Souli

You'll walk into Souli on George Street and immediately get why it's packed most mornings—the space feels properly thought-out, with natural light flooding through and a counter that draws you in. It's the kind of place where the staff genuinely care about what they're making, whether that's a flat white or a grain bowl loaded with things you'd actually want to eat. The vibe sits somewhere between a proper neighbourhood café and somewhere you'd come for a quiet breakfast before heading into the West End, which makes it work brilliantly for both the daily regulars and people catching a meeting nearby.
