Our Story

Crafted with passion,

Ceremonial matcha and hojicha served in traditional Japanese teaware at Le Monde Cafe Surry Hills

Ceremonial Matcha

The matcha in Surry Hills
worth the walk.

We pour ceremonial-grade matcha sourced directly from three of Japan's most respected tea-growing regions. Each blend is chosen for its character — grassy and aromatic, or roasted and caramelised — so there's a cup for every mood.

  • Mizugaki Matcha Latte

    Single-origin matcha from Shizuoka, Kyoto & Mie — grassy, aromatic, with a balanced, slightly bitter finish.

  • Hojicha Latte

    Shizuoka blend roasted at 180°C — caramelised, nutty and 99% caffeine-free.

  • Matcha Cloud Hotcakes

    Matcha hotcakes with mascarpone, berry compote, seasonal fruits, pistachios and maple syrup.

"Fantastic coffee, beautiful atmosphere and genuinely excellent service."

James T.

"Such a great brunch spot close to Central station. We came back 3 times during our week in Sydney because the food is so good — highly recommend the French toast (best I've ever had), hot cakes and granola."

"Amazing smooth coffee! Got my food within 5 minutes and it's amazing. Very nice staff, even accommodated a menu item to my allergy."

Tess Gilbertson · Local Guide

"Le Monde quietly got everything right — friendly, relaxed service that made you feel welcome without hovering, honest food done well, and an atmosphere that invites you to slow down."

AmbassadorBas · Local Guide

"Come here if you love perfectly poached eggs and authentic matcha. I got the 'Hello Benny' with smoked salmon and a matcha with coconut milk — safe to say it's one of the best brunches in Surry Hills."

Maree Stephens

"Coffee so good we've been going for years. My friends and I love the cold brew and iced long black in summer — they put so much effort into the beans. The food is a must-try too."

Fable Hungry · Local Guide

"Great service, delicious food, nice coffee and plenty of room. Best French toast I think I've ever had. Highly recommend!"

Jodie Paul · Local Guide

"The place is 10/10 — everything was surprisingly amazing. We had the pesto pasta and halloumi muffin and they tasted heavenly. The coffee is so good too."

Reema Alharbi · Local Guide

"Probably the best plant-based dish I've ever had — tastes even better than real meat. The coffee is so nice too. Food, service and atmosphere all 5/5."
