About Jesse's Cafe

This lively Rose Bay staple delivers genuine Jewish bakery craft alongside a dairy and pareve cafe menu. Locals drop in for boiled bagels, cinnamon babka, and braided challah before settling into the dining room for eggs Benedict with smoked salmon or hot shakshuka. Coeliacs make dedicated runs for house-baked gluten-free bagels sold fresh or packed by the bag for the freezer. Morning regulars grab flat whites and cinnamon rugelach on the run, while remote workers claim the back nook with Wi-Fi and power outlets.

  • House Jewish Bakery Staples: Traditional braided challah loaves, boiled bagels, cinnamon babka, and rugelach baked on-site.
  • Strictly Kosher Dairy Menu: A kosher dairy and pareve menu serving eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, shakshuka, and salads.
  • Coeliac-Friendly Bagels: Dedicated gluten-free bagels and bread baked fresh and packaged in bulk to stock home freezers.

Before you head over

Practical advice on kosher ordering, peak timing, and specialty baked staples at Jesse's Cafe.

  • Kosher Dairy & Pareve Menu

    Jesse's is strictly kosher dairy and pareve—expect salmon and fish options instead of ham or bacon for dishes like Eggs Benedict, and note that the venue closes early before dinner.

  • Friday Traffic & Seating

    Friday mornings bring heavy customer foot traffic and a bustling bakery counter; head to the quieter cafe side if you need a calm table to sit, work, or catch up.

  • Bulk Gluten-Free Bagels

    Coeliac diners can stock up on house-made gluten-free bread and boiled bagels, which freeze and defrost reliably for weekly household supplies.
