Soulmate Coffee

My friends and I heard really great things about Soulmate and had been wanting to try it for a while. Unfortunately it fell short of our expectations. We came on Saturday around mid morning. The cafe was very busy. We stood outside and waited about half an hour for a table. Once inside, it was noisy. I don't know if it was the acoustics of the place but the music and the conversations of others was very loud. It was hard for my friends and I to hear each other and maintain conversation. Service was initially good. Staff were very friendly, warm, courteous and welcoming. Our food and drinks came shortly after ordering which we appreciated. After we finished our food though, we wanted to order more drinks. We asked a waiter for the menu which was promptly brought to us. We waited some time however but no one came back. We did try and call a waiter over but still no one came. We eventually paid our bill for what we already had and left. I ordered the breakfast burger. I thought it was tasty. I found it to be on the expensive side though, especially in comparison to other cafes I have been to. By the time the weekend surcharge was added, it was almost $20. My friend ordered the Soulmate bae roll and found it to be average. Another friend ordered the avo toast. We all commented that portions were on the smaller side.

Soulmate Marrickville has a warm, friendly vibe with great coffee and a relaxed atmosphere. The menu is creative without being overcomplicated, and the staff are welcoming. A nice spot for both a casual brunch or just a quick coffee.

Loved this place!! Such awesome vibes, fun stuff and delish food. Got the coffee with cream (can’t normally get that in Australia gave me NZ vibes) and salad with a tofu scramble and loved it!! Friends porridge was also amazing.

The best cafe you’ll ever go to. Can the service be better? Sure. Although they have been getting friendlier lately! The food and drinks make up for it. Honestly, I’ve yet to try ONE thing here that didn’t taste heavenly. This place is unbelievably good.

The atmosphere is so beautiful there. Chairs to sit inside as well as outside enjoying the beautiful sunny weather. The food is so delicious. Crisp and perfectly made. The fried were also good. It was crispy and felt good to eat. The coffee options were also very great and reasonable pricing. The staff were so friendly and attentive. Overall it was a beautiful place to have breakfast or any other meal and friendly staff is a plus. And easy to find as well.

Having walked past Soulmate a few times before, I thought it about time I dropped by. There were four of us for brunch on a Saturday morning and not taking online bookings, it’s a waitlist in order of arrival. Every seat was taken and there was a constant stream of people for takeaway, obviously a very popular café! We ended up waiting about 25 minutes which yes is a while, but totally acceptable on a Saturday morning. People were continuing to arrive after us so that proves how good the café must be. Once seated and coffees ordered, the menu offerings catered for all. Vegan and vegetarian options as well as options for the carnivores among us. It was difficult to choose but we went with 2 vegan dishes and a couple of brekkie burgers. I almost ordered the hamburger, but my brain told me it was a lunch meal not a brekkie…. sheesh! The food arrived looking delicious and it tasted just as good. Vegan options (Tofu Scramble and Mushroom Melt) both got the stamp of approval as did our Brekkie Burgers. I particularly liked the folded egg on the burger, no runny yolks and just as tasty! The café is tucked away in a back street off Enmore Road and I’m guessing it originally began as a local’s hangout but has since become well known outside of the “bubble”. Definitely give Soulmate a go if you’re in the area. Just don’t do what I did…. go rogue and order the hamburger for brekkie! 😛

Popped in for a morning coffee and ended up staying for breakfast too. Even though it was a Tuesday, the place was buzzing! Definitely a cool vibe going on. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Bonus points for the playlist – they were spinning Wolf Alice and Inhaler at that time, which is totally my vibe 🤙🏻

Second time I’ve been here and both have been fantastic! The food is amazing - I’m really in love with the bagel with added tomato and haloumi - and the cold brew oat milk coffee is divine! The staff are always super friendly and helpful and it’s just such a lovely atmosphere. I love that the outdoor section is dog friendly so I get to spot super cute dogs whilst dining.
