Süreyya Kahve Is Coming to West End, and It’s Redefining What a Cafe Can Be

West End locals looking for a cafe that takes nutrition as seriously as its coffee are about to have a new option on Mollison Street. Süreyya Kahve is preparing to open its doors in late April inside Function Well’s soon-to-open luxury wellness hub, and it’s shaping up to be one of the more interesting additions to the suburb’s already well-loved cafe scene.

The concept comes from husband-and-wife duo Dr Oz Dedehayir and Kristy Morris, the founders of KAILO Group, which has built a reputation as one of Australia’s leading medispa and nutrition brands. For the pair, Süreyya Kahve isn’t a side project — it’s a natural extension of everything they’ve been building in the health and wellness space, this time expressed through food, coffee, and community.

At the heart of it is Dr Oz’s Turkish heritage. The cafe’s name, its identity, and its philosophy are all rooted in that cultural thread, with the team describing the concept as one that looks to redefine cafe culture with an offering centred around intelligent nutrition.

What’s on the menu?

The team is keeping most of the details under wraps for now, but what has been confirmed points to something more considered than the average cafe offering. Süreyya Kahve will serve high-quality, nutrient-dense meals including healthy salads and sandwiches, alongside smoothies infused with KAILO Nutrition supplements. On the coffee side, the venue will be pouring specialty coffee from ST ALi.

The phrase the team keeps returning to is intelligent nutrition, with food and drink designed to do something beyond just tasting good. Given that KAILO Group’s background spans both medispa treatments and nutritional products, there’s genuine expertise sitting behind that promise rather than just marketing language.

West End has long attracted residents who care about where their food comes from, who made it, and what it’s doing for them. The neighbourhood’s cafe culture has leaned independent and values-driven, with locals quick to support businesses that feel like they genuinely belong to the community.

Placing Süreyya Kahve on the ground floor of Function Well’s new luxury wellness hub on Mollison Street reinforces that fit, bringing together fitness, health, and considered eating under one roof.

The Süreyya Kahve team has indicated that more details, including a fuller picture of the menu and the space itself, will be revealed in the coming weeks ahead of the late April opening. It’s early days, but for a suburb that already takes its food and wellbeing seriously, this one is worth keeping a close eye on.

A Decade of Coffee and Connection: Morning After in West End Marks Ten Years with Style

In a suburb known for its coffee and creative energy, Morning After is widely regarded by locals as a beloved café. The West End favourite is celebrating ten years, a milestone that reflects both its loyal community and its focus on quality coffee.

What began as a family venture between Yianni and Soula Passaris has become a long-running fixture in the neighbourhood. When they opened Morning After on the corner of Vulture and Cambridge Streets, the café scene in Brisbane was still evolving.

The owners drew on fine-dining experience to bring restaurant-standard service to a casual brunch setting, at a time when specialty coffee culture was still growing locally. With a sleek interior by designer Alexander Lotersztain of Derlot and a focus on balanced, all-day fare, Morning After quickly drew attention. Its menu offered a thoughtful mix of wholesome, fun and indulgent dishes, while coffee by Five Senses became a defining feature.

A decade on, the café continues to be noted for its attention to food and coffee. To mark the anniversary, the team has launched a limited-edition range of merchandise and coffee collaborations that highlight its partnerships and playful spirit. The line-up includes a T-shirt designed with Breakfast Shirts, a classic cap crafted by Worktones, the team behind Morning After’s aprons, and a reusable Fressko cup.

Coffee fans can also enjoy the special 10-Year Celebration Coffee, created with Five Senses Coffee. The espresso blend, available both in-store and for home brewing, features tasting notes of blueberry cobbler and semi-sweet chocolate. The filter roast lists jasmine tea, blueberry and citrus notes, and both blends feature blueberry highlights.

On Wednesday 15 October, the café will offer 150 free coffees from 7:00 am as a thank-you to the community. In a Facebook post, the team shared their gratitude, writing: “Thank you to everyone who has supported our cafe for 10 years and we cannot wait to celebrate another 10 years with you all.”

Popular West End GoodGood Cafe Undergoes Big Change with New Deli Focus

A well-loved coffee spot in West End has surprised locals by getting a fresh new look and completely changing what it offers to the community. GoodGood on Beesley Street, a familiar name to many, has reopened after a renovation with a brand-new focus as a deli.

The people behind this change are Lachlan Geraghty and Josh Power, who first became known in West End when they opened the small coffee shop Little Peaches in 2021.

They always planned to grow their business in a way that would benefit the community and keep things interesting for themselves. This latest step is a big one for the pair.

From Cafe to Deli

GoodGood first opened next door to Little Peaches in a much bigger space. They had done much of the work to create a stylish and open feel. At first, it was a cafe during the day and a wine bar at night, hoping to become a central meeting place in West End. However, the owners felt that their design didn’t truly show who they were and what they wanted GoodGood to become.

Mr Geraghty explained that while they thought the original space was beautiful, they designed it without really thinking about their own identity and what they wanted to achieve. He added that he wanted to bring back some of the feeling of Little Peaches into the new space.

So, they decided to make a change. They moved their coffee gear back into Little Peaches for a few months while the inside of GoodGood was redone. This time, they aimed to create a warmer, more inviting space with better sound quality.

Mr Geraghty said that the original GoodGood felt too plain, so they intentionally went in the opposite direction by adding lots of different textures while keeping a simple colour scheme.

The New Space and Menu

When you walk into GoodGood, you’ll see timber walls, terracotta-coloured tiles, and textured surfaces, with plants adding some greenery. The layout is mostly the same, but the kitchen has been made bigger and better equipped.

The large concrete counter has been replaced with a lighter, floating counter to make serving customers easier. The front of the cafe has also been changed to create a small outdoor area where people can sit with their dogs, although Mr Geraghty mentioned that this area still needs a bit more work.

While the new look was important, the change mainly aimed to focus on a business idea that better matched what the owners wanted. Because of this, they are also changing the name from GoodGood West End to GoodGood Deli. Mr Geraghty stated that they have started the process of changing their business name and that their aim now is to operate as a deli.

GoodGood will still be open in the mornings, serving coffee from Sunshine Coast roaster Tim Adams and a smaller breakfast menu. However, they will now focus more on providing lunch options, which Mr Geraghty believes is lacking in their part of West End.

He noticed many office workers were going to the supermarket to buy lunch because there weren’t many other choices nearby. He also mentioned talking to customers who said the same thing.

To address this, GoodGood Deli will soon launch a new lunch menu featuring a range of deli-style sandwiches. Mr Power has been in charge of creating these recipes, taking inspiration from his family history in baking. Mr Geraghty explained that Mr Power’s grandfather owned a successful bakery in New South Wales many years ago and that Mr Power has spent the last six to eight months working on different bread recipes.

The sandwiches will be made with a soft focaccia bread and filled with high-quality meats and cheeses, all prepared in-house. The lunch menu will also include a daily salad and a house-made lasagne, but the owners plan to keep the menu flexible, with items changing regularly. Mr Geraghty also noted that they have stopped their evening service but plan to bring back a nighttime offering.

Looking ahead, Mr Geraghty expressed his appreciation for the support they have received from both new and regular customers since Little Peaches’s earliest days. He acknowledged that it is a privilege to be able to make such significant changes, especially at a time when many hospitality businesses are facing challenges.

He said that the renovation wasn’t done because the community asked for it, but because it was something they wanted to do. He feels it’s great that they have been able to adapt and grow with the support of their customers. Mr Geraghty believes they are now finally ready to launch the kind of business they had always envisioned.
