About Baba Sus

Tucked away on a leafy Glen Iris street, Baba Sus breaks the standard brunch mold with distinct, East Asian-inspired comfort. Regulars bypass standard eggs on toast for bowls of savoury congee and crispy pork belly balanced by punchy yuzu ginger tea. The marquee order remains the Hong Kong egg waffles—warm, blistered gai daan jai folded over rich custard, tart berries, and bitter-clean matcha ice cream.

  • Hong Kong Egg Waffles: Hong Kong bubble waffles served warm with custard, tart berries, and matcha ice cream.
  • East Asian Brunch Fare: Morning menus feature hot rice porridge and signature crispy pork belly over typical cafe standards.
  • Neighborhood Hideaway: Sun-drenched dining on a quiet residential corner in Glen Iris.

  • Signature Hong Kong Egg Waffles

    The cafe's signature sweet dish pairs warm bubble egg waffles with velvety custard, fresh tart berries, and rich green tea ice cream.

    The egg waffles with custard, matcha ice cream and raspberry coulis is amazing.

  • Comforting Winter Congee Bowls

    Hot bowls of savoury breakfast rice porridge provide a comforting, restorative start on brisk Melbourne mornings.

    It's rare to see rice porridge in brunch so I'm glad they have it! It's a great winter comfort food.

    Tucked into a quiet residential pocket, the dining room features expansive picture windows that flood the space with natural light.

    It has lots of great big windows which allows lots of natural lighting.

  • Hong Kong Egg Waffles

    We also ordered the Hong Kong Egg Waffles for dessert to share - and oh my god, this was heavenly. The custard, the warmth of the waffles, and the tartness of the berries all went so well together. The matcha ice cream was such a great addition flavour wise, as it wasn’t too sweet.

  • The Baba Sus

    The crispy pork (The Baba sus) was cooked to perfection. Crispy pork skin and super juicy tender meat.

  • The Piglette

    Baba Sus in Burwood is a vibrant café with a creative menu, but the Piglette is a standout. Fluffy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced, it’s a must-try dish.
