About Bloc145 Cafe & Restaurant Redfern

A quick hop from Redfern station, Bloc145 trades standard breakfast plates for wafu pasta and breathing room. Past the street espresso bar sits a wide dining room—a quiet hall turning out mentaiko cod linguine, shakshuka gnocchi, and strawberry pancakes. Station regulars claim the back tables for uncrowded work sessions, while dogs score house-dehydrated snacks right at the register.

  • Asian-Fusion Comfort Plates: Signature plates span rich mentaiko smoked cod linguine, chorizo prawn spaghetti, and shakshuka gnocchi.
  • House-Made Pet Hospitality: Welcomes four-legged companions inside with house-made dehydrated treats and greeting from resident pup Copper.
  • Dual-Zone Retreat: Splits a quick street-front coffee bar from a large, sunlit rear dining hall built for work sessions and group brunches.

  • Inventive Japanese and Asian-Fusion Pastas

    Chef-driven pasta and rice dishes weave Japanese and Asian culinary elements into hearty Italian formats, headlined by rich mentaiko smoked cod linguine, okonomiyaki, and XO chorizo spaghetti.

    Their Mentaiko Linguine taste exactly like what it’s suppose to be. You can taste both the creaminess and hints of Mentaiko that is not too overpowering, coupled with the cruch from the tobiko and a perfectly seasoned smoked cod.

  • Signature Matcha and Specialty Brew Craft

    Specialty drink craft extends beyond standard espresso into house creations like balanced strawberry matcha, condensed milk iced matcha, and refreshing butterfly pea tea alongside decadent sweets.

    The strawberry matcha was rich and perfectly balanced, not too sweet, with real strawberry pieces in every sip.

  • House-Made Canine Treats and Pet Hospitality

    Unlike standard venues that merely tolerate pets on the footpath, Bloc145 crafts and retails its own house-dehydrated animal treats inspired by resident canine Copper.

    They also sell and make their own dehydrated dog treats which they were initially made it for little Copper since he can only eat certain things so this show how much the owners love their fur baby.

  • Welcoming Indoor Pet-Friendly Environment

    Diners experience a genuinely welcoming cafe environment where pets are warmly hosted indoors alongside comfortable seating and thoughtful service touches.

    The staff are so lovely and always make you feel welcome. They have great food and the space is really cute/comfy. And it’s dog friendly!!

  • Dual-Zone Layout for Quick Takeaway or Dining

    The venue features an intentional two-part layout: a quick-service street-front coffee bar leading into a cozy lounge and a refined, separate formal back dining room.

    There are 2 sections in this place, the front side, facing the street is a coffee shop, with a beautiful display of baked items. A more take away or casual sitting arrangement.

    it was perfect and quiet with a big spacious dining area inside.
