Bonython Cafe sits quietly tucked away on Underwood Street in Paddington, making it a relaxed retreat for those who want to escape the busier main roads. This cafe feels like a green pause in the middle of the neighborhood, with plenty of natural light and plants lending a calming, almost garden-like atmosphere that invites lingering over coffee or a laptop.

The almond latte here is a highlight, likely to catch the attention of anyone looking for a well-crafted, thoughtfully prepared coffee option. The menu leans toward fresh and wholesome dishes, fitting the bright, airy setting and the health-conscious crowd that frequents the spot. It’s not a place for extensive dining choices but rather for simple, satisfying meals that complement the coffee experience.

Bonython is well-suited for remote workers or anyone needing a quiet corner to read or catch up on emails. Its vibe is subtle and unhurried, with friendly staff and a clientele ranging from locals popping in for a break to dog owners taking a moment to relax with their pets. The outdoor area, shaded and surrounded by greenery, adds to the laid-back, easygoing feel — perfect for mid-mornings or early afternoons when the sun softens and the pace slows down.

Overall, this cafe works best for those who appreciate a quieter, more intimate cafe environment that blends good coffee, simple healthy food, and a bit of greenery, all within a Paddington backstreet setting.

I love the ambience! Alfresco dinning style. It's a bit chilly but with the outdoor heaters it keeps you quite comfortable. We ordered split pea soup loaded with bacon, salmon bagel and sour dough egg Benedict on kale.
