About Al Alamy

Coburg regulars make the detour to Waterfield Street for Lebanese baking served at speed. Fast-moving counter, zero pretense—the draw is freshly folded manoush, particularly the chicken and mushroom wrap hit with chilli. Orders clear in minutes despite the morning crush, alongside espresso poured dark and hot. Groups split breakfast platters of scrambled eggs and spiced sausage built for two, then raid the market aisles for jars of sweet pistachio spread.

  • Fresh-Baked Manoush: Soft-dough flatbreads and savory wraps, from chicken and mushroom to spiced meat, baked to order in minutes.
  • Shared Breakfast Feasts: Sprawling morning platters designed for two, loaded with scrambled eggs, spiced sausage, and fresh sides.
  • Imported Middle Eastern Grocer: A full market section stocked with regional spices, pantry goods, and popular pistachio spreads.
  • Fast Espresso Service: Reliably pulled espresso drinks keeping pace with high-volume morning counter traffic.

Why Choose Al Alamy

Experience Coburg's favorite Lebanese bakery and specialty market—plan your visit for freshly baked flatbreads and shared breakfast feasts.

  • Fresh, Soft-Dough Savory Manoush

    Bakers pull fresh manoush straight from the oven with tender, pillowy dough wraps packed with seasoned meats, chicken, and aromatic spices.

    blown away by the soft dough wrap and the full flavoured filling and the hint of chilli made a very welcome addition.

  • Authentic Lebanese Pastries & Flatbreads

    Traditional flatbreads, cheese pastries, and zaatar pies recreate authentic Lebanese recipes with uncompromised quality and generous fillings.

    Finally !! I found the authentic Lebanese Zaatar and Cheese pastry.

  • Abundant Sharing Platters for Two

    Abundant morning feasts like the Big Breakfast combine spiced sujuk, scrambled eggs, and traditional sides built expressly for sharing.

    Honestly, the Big Breakfast is definitely meant for two people—no matter how hungry you are, it’s not a one-person meal.

  • Communal Lebanese Breakfast Feasts

    Generously portioned Lebanese breakfast platters gather tables around foul mudammas, fatteh, fresh pies, and labneh for a communal morning spread.

    was enough to feed two people. Being of Middle Eastern descent, I can vouch that the food was fresh, delicious, and tasted like home.

  • Integrated Bakery & Grocery Browsing

    While hot bakery orders are prepped in minutes, visitors can explore the connected market aisles brimming with imported Middle Eastern pantry favorites.

    wandering through the grocery side is a great way to pass the 4 minutes to takes for my order to be ready.

  • Extensive Imported Regional Pantry

    Shelves stock hard-to-find regional dry goods, signature specialty dips, fragrant teas, and authentic Middle Eastern spices.

    They have a wide selection of Middle Eastern foods, spices, and ingredients.

    Aldawish

Fresh-baked Lebanese flatbreads, colossal breakfast spreads, and specialty market finds.

  • Za'atar Manakish

    Za'atar manakish doesn't seem like it could have much variability, but each ingridient is PERFECT.

  • Big Breakfast

    Loved their Big Breakfast! The scrambled eggs with sujuk were amazing.

  • Chicken and Mushroom Manoush

    I have never tried this before and was blown away by the soft dough wrap and the full flavoured filling and the hint of chilli made a very welcome addition.

  • Pistachio Dip

    Finished it off with a sweet touch: the pistachio dip. I’m a huge fan of this one.

  • Spicy Potato

    I also highly recommend the spicy potato (more aromatic than spicy - great for those of us that perish in the fires of Mount Doom).

  • Tea with Mint

    We also ordered a Spinach Pie ($5) and a pot of tea with mint ($6). Everything was PERFECT!

    Jo SB

  • Iced Coffee

    It was refreshing to get an iced coffee that wasn’t served in a tiny cup for once.

    The Moistmaker

  • Shanklish Pie

    My personal most favourite order is the shanklish pie, which I will eat for lunch literally every day when I am in the area.
