Book NowAbout Suupaa
Part Melbourne cafe, part Tokyo konbini, this Cremorne spot turns casual daytime eats into an artful comfort food run. Regulars line up for the fried egg sando—silky, steamed-egg custard wrapped in crunchy panko, layered with black garlic relish and curry ketchup on toasted shokupan. The kitchen serves juicy suupaachiki alongside salmon belly and mentaiko handrolls, while the drinks counter turns heads with iced matcha crowned in thick Milo foam or filter coffee finished with white chocolate miso cream. A retail wall stocked with pantry seasonings, books, and wrapped onigiri lets you pocket a snack before heading back out Dover Street.

Why Choose Suupaa
Why diners choose Suupaa for elevated Japanese comfort food, hybrid konbini culture, and effortless daytime stops.
Elevated Konbini Comfort Food
Diners enjoy expertly executed Japanese comfort classics such as crisp panko-coated fried egg sandos laced with curry ketchup and black garlic, alongside crispy age onigiri and balanced ramen.
The thin layer of panko coating was crispy and the egg was silky smooth, resembling a Japanese savoury egg custard.
Barry Creative Specialty Fusion Drinks
The kitchen presents inventive drink pairings you won't encounter at ordinary cafes, including rich iced matcha topped with sweet Milo foam and cold drip coffee finished with savory-sweet white chocolate miso cream.
You can really taste the quality of the matcha, and it paired so well with the Milo foam. The miso white chocolate coffee was surprisingly good—sweet, salty, and smooth.
Mashi_soyo Tokyo Konbini Retail Atmosphere
Browsing curated Japanese snacks, pantry condiments, and lifestyle publications inside the open retail layout creates an immersive Tokyo convenience store setting while dining or waiting.

Priyanka Patel Quick On-the-Go Daytime Fuel
Convenient grab-and-go options like freshly rolled onigiri, packaged katsu sandos, and drinks on tap provide swift, high-quality nourishment for busy Cremorne workdays.
I had a takeaway sandwich and coffee on tap the first time I went (I was in a rush) but will definitely be going back for a sit down meal.
Laurence Savin Ready-to-Go Market Sandos and Bites
A dedicated takeaway market section enables guests in a hurry to pick up pre-made chicken katsu sandos, bento, and hot drinks without waiting for full dining room service.
Yesterday I also grabbed the chicken katsu sando from the market side, so bloody good and great value too.

Fried Egg Sando
their signature egg sando is a one of a kind; rich and flavour packed from the sweet and savoury combination of the curry ketchup and the black garlic relish.
Barry Tonkatsu
Their tonkatsu is one of the best I’ve had crispy golden coating with a thick, juicy cut that’s not too soft or too tough.
Aim Tan Tan Noodles
The garlic noodles were packed with flavour
Mashi_soyo Suupaachiki
Highly recommend ordering the suupaachiki which is their take on the iconic family mart fried chicken. It was super juicy and paired well with the habanero hot sauce.
