About ZOOBIBI

Part design boutique, part Mediterranean daytime spot—ZOOBIBI weaves cafe tables right among curated home goods and lifestyle shelves in Hawthorn East. Regulars drop in to browse ceramic homewares before sitting down to brunch. The kitchen turns Melbourne morning staples on their head, drizzling pomegranate molasses over smashed avocado, pairing it with pan-fried sujuk, or plating Moroccan lamb and halloumi benedict alongside crisp potato cubes.

  • Retail-Showroom Dining: Seating areas sit directly inside a lifestyle and home decor boutique, letting you browse while waiting for your order.
  • Mediterranean Morning Plates: Brunch staples get savory twists with sujuk, pomegranate molasses, Moroccan lamb, and halloumi.
