Solace Kitchen is a unique culinary gem located on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. For several years we have been serving up street food and gourmet delights, mostly inspired by the cuisine of South-East Asia and owner Mel’s Chinese-Malaysian heritage.

From 2019-2024, Solace Café operated out of an attractive vintage-style caravan as a unique outdoor café - first in Ingleside and then in Belrose. Beyond its delectable and varied menu, Solace Kitchen has always been committed to eco-ethical practices, featuring an edible garden, worm farm, compost, and a 24/7 Free Pantry (at 280 Powderworks Rd, Ingleside) which allows people to donate or receive donations to help those in need. 

Solace is a top-rated business on Google and has received a Finalist Award 5 years in a row in the Local Business Awards. On top of all that, we've achieved a top 5-star rating on 'Scores on Doors' for food safety and hygiene.

Although the cafe is currently closed (for now), Solace Kitchen continues to provide catering services for public and private events, popping up at local food markets, where they continue to serve up their unique street food menu, and delivering their popular frozen meal range to a growing customer base in Sydney.

Known for its nutritious and delicious street food, Solace offers a variety of unique fusion dishes inspired by South-East Asian cuisine, including popular items like bao burgers, roti toasties and frozen curry packs. They also serve up their house made Jun kombucha, superfood probiotic kefir smoothies and Fairtrade Organic coffee/tea at select events.

Mel is also available to teach cooking classes and workshops for making probiotic drinks such as kombucha, jun and kefir. The goal is to find the right location to bring it all together: café-restaurant, events/classes, retail offering, edible garden and catering.
