About Dish & Spoon Cafe

Dish & Spoon trades predictable breakfast staples for chef-driven Middle Eastern plates pulled together in a leafy corner of Camberwell. Regulars bypass standard bacon-and-egg plates for green chermoula scramble served with smoked tahini yoghurt, garlic-rubbed Turkish bread, and walnut paste. The kitchen quietly splits shared dishes onto separate plates before they hit the pass—a subtle touch matched by staff who remember previous orders. Twin La Marzocco KB90s keep pace at the coffee bar with single-origin pours, while the airy dining rooms open out toward a dog-friendly garden patio. Morning plates often finish with fresh-baked apple coconut muffins and house pistachio lattes.

  • Middle Eastern breakfast plates: Scrambled eggs spiked with green chermoula, served with smoked tahini yoghurt and garlic-rubbed Turkish bread alongside hearty breakfast mezza plates.
  • Intuitive dish splitting: The kitchen proactively divides shared pasta or scramble orders onto separate plates without being asked.
  • High-spec coffee setup: An espresso bar running twin two-group La Marzocco KB90 machines alongside varied bean origins and specialty pistachio lattes.

    Creative specials and chef-driven options like the Breakfast Mezza and XO kingfish elevate breakfast into an upscale dining outing.

  • High-Spec Specialty Coffee Bar

    Espresso service is anchored by twin two-group La Marzocco KB90 machines delivering rich, prompt specialty coffees with multiple origin options.

    The coffee is immaculately delicious, very well induced from the twin two group LM KB90s.

  • Unprompted Split Plating for Sharing

    When parties mention sharing an order, the kitchen proactively divides dishes into separate individual plated portions without being asked.

    Today, we ordered a pasta dish to share, and the staff went above and beyond by dividing it into two smaller plates without us even asking.

    My sister went for the Lobster Roll and it was pure indulgence — soft brioche, juicy seafood, and a lovely sauce.

    The second dish we had was the Dish & Spoon Bomba—super generous portions with thick-cut smoked bacon and a crispy potato paste ball on the side.
