SOULPLATE flips standard Sydney cafe rituals with bold Korean and Japanese brunch twists on Penshurst Street. Morning regulars line up early for Pablo & Rusty's coffee alongside house-baked pastries and croissants that vanish by midday. When it comes to plates, regulars lean straight into savoury indulgence—think rich XO crab folded into soft scrambled eggs, kimchi cheese toasties, and teriyaki salmon with noodles. Outdoor heaters and covered tables welcome neighbourhood strollers and pups alike, while bowls of kimchi okonomiyaki land steaming at the table.
- East Asian Brunch Twists: Daytime plates pivot toward East Asian flavors like XO crab scrambled eggs, kimchi okonomiyaki, and teriyaki salmon noodles alongside morning classics.
- Daily In-House Baking: Croissants, pastries, and sweets are baked fresh on-site daily and often sell out by lunchtime.
- Dog-Friendly Al Fresco: Covered and heated outdoor seating comfortably welcomes neighbourhood dogs and family morning rituals.
