A space for community , connection & belonging
Welcome to Umu Kitchen, where a passion for exceptional coffee meets the warmth of community. Nestled in the heart of Tarragindi, Umu is a haven for coffee enthusiasts and food lovers alike.
Emily and Soane have always believed that Umu is more than just coffee. We are a welcoming community space where friends, families and individuals come together to savour moments of connection. Our cozy ambience and friendly staff create an inviting atmosphere, making Umu the perfect place to unwind, catch up for a casual breakfast or lunch, get through a bit of work, or engage in lively conversations.
Having opened our doors in November 2018, we are proud to provide a seasonal menu of the freshest produce, crafted with passion by our owner & head chef, Soane.
Soane’s Tongan heritage has taught him the value of culture and community – something he strives to represent through his cooking. Growing up in Tonga, Soane learnt to cook through Umu – a traditional method of cookery that involves digging a hole in the ground, burning rocks and cooking with the coals. This has taught him simplicity and a great appreciation for what the earth and nature has provided for us. Having dipped his toes into almost every other cuisine there is through his cooking journey, Soane simply aims to inspire and provide a menu that is fresh, exciting and able to be shared with loved ones.
Whether you are a coffee connoisseur seeking the perfect brew, or a food enthusiast craving delightful flavours, we invite you to share in the Umu community. Join us in celebrating the simple joys of life, one sip and one bite at a time.
Come & Dine With Us
Drinks
Our drinks menu changes with the seasons, keeping things fresh, interesting and a little unexpected. We love bringing together traditional Tongan favourites, drinks inspired by what’s trending, and the simple classics - tea and coffee, just done well. We believe every drink tells a story and deserves to be enjoyed, whether it’s a catch-up with friends or simply a small moment of joy in your day.
All Day Dining
Our food menu is inspired by the flavours, ingredients and traditions of Tonga, bringing a little taste of home to every plate. We love celebrating Pacifica flavours and putting our own spin on them, while still making room for the good old classics we all know and love. Our menu changes with the seasons, but our focus stays the same - fresh, comforting food made with care, meant to be shared, enjoyed and remembered.
Catering + Events
Whether you’re planning a big celebration, a small gathering or something in between, our catering and events are all about keeping things simple. We take the fuss out of feeding your guests, with delicious food, thoughtful options and a helping hand when you need it. No matter the size or occasion, we’re here to make things easy, relaxed and enjoyable - so you can focus on being there, not what’s happening in the kitchen.
