About poketto

Tucked just off Cleveland Street, poketto swaps predictable eggs on toast for comforting Japanese noodle bowls and quiet warehouse calm. Regulars head straight for the rich mentaiko udon tangled with shimeji mushrooms, or the warming clam butter broth. The kitchen pairs thick slices of shokupan toast with savory cod roe melts alongside fragrant, unsweetened hojicha lattes whisked to order.

  • Japanese Comfort Noodles: Thick noodles tossed in creamy cod roe sauce with shimeji mushrooms, alongside comforting clam butter broth.
  • Pure Matcha & Hojicha: Whisked strong and served unsweetened by default, with honey available on request.
  • Quiet Warehouse Retreat: A calm, warehouse-style space with minimalist lines tucked into Chippendale side streets.

  • Inventive Brunch Alternatives

    Inventive dishes like dry-mince keema curry with egg yolk provide an inspired departure from standard morning fare.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of food does Poketto serve?

Poketto is known for Japanese-style brunch and noodle dishes rather than standard cafe fare, highlighted by rich mentaiko udon, butter clam udon, yuzu chicken noodles, and shokupan toast topped with mentaiko melt.

Are the matcha and hojicha lattes sweetened?

Yes. Poketto serves traditional unsweetened matcha and aromatic hojicha lattes with a pronounced tea flavor, and honey can be added upon request if you prefer extra sweetness.

Is parking easy to find around the cafe?

Street parking is available nearby with both free and paid options, but side streets around Dangar Street are narrow and spots can be scarce, so it is best to leave extra time to find a space.

Can you order food and drinks for takeaway?

Yes, takeout is available. You can order food items like the niku udon as well as coffees and specialty drinks to go.
