This sunny Ashbury corner turns classic Inner West brunch on its head with authentic Syrian cooking. While morning commuters grab quick flat whites and bacon-and-egg rolls, regulars sit down for levant eggs on toasted bread or the Syrian falafel wrap stacked with tart pickles. The kitchen works shanklish into cheesy potato bakes and packs spiced beef into a kafta burger. Shelves by the counter carry house-made hommus, bottled relish, and the owner’s Syrian cookbook to take home.
- Syrian-Mediterranean Menu: Spiced Syrian falafel wraps, Levant eggs, and kafta burgers elevate traditional Australian cafe breakfast and lunch staples.
- Pantry & Cookbook Retail: Pick up house-made hommus, jars of relish, dry goods, and the owner’s Syrian cookbook right from the cafe counter.
- Community Sanctuary: Warm, attentive family hospitality where staff adapt dishes for dietary needs and treat neighbors like family.
