About Bloc145 Cafe & Restaurant Redfern

Redfern locals duck in for morning espresso at the front counter before slipping past the glass into a quiet, leafy rear sanctuary. The kitchen runs an imaginative Asian-leaning brunch card—think creamy mentaiko linguine crowned with smoked cod and tobiko, savory okonomiyaki, or rich strawberry matcha shaken with fruit pieces. Furry companions can lounge alongside tables while sampling house-made dehydrated treats.

  • Asian-Fusion Brunch: Dishes pair cafe staples with Japanese touches, including mentaiko cod pasta, okonomiyaki, and strawberry matcha drinks.
  • Dedicated Dog Hospitality: Four-legged guests are welcomed warmly, with house-made dehydrated and freeze-dried pet treats available on-site.
  • Split Dual-Zone Layout: A brisk street-level coffee bar transitions into an airy, secluded back dining room set back from the noise.

Why diners and pet owners pick Bloc145 for brunch, coffee, and spacious dining

  • Flavorful Asian-Fusion Brunch Staples

    From mentaiko cod fish pasta to beef mentaiko bowls and Japanese curry, the kitchen delivers well-balanced Japanese and Asian fusion brunch fare.

    We ordered the beef mentaiko, mentaiko cod fish pasta, and Japanese beef curry — everything was absolutely delicious, and we finished every single plate.

  • Distinctive House-Made Pastas

    Pasta dishes balance richness and seasoning, featuring standout options like smoked cod linguine with tobiko and prawn chorizo spaghetti.

    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.

  • Dual-Zone Front and Rear Layout

    The venue layout separates a street-facing espresso counter from a spacious, quiet back room ideal for relaxed dining or focused laptop work.

    Front area will be the cafe area and the inside will be to dine in.

  • Calming Urban Oasis Atmosphere

    Tucked away from Redfern Street, the deeper dining room offers a calming escape with comfortable seating and ambient light.

    This place is like an enclosed urban oasis, so calm and comforting.

    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.

  • Strawberry Matcha

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