About Goode Manors

Sunlight cuts across vintage corner tables at this long-standing Glebe Point Road fixture, where morning coffee easily slips into an unhurried lunch. Patrons return for generous plates of mushroom and avocado on chia rye sourdough alongside bowls of fresh zucchini soup. Teapots arrive in heavy cast iron, while the kitchen brews its own spiced chai directly from tea leaves instead of syrup. In the bathroom, a hand-painted tile mural stands as an artifact of the building's bohemian past.

  • House-Brewed Leaf Chai: Spiced chai steeped directly from tea leaves in-house rather than poured from commercial syrups or powders.
  • Eclectic Bohemian Heritage: Cast-iron teapots, painted tile murals, and sunny window seats set inside an 1864 heritage corner building.
  • Generous Wholesome Fare: A menu anchored by dishes like mushroom avocado bruschetta, spanakopita, and zucchini soup.

  • Eclectic Bohemian Charm

    A preserved vintage interior featuring eclectic accents, cast-iron teapots, and hand-painted tile art enriches the historic 19th-century space.

    The atmosphere was nice and the décor was eclectic. A nice place to sit in the sun or the shade.
