Kepos Street Kitchen, Waterloo, Sydney
Oh my how I have missed the café scene in Sydney. Rocking up to a café, having breakfast with your friends, and having a very good meal and coffee! You don’t get that at all in Hong Kong – unless I have been going to the wrong places then please let me know!
I was catching up with one of my dearest friends, and we both have read about Kepos Street Kitchen, which is located on Kepos Street (doh!) where Strangers by Candy used to be. The chef behind Kepos Street Kitchen is Michael Rantisi ex Bathers’ Pavilion. Kepos Street Kitchen is opened for breakfast and lunch and the menu has a Middle Eastern twist to it. I had perused the menu quite extensively before going, and knew exactly what I wanted.
It was a bright and gorgeous day, I love the brightness of the café inside, it was tiny though, and I think you would struggle to get a table for more than 4. Thankfully I didn’t have to wait too long and got a table in less than 10 mins!
I couldn’t resist the mocktail – pomegranate mojito, I love the redness of the drink, it was refreshing and perfect for the gorgeous day.
M had the soy latte which she enjoyed.
I couldn’t go past the zucchini fritters with dill, smoked salmon and poached egg ($18). The fritters were a little salty for my liking but it was still quite delicious – moist and soft, and the poached egg oozed with yolk – how I missed a simple poached egg!
M couldn’t go past the ajeah – open herb omelette, kipfler potatoes, chorizo, sourdough ($16). This was simple but yet delicious.
Service was good considering how busy it was that day and food delicious. I saw someone order the dad’s favourite breaky – falafel, hummus, balneh, dukkah, hardboiled egg, tomato salad and schiacciata bread – it looked FANTASTIC! Will have to order that next time I am back!
Great café, I sure have missed the café scene!

welcome home! i love this place! we felt that the fritters were also a little heavy handed salt wise… but other than that, great place.
thanks uncle kewpie! ya mine was a little salty but was still ok. i really do like the place. HK needs more places like this!
Great photos! This looks like a yummy cafe and that mocktail looks so refreshing
That ajeah does look fab! I hate it when you get food envy though lol happens to me all the time
Love the post! I should get myself to Waterloo!!
I agree…the cafe scene in hong kong/asia just isn’t the same is it? although it seems to be coming up very nicely in singapore now!
Hope you enjoyed your trip back to Sydney!!
