pasta dishes in a stylish, sun-soaked setting. Their menu is extensive, the service is friendly, and the coffee is strong—what more could you ask for?
Whether you're grabbing a takeaway espresso before a meeting or sitting down for a relaxed lunch, Bocelli never disappoints. Guests from Hume often make it their daily ritual.
Stock Up Locally: IGA Hutt Street
If you prefer to cook during your stay (or need a few essentials), IGA Hutt Street is your local one-stop grocery shop. Located just a short stroll from Hume Serviced Apartments, the store has fresh produce, pantry staples, ready-to-eat meals, snacks, and more. It is ideal for those using the self-catering kitchens in each apartment.
Whether you're whipping up a homemade dinner or stocking the fridge with essentials for the week, IGA Hutt Street ensures convenience is always close at hand.
Dining In or Eating Out—You Choose
One of the best things about staying in our East End Adelaide apartments is the flexibility to enjoy the city on your terms. Cook a quiet dinner with groceries from IGA, or head out for a glass of wine and a perfectly grilled steak at the Havelock. Start your morning with a flaky croissant from Sugar Man or wind down with a pasta dinner at Vespa Café.
With all these culinary options within walking distance, Hume Serviced Apartments gives you the best of both worlds—self-contained accommodation in the Adelaide CBD, with an unbeatable food and drink scene on your doorstep.
