About Ironwood Cafe

Perched near the Woolwich foreshore, Ironwood Cafe delivers generous Mediterranean plates and house-baked Greek pastries in a lively room. Locals gravitate here for big daytime gatherings and post-walk flat whites. The kitchen handles everything from crisp zucchini flowers and wood-fired pizza to fresh fish tacos and tender lamb souvlaki. Front counter glass displays draw eyes immediately—stacked high with baklava, flaky spinach filo, and cakes ready to take away.

  • Pastry counter selections: Glass cabinets showcase fresh in-house Greek treats, crisp baklava, and cakes alongside daily espresso.
  • Mediterranean all-day menu: The kitchen moves easily between daytime brunch plates, wood-fired pizza, and Greek souvlaki platters.
  • Effortless group gatherings: Spacious seating and patient staff handle large family birthdays, toddlers, and walk-ins smoothly.

Beloved brunch and Mediterranean lunch dishes

  • Lamb souvlaki plates

    two lamb souvlaki plates - was delicious. Chips were perfectly cooked, salad was full of flavour and not too heavy on the onions, and the lamb was tender and delicious. Generous serving too.

  • Fish tacos

    I would have to say they were the tastiest and freshest fish tacos I have had. Even the tortilla wrap tasted as if it was just freshly made on premises.
