Book NowAbout Sonder Cafe
A sun-drenched Paddington refuge swapping run-of-the-mill breakfast for punchy Asian-inspired plates and inventive iced drinks. Regulars lean straight toward the savory hits—spicy wagyu ragu ladled over chewy tteokbokki topped with crisp enoki mushrooms, or a konbini-style fried chicken sando layered with rich egg salad and yuzu mayonnaise. The counter turns out serious cold refreshments too, from iced coconut cloud lattes to bittersweet taro matcha. In the courtyard out back, brunch stretches easy over charred grilled octopus and truffle-slicked udon carbonara.
- Spicy Wagyu Ragu Rice Cake: Chewy rice cakes tossed in a rich, spicy Wagyu sauce, finished with crispy enoki mushrooms.
- Konbini Chicken Sando: Juicy fried chicken packed on soft bread with rich egg salad, miso onion jam, and a touch of yuzu.
- Creative Cloud & Matcha Drinks: Layered specialty sips including coconut cloud lattes, taro matcha, and black sesame iced pours.

rich, flavourful wagyu ragu paired with chewy rice cakes made for the perfect comfort dish
Chanyeol Delight Konbini Fried Chicken Sando
Crispy fried chicken breast is layered with egg salad, miso onion jam, and a touch of yuzu mayo for a standout Japanese konbini sandwich.
The Konbini Fried Chicken Sando is the absolute MVP—the chicken is incredibly juicy, and the combination of miso onion jam and egg salad is genius.
Ines Ye Artisan Cloud Coffees & Coconut Lattes
Inventive cloud coffees and layered creations like the Iced Coconut Cloud Latte blend coconut water, espresso, and textured milk caps with toasted coconut flakes.
The aroma of Iced Coconut Cloud Latte blends well with the refreshing feeling of coconut. There is coffee and coconut water at the bottom.
Kris Xue Signature Specialty Matcha Program
The beverage program showcases layered matcha creations like Strawberry Matcha Dream, Twin Cloud Matcha, and Taro Matcha that go far beyond standard cafe drinks.
To drink, the Strawberry Matcha Dream is a must; the flavors blend perfectly without being overly sweet.

Before you head over
Practical tips on timing, drink pairings, and seating to get the best out of your visit
Arrive Early for Peak Hours
The cafe gets packed quickly on weekends and has a steady stream of regulars, so plan to arrive early to secure a table without waiting.
Balance Heavy Dishes with Lighter Drinks
If you are ordering rich, savory dishes like the Wagyu ragu rice cakes or fried sandos, pair them with tea or juice rather than dairy- or cream-heavy matcha drinks.
Pick Your Preferred Seating Style
Choose between cozy indoor seating or the sunny outdoor courtyard depending on your preference for a lively morning atmosphere.
