Nestled near the hospital in Birtinya, this cozy cafe draws a steady mix of local workers, visitors, and anyone looking for a comfortable spot to take a break. It’s the kind of place where you’re likely to find familiar faces behind the counter, ready with a friendly greeting and quick, attentive service. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, with a modest footprint that suits solo diners or small groups more than large gatherings.
The menu focuses on fresh, straightforward options you can enjoy with excellent coffee or a wide selection of teas. Light bites like sandwiches, wraps, and toasties sit alongside fresh pastries, making it a convenient stop for breakfast, brunch, or a quick lunch. Whether you’re dropping by for a health-conscious snack or something a bit more indulgent, the offerings feel approachable and satisfying.
Outdoor seating is available for those who prefer to enjoy their meal in the open air, while indoors there’s a calm vibe that also caters well to people working on their laptops. Accessibility is thoughtfully considered here—with wheelchair-friendly entrances, parking, restrooms, and seating—making it welcoming to all visitors.
Parking can be a bit tricky given its proximity to the hospital, but there is free parking on site. The clientele tends to include hospital staff who appreciate a reliable, friendly spot nearby, locals looking for quality coffee and casual meals, and small groups or families who enjoy the easygoing setting. It’s a place that manages to feel both trendy and unpretentious, where personal touches and consistent service make it a quietly reliable choice in the neighborhood.

"Great service, delicious coffee and yummy food"
"Great environment to sit bat and relax and have a batch brew."
"Great food....different salads and daily specials...very tasty."
5 Best customer service every single time! Chloe and Jordan are legends
5 Coffee was good and the pastries were great! Service was excellent. Small and not ideal for very large groups. Parking can be an issue too being so close to the hospital.
5 Excellent service and friendly people are the norm at Sonders Cafe. Go here if you want delicious coffee scrumptious snacks and warm company. And they remember your name if you are a daily customer See my photo for (half) a break wrap, easily my preferred snack. Yeah I feel really good when I go to Sonders!!!
5 Super great cafe with a wide variety of delicious sandwiches, wraps, and toasties. They also have some beautiful pastries on offer. Friendly and personal service. This cafe is a total gem. There is a reason why the hospital staff are lining up (never a long wait). They make great coffee, too!! Support local!
5 Great little coffee place. Close to work and the hospital. The girls running it are super, friendly, helpful, fun loving. The food is fresh, tasty and well presented. Very popular with hospital staff, for good reason. The coffee is better than some of the nearby cafes!
5 Always great service, coffee and food. An oasis if you're headed to SCUH Public or Private. Worth the quick trip across the road (hello fresh air) that's way better than anything that's on offer at both hospitals.
Customers love the coffee, pastries, sandwiches, and breakfast wraps, especially the break wrap that’s a popular snack choice.
It’s perfect for both quick stops and relaxed visits, with options for takeout or dining in a cozy, casual setting.
The cafe is busy with hospital staff during peak hours, but generally the wait is never long, so it’s worth dropping by anytime.
Sonder Espresso is small and better suited for individuals or small groups rather than large parties.
There’s outdoor seating, wheelchair accessible facilities, free parking, and options to pay by card or mobile NFC.
