About 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.
