About Cafe O-Mai

Trade routine eggs on toast for Annerley’s liveliest morning counter. Regulars pack the art-lined space for Vietnamese breakfast comfort—steaming beef pho, Aunty Five's lemongrass pork claypot, and crusty baguettes dunked into tomato quail-egg meatball gravy. It gets noisy and tables fill fast, though morning reservations keep groups sorted without the sidewalk wait. Purists take their time over the slow-drip phin, which delivers a dark, corn-free brew with real backbone.

  • Traditional Phin Coffee: Slow-drip phin coffee brewed pure without corn additives, served alongside specialty espresso.
  • Vietnamese Morning Staples: Savory alternatives to standard brunch, led by Aunty Five's lemongrass pork claypots and tomato meatball baguettes.
  • Generous Portions: Big, satisfying bowls of pho, loaded banh mi, and grilled meat noodle salads built for serious appetites.
  • Table Reservations: Rare for popular morning cafes, advance table bookings let groups secure seating without queuing.
