Greenknowe Cafe

The place is simple but well-presented—quiet and relaxing, perfect for a laid-back catch-up. The food was good; I had the Boomerang Beef Tapa, which, unlike the usual, had a more subtle flavour—not overwhelming, which I appreciated. Love their coffee, it was amazing. I also tried the Ube Latte -- a little ordinary for my taste but it wasn’t overly sweet, which I liked. Staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. We had booked in advance for a group of 7, which worked out smoothly. Parking was a bit tricky though, at 9 am on a Saturday, so I’m glad we planned ahead. Overall, the experience was good.

Being born and raised in Batangas, finding this gem in Sydney took me over two years and it was worth the wait. The lomi tastes just like home. The tapa is flavorful, and the ube latte with coconut milk is absolutely on point. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly, which adds to the warm, welcoming vibe. This spot has quickly become one of my go-to brunch places. Can't wait to come back!

I had been waiting for me to go to this place and try their Filipino innovated dishes. The place was cozy yet busy and green (of course ). The food was filling and delicious. I loved it and love to go back again to try more dishes. #greenknowecafe

Such an amazing Filipino spot! Greenknowe Café delivers delicious, authentic flavours in a warm and welcoming setting. The staff are absolutely lovely and friendly, attentive, and happy to chat about the dishes if you’re not familiar with Filipino cuisine. Everything we tried was packed with flavour and clearly made with care. It’s rare to find a place that feels this genuine and relaxed. Will definitely be coming back – a new favourite for sure!

Food: We had the crab omelette and the ube-ricotta pancake—both were absolutely divine. It was our first time visiting this café, and I’m so glad we did. I’ve been looking for a Filipino-inspired café, and I finally found this gem. For drinks, we tried the tablea chocolate and the ube matcha latte; both were well-balanced with just the right amount of sweetness for my palate. The adobo lumpia could have been a little more moist with a stronger adobo flavour, but the banana ketchup pairing was spot on. Service: Excellent service—quick, attentive, and very welcoming. Atmosphere: A relaxing spot with a warm, Filipino-inspired vibe. Perfect for enjoying today’s long-awaited sunny day in Sydney!

I'm quite picky with Aussie-fied Filipino food but this passed the vibe check! The flavor is there, just a teeny bit milder than the usual home-cooked Filipino food. I'd say the plating is top-notch, makes the dish a feast for the eyes too. Staff are nice and speak to you in Tagalog once they know you are Filipino. My favorite are the ube pancakes! Such a unique dish! Highly recommend this place!

Had an amazing Filipino brekky at this place! We tried their special lomi and as someone from Batangas, it truly tasted like home. The tocino had a unique twist that was absolutely delicious, and the ube meringue was the perfect way to cleanse the palate. I’ve been missing Filipino food, and this café hit the spot. Loved it!

Definitely a top favourite brunch spot! I loved that they take reservations and their overall customer service is the best. So nice to see a a modern Filipino brunch with unique drinks like the Spanish latte. Highly recommend the Ube Pancakes, everyone loved this! Location is also gorgeous. Well done to the Team!
