How we read reviews →Upwey's cosy neighbourhood cafe where Korean-fried-chicken banh mi meets great coffee on Main St.
Small, cosy and welcoming. a neighbourhood cafe with inside and outside seating that feels larger inside than its modest Main Street frontage suggests. The ambience is unhurried and community-oriented, with a loyal local following built around owner Joanne and her team. Regulars bring their dogs for pats at the outdoor tables.
Asian-inspired fusion menu running alongside classic cafe fare. banh mi, katsu sandwiches, gyoza, spring rolls, bento boxes alongside breakfast wraps, toasties and Ruebens. Takeaway dinner options available. Homemade cookies and sweet treats baked in-house. Dog-friendly outdoor area.
The Asian-inspired dishes reflect a creative, suburb-appropriate interpretation rather than strict cultural authenticity. think modern Australian cafe kitchen exploring Korean and Vietnamese flavours. The Korean fried chicken banh mi is the standout fusion item.
Mid-range pricing for an Asian-fusion cafe. some reviewers note it is slightly pricier than a standard banh mi roll but consider the generous portions and quality to be worth it. A minority found coffee pricing high for the area.
