About Cafe Gather

Mort Street’s quiet strip trades cafe monotony for inventive morning plates. Canberra regulars step off the noisy Lonsdale corridor for a serious brekky—think soft shell crab scrambled eggs, savoury okonomiyaki, and house-fermented kombucha. Proper table service anchors the bright room and footpath seating—no QR codes required. The kitchen turns out Turkish eggs layered with chilli oil, capers, and yoghurt, served alongside warm toasted bread.

  • Inventive Fusion Plates: Inventive dishes like soft shell crab scrambled eggs, miso mushroom benny, and okonomiyaki break away from standard breakfast formulas.
  • Mort Street Sanctuary: Positioned off the busy Lonsdale corridor with dog-friendly alfresco seating and an unhurried neighborhood pace.
  • House Ferments & Coffee: In-house fermented kombucha and specialty kombucha cold brew complement an espresso bar pulling consistent morning roasts.
  • Dedicated Table Service: Attentive floor staff deliver traditional seated hospitality in place of self-service digital ordering.

  • A Peaceful Alcove Away from the Bustle

    Positioned off Braddon's main retail strip, the sunlit venue offers a serene setting insulated from the noise of Lonsdale Street.

    tucked away on Mort Street away from the bustle of Lonsdale Street. It has a calm, relaxed vibe which makes it perfect for a peaceful brunch or coffee catch-up.

  • Dedicated Sit-Down Table Hospitality

    Rather than relying on impersonal digital ordering barcodes, the team provides traditional, engaging sit-down table hospitality.

    Table service instead of QR codes was also appreciated.

    Menus clearly designate vegan and gluten-sensitive choices, backed by kitchen staff vigilant about special dietary preparations.

    Lots of vegan options, dietary requirements easily identifiable on menu and the wait and kitchen staff are very accommodating and careful of ingredients.

  • Smashed Avo

    Flavourful, beautifully presented, tangy, vibrant and just damn delicious.

  • Turkish Eggs

    Really enjoyed the Turkish eggs. The combination of creamy yoghurt, capers, chilli oil, fresh herbs and eggs worked surprisingly well together balanced, full of flavour and perfect with the toasted bread.
