Bloc145 Cafe & Restaurant Redfern

Right off Redfern Station—a brilliantly spacious, light-filled spot pushing the boundaries of the standard Sydney brunch. Those who frequent the inner-city cafe circuit know Bloc145 is doing something distinctly different. We’re talking killer wafu Italian crossovers—think umami-heavy mentaiko smoked cod linguine—alongside a wildly inventive shakshuka gnocchi. It’s a bold menu. Big, unapologetic portions. Brunch enthusiasts are constantly dropping pins here for the towering, famous strawberry pancakes and vibrant butterfly pea tea. The espresso? Proper extraction and rich crema, pulling what many consider the finest shots in the postcode. Plus, it’s fiercely dog-friendly—they even stock pup treats at the counter. Perfect for a quiet remote-work session or a massive birthday spread. Grab a condensed milk iced matcha, snag a sunlit table, and settle in.
