Residing in a wistful schist stone building on the corner of Camp Street, odd saint is a neighbourhood eatery for those who worship great food and great service. Priding themselves on their warm and inviting atmosphere, the team here has a way of making you feel at home – whether you live around the corner or on the other side of the globe. 

Open from 7.30am every morning, you’ll find the same locals flocking here each morning desperate for their shot of eighthirty coffee. But when the opportunity to linger for breakfast, brunch or lunch props up, odd saint answers every hungry prayer. The menu invites you to head outside of your eggs benny comfort zone, with a melting pot of dishes inspired by worldwide destinations. Hoosier fried chicken, drive-thru brekkie buns (IYKYK) and fresh falafel salads are just some of the icons to have featured in the seasonal rotation. Cocktails are mixed up at every opening moment, with mimosa mornings featuring daily from 8am–12pm. 

The eatery’s bright décor mirrors its vibrant spirit. Burnt red finger tiles gleam around the curved bar, doodled walls throw in a good amount of cheek, a bright yellow La Marzocco coffee machine adds some extra buzz to your brew, and the thriving plant life indicates a home rooted in care and nourishment. The open kitchen adds another layer of liveliness to the space, creating a personal connection between the chefs and customers – so make sure you give them a wave on the way out.

Whether you're in for a quick coffee before work or indulging in a leisurely brunch surrounded by friends, the odd saint family promises a seat at their table for both newcomers and regulars alike.
