Book NowAbout Soulmate Coffee
Tucked away on a leafy backstreet off Enmore Road, Soulmate Coffee dishes out inventive Inner West cafe classics with zero pretension. Seating runs purely on an arrival waitlist, so expect a lively sidewalk crowd catching morning sun on the concrete steps. The kitchen executes breakfast staples with punchy kicks—most notably the Soul b & e loaded with sambal and folded egg. Pair it with an oat cold brew or head to the self-serve taps for a fresh pour of batch brew before grabbing a buttered bread donut off the counter.
- Inventive Brunch Staples: Classic breakfast rolls and melts upgraded with bold twists like house sambal and folded egg.
- Leafy Backstreet Energy: A quiet street corner lined with greenery, concrete steps, and an arrival waitlist that keeps tables moving fast.
- Self-Serve Batch Taps: Pour-your-own batch brew taps alongside cold brew oat milk and fast-pull specialty espresso.

Before you head over
Practical tips on wait times, seating options, and coffee service for your visit.
Prepare for an arrival waitlist
The cafe operates purely on a walk-in arrival waitlist rather than booking tables online. Weekend morning dine-in waits commonly sit around 20 to 25 minutes, so plan ahead or put your name down early.
Opt for takeaway or the steps
If indoor table queues are long or you are tight on time, grab takeaway from the counter or take a casual seat along the outdoor concrete steps, which also easily accommodates dogs and children.
Explore unique coffee offerings
Filter coffee enthusiasts can take advantage of the self-serve pour-it-yourself batch brew taps, while large iced latte orders come standard with three shots of espresso.
