About Sister of Soul

Right on Acland Street, Sister of Soul turns plant-based dining into an easy win for mixed tables of vegans and committed carnivores alike. Sunlight washes through wide street-facing windows onto tables tucking into crisp Thai chive pancakes, sweet and sour mock pork, and savoury okonomiyaki. The kitchen runs all day without a mid-afternoon pause, making it just as dependable for 4pm cravings as it is for morning brunch. Customisations are handled without friction—think simple swaps like tofu scramble for eggs or almond feta over dairy, alongside clear gluten-free and allium-free markers. Settle into the outdoor seating with a hot toddy when the bayside air cools down, finishing on a slice of coconut and lime cake.

  • Crowd-Pleasing Plant-Based Menu: Plant-forward plates like sweet and sour mock pork, Thai chive pancakes, and okonomiyaki satisfy committed carnivores and plant-based diners alike.
  • Stress-Free Customisation: Clear matrix listings and easy swaps—like tofu scramble or almond feta—cater effortlessly to gluten-free, onion-free, and vegan requirements.
  • All-Day Kitchen Hours: Kitchen serves continuously well past typical lunch cut-offs, dishing up warm bowls, savory mains, and all-day breakfast into the late afternoon.
  • Breezy Beachside Atmosphere: Floor-to-ceiling glass and dog-friendly outdoor tables offer relaxed people-watching right along buzzing Acland Street.

  • Flavorful Plant-Based Dining That Satisfies Meat-Eaters

    Sister of Soul crafts plant-based meals hearty and rich enough that meat-eaters, flexitarians, and non-vegans feel completely satisfied dining alongside plant-based diners.

    We don’t eat vegetarian too often but this place made us not miss meat at all, the food was so flavourful and filling.

  • Customisable Dishes Across Multiple Dietary Requirements

    The menu offers clear dietary matrices covering vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, onion/garlic-free, and nut-free choices, alongside flexible substitutions like almond feta or tofu scramble.

    I loved that you can decide between the vegan or vegetarian options for things like feta and tofu/egg.

  • Reliable Cooked Dining During Late Afternoon Gaps

    While most daytime cafe kitchens shut down after midday lunch service, Sister of Soul provides continuous kitchen service and late-afternoon cooked dining past 2pm and 4pm.

    It's hard to find cafe style meals after 2pm sometimes, but Sister of Soul was open and almost empty at 4pm.

  • All-Day Breakfast Availability for Flexible Dining

    Breakfast favourites and wholesome brunch options remain available later in the day, giving diners flexible daytime comfort on their own schedule.

    I love that breakfast is served till late and of course absolutely love the fact that is purely vegetarian!

  • Vibrant Acland Street Setting with Natural Light

    The open-window dining layout and prime Acland Street location provide a breezy, naturally lit space ideal for relaxed Sunday meals and watching the street go by.

    Great Acland street location, outdoor seating and a bright, glass-filled interior with loads of natural light.

  • Relaxed Sidewalk Atmosphere and People-Watching

    Guests enjoy a welcoming setting with attentive service whether taking an outdoor table on St Kilda days or taking in the bustle through large windows.

    A regular favourite for a relaxed dinner watching Acland Street whirl past outside, but my friend and I just had the most incredible brunch.

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, dietary choices, and seating for your visit

  • Navigating Dietary Matrix & Swaps

    If you are navigating specific allergies or preferences, check the dedicated menu matrix which clearly distinguishes vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, nut-free, and garlic- or onion-free options, and allows swaps like tofu for eggs or almond feta.

  • Late Afternoon & All-Day Dining

    When other neighborhood kitchens close mid-afternoon, stop by between 2pm and 4pm for a relaxed meal, as cooked cafe favorites and all-day breakfast dishes remain available through the transition hours.

  • Seating for Conversation & Atmosphere

    Indoor dining features hard surfaces that can amplify noise during peak rushes, so choose outdoor pavement tables along Acland Street for conversational ease and open-air people watching.
