Located just across the road from the Darwin International Airport is the bustling Transit Lounge Cafe. Serving up delicious coffee and meals from 6am Monday to Friday, you should make this your go-to venue if you’re after a filling feed. We recommend the big bonanza breakfast served with eggs, bacon, mushrooms, tomato, a hash brown, baked beans and toast. Need something filling to takeaway? Try one of their scrumptious takeaway bacon and egg muffins; a filling treat you can eat on the run. Visit this friendly cafe for quality coffee and generous meals.
