About Sonny Ray

Locals drop into this Hawthorn corner haven for dialed-in espresso, crispy chicken katsu sandos, and unhurried hospitality. The team delivers takeaway cups directly on service trays, while the sheltered back courtyard welcomes prams and dogs beside plates of chilli scrambled eggs.

  • Tray-Served Takeaway: Takeaway orders arrive tableside or curbside on service trays rather than being shouted across a collection counter.
  • Pet-Friendly Courtyard: A sheltered back terrace makes room for pets, prams, and long mornings over Padre roast coffee.
  • Elevated Cafe Fare: Midweek lunch and brunch center on crunchy katsu sandos, savoury duck toasties, and chilli scramble.

Why Choose Sonny Ray

Thoughtful hospitality, pet-accommodating outdoor seating, and an elevated daytime menu in Hawthorn.

  • Tray-Delivered Takeaway Coffee

    Takeaway orders are served directly to patrons using a service tray rather than relying on standard counter calls.

    A unique touch I particularly appreciate is them handing over takeaway coffees with a dinner tray, something I've yet to see elsewhere.

  • Elevated Lunch and Brunch Menu

    Signature savory dishes like the chicken katsu sandwich offer satisfying lunch dining with generous portions.

    the chicken katsu sandwich was on point capturing all the essence of the katsu. Crunchy but not oily, cooked though but still juicy.
