About Reuben Hills

Surry Hills micro-roasting meets Latin-leaning brunch plates in a converted, exposed-brick industrial warehouse on Albion Street. Melbourne energy cuts through the morning rush—baristas pulling shots from daily rotating beans, the room humming with communal tables and sunny outdoor bench seating. Regulars head straight for the signature Not Reuben toastie stacked on crunchy rye, followed by crispy dirty bird chicken or soft baked eggs. Tables fill quickly on weekends, but orders land fast alongside house-specialty cold brews, iced matcha lattes, and thick-cut walnut banana bread topped with mascarpone and honey.

  • Micro-Roastery Coffee: In-house roasted beans across daily rotating single origins and specialty vanilla oat cold brew.
  • Inventive Brunch Plates: Bold Latin-influenced plates including the signature Not Reuben brisket toastie and spiced dirty bird chicken.
  • Converted Warehouse Space: Exposed brick, moody bar stools, communal bookstore tables, and sunlit outdoor bench seating.
  • Walnut Banana Bread: Thick-cut walnut banana bread finished with silky mascarpone and honey.

  • Inventive Latin-Inspired Brunch Classics

    Inventive savory plates like Huevos Divorciados and baked dishes arrive balanced and flavorful alongside meticulously extracted espresso.

  • Communal Share Tables for Group Hangouts

    Communal bookstore-style share tables offer plenty of space to catch up, share multiple dishes, and enjoy drinks together.

    We were sat at a share table, a sort of book store table if you will. Very nice lighting and the interior decoration is suitable for photos.

  • Pancakes

    Their pancakes were very good, not too sweet with the mascarpone cream 10/10.

  • Double Smashed Burger

    I ordered the Double Smashed Burger. I don't know what they put in it. I don't WANT to know what they put in it. What I know is that I am a grown adult man sitting in a café in Surry Hills and I am genuinely emotional about a burger.

Before you head over

Practical timing, seating, and ordering tips for visiting this bustling Surry Hills staple.

  • Opt for Bar Seating to Beat Peak Weekend Waits

    Expect weekend brunch queues and wait times of up to 40 minutes for larger groups, but solo diners and duos can often be seated much faster by asking for bar stools.

  • Prepare for Communal Share Tables and Compact Spaces

    Communal bookstore-style tables and indoor dining spaces can feel cozy and packed together, so be prepared for shared tables and swift service during morning rushes.

  • Ask Staff About the Daily Rotating Brews

    The venue features rotating batch brews and cold brew beans daily without a display board; ask staff directly about the current origin or bean profile when ordering.
